Forum Memberlist search

[Virgotec 10]

Hi All

 

Don't know if I'm just being "doff", but is there any way you can search for a specific forum member in the Memberlist without paging through all the usernames.

 

I have used the sort buttons but if I want to find a username like MickeyMouse for instance, I have to keep on clicking next page until I get to the M's.

 

Thanks :oops:

I have found a "cheat" method:

 

Go to the message area and "prepare" a message. For the username you can do a general search in a pop-up window. Get the info required, then don't send the message! The name will only appear if the user is active on the forum.

 

(Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...)

 

:wink:

Thanks :lol:

 

That does work, but don't you think there should be a search option on the Memberlist similar to the one in the messaging?

I agree!

 

I discovered the "cheat" method out of desperation!

Desperation usually births great ideas! :lol:

Hi bube02,

 

Do you want a link just to see if someone is a member of the Forum, meaning not to contact them by pm at that stage ?

Hi Andries

 

I was actually wanting to check if someone was a member of the forum.

 

Janet helped me out, but I still think there should be a search option in the memberlist area.

 

Will suggest it on the suggestions forum.

 

Thanks

Just bookmark the same link used in the pm function :wink:
