Question about member list

[agate]

When I try to find a user name for someone here, I have trouble wading through the large number of bogus registrations showing up on the member list. Is there any way of removing these nonmembers from the list?

I believe that deleting them would also delete their birthdays from the calendar, and that would make it easier to find birthdays of real members.

Short answer no. Long answer ... would take entirely too much time to manually go through each person on the member list and try to determine if they are real or spam bot.

Here are some ways to narrow down a search...

At the top of the Members List, you'll see User Name, Homepage, Join Date, Posts, Last Visit. When you click on User Name, it puts the names in alphabetical order.

Clicking on Join Date, puts the names in order of when members joined. When the arrow points upward on Join Date, you'll see who joined when the site returned in '06. If you click on it again, the list will be reversed, and show the name of the latest member that recently joined.

To find members who have recently been on, click on Last Visit, at the top on the far right. This will show a list of who's most recently signed on.

If you know the member's name, but they haven't been on in a while, click on Search Members, then type the name.

If you're not exactly sure how the member's name is spelled, click on the letter the name starts with, then Search, and type a few letters. A list of names will show up, and help you find who you're looking for.
