Switch Trans Left Out Of Certain Searches - 8/17/2014 6:26:34 PM

My apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I couldn't find another forum area where this seemed applicable. I love Collar Me, and it's always been a fantastic site that I visit daily. This post is regarding an issue that I've brought up to the site developers for nine years...

Transgendered switches are left out in the cold a bit here. :( There's no way (at least not that I've seen) to put that you're looking for a transgendered switch in a checkbox for your profile. You can pick any other combination of gender and role. You also can't search for people who are looking for transgendered switches, for the same reason - there is no option. This leaves me having to search separately for people who want "Submissive Trans" or "Dominant Trans", when I don't identify as either. And of course, some of these folks don't want either of those "combinations" as well.

I hope that someone sees my post who can possibly forward it to a person who could have something done about it. Other than this, I've never had an issue with Collar Me, and I'll continue to be appreciative of it regardless. :) Thank you in advance to anyone who's willing to help.

The mods of collarchat have no control of what happens on collarspace. You need to contact support.

Sadly, I have - many times over the years. They say they will forward it to someone, but it never gets fixed. I don't know how hard of a thing this is to change. I once experimented with HTML, and checkboxes seemed relatively simple. However, I know nothing about search engines. :(

Unfortunately, they seem to be running the site on a shoestring, and things rarely get fixed.
And I agree with you, this is something that should be fixed.

Um, I selected gender=trans and orientation=switch and did a search on trans switches with no problem.

The actual search is fine. However, you can't select that you're "actively seeking" a switch trans in the checkboxes under "edit profile". This then causes me also not be able to search for someone who is actively seeking a switch trans. It's rather complicated to explain, as it's all along similar lines.
