if i want to find someones contact info, i have to either look for a topic or post by them, or i have to search page by page through the member list. This may not seem like a big thing, or something important, but it cant be that hard to put in, and it would save SO much time--it probably takes longer to find a member now than it would take to make the search function.

What do you guys think? and please, dont just post "what? i dont get it"

you GUESS it would be cool? it would be PRETTY helpful? have you ever tried to find info on a member whose name starts with a letter that isn't at the ends of the alphabet? it takes like 15 minutes to get to the middle of the list

it would be a quantum leap from the system we have working now. i want to see it done.... if TMyApp has time for it, of course. he does so much for us already. i'd hate to see him overworked so he can get BITCHED at by little newcomers and old power hungry pricks. so i don't want anyone to start flappin their gums about how TMyApp could do this so easily and crap like that.

i haven't seen any yet so i'm proud of you guys. but surely enough an inexperienced newcower or an old conflict hunter will come around to this thread. i hate it when it comes to that.

haolys--TMyApp wouldnt be the one to do it. HTML isnt his thing--he tried to make us a VIP section and ended up taking away our posting priveleges :biggrin:...he does a good job with the game, but LeftyFB is the mastermind of the forum

Give the credit where its deserved--too many people forget about LeftyFB.

thanks viper, i didn't realize that. sorry LeftyFB, i sorta forgot about you. i'll be sure to mention you in future reference. is there any other forgotten heroes of the game that i've missed? really, i'd like to know. i'd like to give credit where it's deserved
