Members List

Is there a reason why it is closed off? I always have trouble looking for a member to forum PM.

It was disabled long ago due to 'security issues' from what i remember. Here's a quote from Spark back in 05 when the topic came about the first time.

I already tried it, vBulletin only (however) either makes it so that the member list is enabled for all or none at all. And we don't want it enabled for guests :frown:

I couldn't see an option that allowed it just for certain groups.

It's been said many times that the members list will not be enbaled.

I don't see the point of it being enabled anyway, but the memberlist can easily be modified in about 3 minutes so that usergroup id 1, which are guests, cannot view it while it is enabled, but as i said i don't see a point in it being enabled, and doubt it'll ever be enabled again.

If you type the first 3 letters in the address field it drops a list of all possible members

Just out of curiosity, was it ever explained just how guests seeing the members list is a security risk in the first place?

For the same reason that posting percent signs is a security risk.
Hint: No reason.

Yes, Unixmad said because it's basically a list of all Graal accounts nearly.

Not everyone is ok with having their account names public, to people who aren't even a part of our community.

Because they run their forum/game the way they want to no matter what anyone says and regardless of the state of the said forum/game.
