Not sure if others have reported this problem but, when trying to search personal ads, I once selected Washington state to search within. Now, I have been unable for months to "de-select" WA state and search on a wider/different basis. It will initially allow me to "deselect" but when the search results come back, it has "defaulted" back to WA and only brings back those results. Nothing I try seems to fix this.
Thanks for looking into it!

That is by design CalyxSoSweet. It always defaults to your home area (the area you have selected in your profile), the idea being that 95% of the time people want to search their home area. I could always be talked into setting it up differently, but the way it is now is fairly simple and I think makes sense in most cases. We could maybe have the area default back to what you last searched, but it might be extra complication for only a little bit of benefit - like I said though I can be talked into almost anything if the reasoning is sound and enough people make the argument.

Now that is what I call one hell of an honest answer. I gotta love it.
