It turns out that it was quite expensive to maintain that data, and people have complained about it previously as a privacy concern, so it's likely to stay disabled for a long time, at least.
Was it the same kind of thinking that caused the disabling of the ability to scan through a list of all members?
Now, we have to look up members one by one, we cannot just scan through a list of everyone to see user name, rank, relative number of posts, registration date and similar general information.
Dude, just drop it! If theymos says it's too expensive to maintain, then it's too expensive to maintain. Why don't you just go and comment on the tens of thousands of posts pertaining to the Merit thingy and user alia, of which are not too expensive to maintain such data.
So dude.. .are you asserting that who's online and display of all members in the search for members is the same feature? That was my question.
Regarding your assessment and seeming recommendation of how I should spend my forum posting time... whoaza!!!! I did not realize that you had so much pent up emotion about such a topic..
In your utmost wisdom regarding my productive use of forum time, is there any specific other post that you believe to be moar deserving of my undivided attention, rather than this one?
Yes. May I also suggest the various nullius "The Merit Hog" threads.
