Members list

Is there any particular reason that the members list is on longer available?

The members list is disabled to keep spammers from having easy access to spamming our community members' private message boxes (or worse, spreading viruses).

Hmm, okay. Makes it kind of tough to find members that haven't posted in a while (to send private messages or whatever), but if there was a problem with spammers, I can understand.

One other thing -- in this subforum the Display Options seem to be defaulted to sort by descending thread title, where the other subforums are by last post time. The descending thread title puts them in reverse alphabetical order instead of when the most recent post or reply was made.

At one time anyone could access the membership list as that was the default setting with the software that was being used. Betsy and I changed it so that only registered members could access the membership list. We didn't have any problem with spammers.
