No 'me too's are necessary!

Believe me, it drives me nuts also. (remember: I'm one of, if not THE,
person(s) who use this site most)   ;-)   I'm constantly looking up people.

Not only a search, but I also want the members list to be broken up into a
number of smaller pages. These items have been on our to-do list for a very
long time. Unfortunately, I haven't the coding ability to do it, but I'm sure
Todd or Dan will.

thanks for bringing it up.

btw, that's a mighty big sig you have there...  ;-)

Hi Todd, Suzzanne. Well, with 1600 members, it's getting harder and harder
to try to look some one up in the member directory. I'm hoping that this
suggestion will help not only me, but others who are looking up others in
the member directory, as well as you both.

What I'm suggesting is a filtered search engine on the find members page;
http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/ . The filtered search would allow you
to find some one specific, rather than get the entire list sorted by the 4
choices now available, or, only display those with a particular first (or
for that matter) last name.  It would include: find a member by; member #,
member name (first or last), specific country (i.e. Germany), or affiliated
organization.

I'm hoping also that others will indeed do a "me too" post to this
suggestion, so that you can see how much others will want this feature. I
know that you all have a lot of other things to do in Lugnet, but I hope
that you have time to consider this, and hopefully implement this suggestion.

(...) Thanks Suz. I thought I'd just bring it up to the forefront. It's getting critical mass size. I know how valuable a tool it will be when implemented. (...) I'll shorten it a bit this time...
