I've noticed some changes at BrickShelf recently - namely how searches are done.

Specifically, the 'search by lastname' function has been replaced by 'search by
username.'


First and last names are not collected or displayed due to privacy concerns.
Also, in the unlikely event that someone under 13 uses the site we want
t o comply with US privacy laws.  There is nothing to stop a use from uploading
a text file with their personal information or including their real name in a
folder description for easier searching.  There is also nothing to stop someone
form including elements of their real name in their username.

All good and reasonable.

But you didn't answer the (implied) question... Is this a change or are many of
us misremembering? I *seem* to remember being able to put "pien" into the entry
field displayed when you clicked on "search members" from here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi
and find myself.

Now I no longer can.

It is POSSIBLE I'm misremembering and Lenny is too, so hence my question.

No, you're correct Lar, it is definitely a change. Oh well, score one more for
The Red Tape.
