This is already available on both the Android and iPhone apps!

I didn't "process" his issue when I was reading it earlier today, had someone come in my office and take away my attention while I was reading This is absolutely what he should do is disable notifications for that one entry.

TAM, if you can't find the option, I'll have Arthur come in here and give you a how-to (or perhaps someone else here can). I don't have an iPhone to be able to walk you through it

Russell wrote:Hi all,

I enabled a new feature today on Texas3006.com. The watch list cities have been replaced with a zip code and radius setting that everybody can set up in their "My Panel". You can now be notified of new entries within a range of a zip code that you define as opposed to being limited to 5 cities.

If you had configured your watch list, I have defaulted you to a 50 mile radius within the zip code for the first city you had defined. If the city was misnamed in some way, that has been ignored and your watch list settings removed. Didn't do this to be mean, there are over 6000 people using the watch list feature, about 400 had something wrong with the way it was configured. Can't spend time fixing 400 people individually!

I'd recommend visiting your watch list settings and verifying they are set how you want them to be.


Thanks all, and as always let me know if you see any issues!

I wonder if you could keep the current new setup with a radius and also have the ability to choose up to five zip codes. Also, the jump from 10-50 miles is a big jump. Could there be an intermediate distance of 20 or 25 miles?

I understand this is a new feature, so maybe we can just wait and see what other users think and if they have similar concerns or recommendations.

Something to keep in mind (that I have just now put as a note in the My Panel page), is the distance starts from the center of the zip code area. Hence why I did 10 (for tiny zip codes) and then 50, as the thought behind that was it would incorporate communities outside of a major zip code at that point.

I'm not super well versed in the typical zip code "size".

Given that the distances starts from the center of the zip code, would a distance in between 10 and 50 still be helpful?
