Searching and filtering the members list

While you can order the members listed based on the different columns provided on the members list page, there might come a time where you need to search for one or more specific members. You can find a member more quickly using the Search bar on the members page, or by using the View All drop-down menu found just above the first listed member on the members page.

If you can recall a word used in a members display name, or even just a couple of letters, you can use the Search function found toward the top-right hand corner of the members page. You'll notice that as you begin typing, the members list will dynamically update as you type providing you with relevant results based on what you are typing. If you need to refine even more, you can click on the magnifying glass icon found to the right of the search bar on the page, and the pop-up window that appears will allow you to filter based on a members post count and/or registration date.

If you need to find more than one member, you can use the View All drop-down menu to sort the members list by the following:

View Staff - This will update the members list to only show staff members of the forum.

View Following - This option will update the members list to only show the members that you are currently following.

View Followers - With this option selected, you'll see a list of members who are using the follow feature to follow your forum activity.

View Friends - If you are following someone who is following you back, they are considered your friend on the forum. This option will update the members list to show your forum friends.

View Online Now - This selection will update the member list to only show you which members are currently online on the forum. The only time this will not be the case is if a member has their profile set to be invisible, which will hide the member's online status.

View Online Today - With this selected, you'll see a list of all members that have been online within the last 24 hours. The only time this will not be the case is if a member has their profile set to be invisible, which would hide the member's online status.

View Birthdays - This will update the member list to only show you the members who have a birthday today. However, if a forum member has their birthday hidden in their profile, they will not show up on this list on the day of their birthday.

View All - Using this will revert the member list back to displaying all members on the forum in alphabetical order.
