Hasn't been updated since August 2015. I don't know if there was another class between 8/15 and 1/16 but is this list automatically update? It says it's instructors who asked for their information to be posted but I don't remember being asked that anywhere.

It is useless unless they can sort by either zip code or city/county. It is very user UNFRIENDLY.

Looks like the only way to identify a location is by area code.

I wonder how this list is compiled. I have been an Instructor since 2002 and my name is 4 from the bottom.

Yeah it doesn't seem to have anything but names in no particular order. While a list could be useful for someone looking for an instructor, with it not being listed either by location or in some semblance of order it's really useless.

You're right, the only way to locate anyone is by area code but as a new guy on the block anything that puts my name out there helps.

I commented about this some months back .. Several years back when I signed up to be listed they were by County. Then 2 years ago who knows
how to Find an Instructor. ??
There is no reason or rhyme to it. :banghead: :banghead:

In a class I had this week there was a guy th in the middle of the class said your name on the list shows you are Jr
," I am 75 yo and the only 3 places I am registerd that way is on TX CHL, Tx DL and VA card

In none of the cards or advertising I do has Jr. on it.
I asked him how he found out.. He said he was a retired govt Home land Security.

If the folks running the computers would just use an antiquainted program I had on a Kapro 10 MB I had back in 83 it would be SIMPLE

I am not that good with computers or typing for that matter but Jeez they have the newest and brightest machinery that will do it for them without breaking a sweat.. all they have to do is push a button. :thumbs2:

Are you listening at CHL or RSD ? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I tried contacting RSD via the contact form, but never heard anything in response, but that was months ago. I figured it wasn't worth worrying about until they fix the list.

Maybe they could just turn it over to Google, they can find anybody. :biggrinjester:

All it would take is a numbering system with a link to google maps showing the class/range location.
