I'm getting profiles of people outside of the boundaries I asked for by thousands of KMS how do I change this also out of the country

You can only set your filters by distance of who can email you here..

Click Account , Mail , Set mail filters make sure to click Change Preference..

As far as who can view your Profile anybody can this is an International site...

The Search area you can set your filters but it will show those first and then span out to others not in the area.. No way to change that.. And the Search Feature you have to set those each time you Search..

This is extremely poor design. The miles limit should be designed to either be a hard limit or the way it is set up now. The users should be able to choose which of the two alternatives they prefer. BTW, it used to be that the miles limit was a hard limit, but some blithering idiot changed it to be a soft limit only. Any design that removes options from the user is, putting it mildly, less than optimal.

PS. I was a software engineer for 45+ years, so I have some experience to back up my judgment.

Humm well as long as I have been here this is the way the site has been set up.. If one just sets their filters for emails at least only those within that distance can email them.. But anyone has always had the option to see all profiles regardless the distance..

We seem to be talking of two different things. You talk about setting a distance limit on who may text you. I am talking about the distance limit in the search. The meaning of the latter has certainly changed. I don't know anything about the former; I haven't used it, and I know nothing about it.

The meaning of the distance limit in the search certainly has changed since I started here in January 2025. That limit used to be a hard limit; it now is largely meaningless.
