What happened to the members list?

[Shewie]

I use the members list to grab folks details for PMs, has it been moved/removed or am I just being blind?

 

[Retired Member southey]

I don't think your blind Rich, its buger owf!

 

[Pandabean]

Nope, not your eyes. I was looking for it the other day and swear that it used to be on the top bar but has mysteriously vanished.

Yeah, I closed it down as it helps keep the forums up to speed, the busier the site gets the more requests to the server and the member list takes a lot of juice. I appreciate that there's a few people use it but it's used mostly by non members, visitors etc.

 

[Shewie]

That would make sense, cheers boss

 

[Shewie]

Could we have it back as a FM privilege Tony? It'd cut down on the requests from guest users etc, if it's still hammering the server over a trial period then take it away for good.

Is it possible within the software to allow FM profiles only to see the list?

Ahhh that would explain why I couldn't find it. Thought I was going mad as well when I went looking for it and I couldn't see it

After Wanderinstar commented on it's disappearance a couple of weeks ago I scoured the forums looking for it too
Finally asked the Boss

I've highlighted this thread in the Mods so that I know Admin will see it. I don't know if it can be done, but for those of us who use the forum frequently it was very useful.

cheers,
M

I don't think you can have this selected by usergroup, it's all or nothing. I can't see a way of allowing a usergroup access on an individual basis, I'll enquire further if it's possible but i've just spent 20 odd minutes on it and come up with nought.
