    Default Don't you just hate searching for members?

    I'd like to be able to easily locate a member in the Memberlist than to search for the member. I think it'll be cool if we enable a Member Locater. ;D I have the 'hack' on me at the moment. So, if any of you Admins think this is a good idea, contact me.

    That sounds like a really cool idea to me.

    No idea what it is, but "Member Locater" sounds funky.

    if you know their member name, i don't see how finding them on the memberlist is that hard. in the days before alphabetical indexing, maybe...

    Yeah, just click the first letter of their name, then scroll down to it..

    Or select Advanced Search and type in their member name, or just part of it.

    That looks like nearly the same thing as Advanced Search. Do we really need something else just like it?

    But it's right there on the memberlist front page. Some people would find it more conveniant than to search for the member through 5,000+ members or using the Advanced Search

    I don't remember anyone saying that, or mocking you. They probably just think it's not worth hacking the board over. Just wait and see what BOU has to say before you start feeling sorry for yourself.
