I think an easier way to find members would be cool.

How are you trying to find members?

I know I wish there was a way of going to the members list, and having a dropdown menu, as with the search function.

I suspect it would probably put an even larger strain on the DB, though.

I go to the members list, click the starting letter and pick a random number where I think they are. I don't really care doing that, but sometimes it can get annoying.

Well, if you know the member, why don't you just do a search?

Because if you don't know the member that well, or there aren't enough letters for the dropdown menu to work, it's almost impossible.

What if the member in question is E ! ?

Or e2py?

You can find them if you go to the members list, but not if you try to do a 'search the forums'.

I just did a search for E ! and it came up. I don't mean the "Search the forum", if you go to the memberlist, there is a "Search Member", the link is located right above the "Last Visit" column. If you don't know the entire name, just put in a couple of characters and some suggestions will pop up. Or just list what you do know and a list of names will be made.

?

I could never make it do that...strange. I thought it was odd I couldn't do that, as I thought it was a standard feature of vBulletin :p .

Never mind :o .

Lovely, I failed to notice it. Weirder part is someone here has my name except with 2 x's.
