dynaverse has this problem. Plus, the numbers on the bottom go 1,2,3,64..ect. What if I want page 30? I need to keep clicking ahead 3 pages at a time. Alphabetical would help, so would a username search similar to the admin database where you can search for a part of a username, IE lets say someone is named "starfox" but you don't find them under S becayse they have a clan tag ahead of their name. A search function would solve that problem.

If you want to go to another page quickly, look up at the URL bar and change the number behind "&start=" (either add it, or go to another page).

So if I were on page 2:
Code:
http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~bridgecommander/phpBB/memberlist.php?mode=joined&order=ASC&start=50


And I wanted to go to page 30 fast, then I'd type 1400 instead of 50.

So it becomes:
Code:
http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~bridgecommander/phpBB/memberlist.php?mode=joined&order=ASC&start=1450

And I press Enter.

Exactly, Senator had a post count of less than 300 for at least 2 years or so and he actually knew everyone. So I would never consider a low post count or turnout a sign of inactivity.

I typed my own username in it and hit enter, the page blinked, and nothing else happened. I'd say it's broken. Laughing

It works for me.

I'm using Firefox 1.5Beta2.

[EDIT] It works with your name as well.
I did hit the button, and I didn't press Enter.

Yea, it works fine.

Enter just activates the sort button.

With the sarcastic remark I meant that because I "recently checked it out" I knew there was a search function.
And it was never broken.

Unless you pressed Enter, instead of clicking on one of the buttons.

Why would you reduce the number of accounts on the site? it seems to me to be a bad idea. As has been said (ouch that sounds like bad grammar) someone might be gone for say, a military deployment, then come back and wonder, 'hey, where's my account?'.

The problem is not so much inactive users as the piles of bots that infest the memberlist

Not really, there are numerous members whose contact details in there profiles are now totally incorrect

It was generally decided quite a while ago that'd be best just to leave it all alone
