[Suggestion] A B C

In the Members Menu of the Forums, is it at all possible to have some kind of a system where the letters of the alphabet are listed, and when you click on, for example, "M" it shows you all the usernames beginning with "M" and so on...?

...because at the moment, the only way to remotely come close to that is by sorting all the names by "username" and then senselessly searching through pages and pages until you find the right one after a while.

I've thought about that, but what if they're name starts with " ™ " ?

Yeah, or asterisks or numbers. That'd be very difficult to code and account for, I think. (Is oblivious to the coding, but is playin the odds).

Also, I don't see any advantage to that, considering that the only time you'd have reason to look for a starting letter would be to find a specific member, for which member search works even better.

Have an "Other" Category for all of the weird ones.

I think this is a good idea. I hope that it is possible but doesn't take too much work.

Actually, it's already possible to do that. At the bottom of the members list, the "all" in "Showing all users" is a dropdown box of the letters of the alphabet.

I gotta look at every single link on this site now. I didn't even know you could look at all your posts before that one thread that asked what was your first post. Then two days ago, or four, I just found out how to use the "Who's Where Online" or something along the lines. And Now this.
