I think you SkaDate programmers are absolute geniuses!  You do however seem to occasionally mess up on some little details (Friday afternoon rush?!)  Wink...

The "to age" select box on the "match age" is just sooooooooo user unfriendly.  First you have a drop-down for the "from" age which is in descending order (1 - 99), then you have a drop-down for the "to" age which is in ascending order!  That is just so bizarre to use.  I understand why you have done this - because you want to have the "to" age as 99, and when you put them in the list in the wrong order, the first item is the one you want. 

But there is a much better way of doing it:
a) Have the the select box sorted in the natural order (i.e. 1 first in the list, 99 last)
b) use the selected="selected" option of the dropdown to force the last item in the list as the one selected.

See for example:

Yes! I agree completely. I was thinking this the other day. I was making a profile for my friend and its such a pain. 95%of  people are not 99 they are younger and its really annoying scrolling down all the way to 22 or 40 or whatever age.

Good point brussels

Hi - we had a mod written to force in a set "to age" 0f 55 to try and reduce this problem ...
