How do I find other NeighborPal neighbors?

Thank you for asking. You can "search and find" other NeighborPal user's IF a user has their privacy settings set to "All Registered Users".

For example, if you like to play Chess, and have Chess in your profile interests, you can set your "About You" profile privacy settings to "All Registered Users" and users searching for Chess players in the area will see you in their search results.

Some users limit their sharing (with privacy settings) to their individual contacts, Neighbor Directory or Groups to only share with people they've met and are connected to in the area.

To help keep the site relevant to neighbors and local friends the search results are within 5 miles of your profile address, not the entire NeighborPal community worldwide. For example, a NeighborPal user on the 1200 Block of Carol St. in Boulder, Colorado wants to know about her area, not necessarily what's going in a neighborhood 15 miles away. There are other services for that.


Does this help?
