The 'distance from' calculator on peoples profiles is never right, what's the point in it being there?
I was talking to someone in the chat room, looked at their profile... ah 50 miles away, thats cool, i'll check google maps to see exactly where this place is, oh its actually 100 miles away.
Its only a minor irritation, but, there you go...
erm pointless thread is pointless
sorry to waste your time
I've noticed that, but also some people give false post codes for privacy reasons too.
*lover*
also i think the milage calculator is 'as the crow flies' not a by road distance asa a re most distence calculators on sites even vanilla ones apart from ones that use a map to do a proper calculation
I used to camp out with the scouts in Cwm! 'kin times we had then ohhhhhh the good ol'days sitting by the campfire and and being eaten afrigginlive by the bloody Gnats.
Nice place though
I do believe (Assuming the profile post codes are assumed correct) that the distance calculator is "As the crow flies".
The actual "route" distance would be to add half the listed distance.
For example, if MissRightNow were listed as being 20 miles from me, then adding half would suggest she is really 30 miles from me.
See if this is closer ;)
