Is there anyway we could incorporate some sort of Buddy List. Something that we could use to easier track down people on the site. I don't even know if people would even be interested in this. _________________ If anybody asks about the avatar, I did it for Jess. |

Does it really seem like something that's needed. There are so many search functions on the forum you can find the most obscure one-post-ever member within seconds. And the fact that we have two groups apiece means that finding members is even easier. If I forget your name, let's say the numbers, I can easily access the Nameless Lands members list then check out the magicians, et voila! _________________ One day, I shall come back.

buddy lists are possible with phpbb, but with the current workload, it'll take a while before I can get around to it. |

Well I really do not see too much point to a buddy list as John Layfield already pointed out because first and foremost this is a website with less than a 1,000 members with more than half of those inactivated or inactive. The remaining handful (the ones that actually come and post here) can easily be found through the usergroup or memberlist functions.
This does bring me to another possible request however. The memberlist is certainly an advanced feature where you can easily find a certain member, however could those same sorting functions be used in the usergroups too? Sorting members by join date, soldiers, posts and the like could come in very useful, especially once the nations expand. If the usergroups work in the same way a memberlist does (I'm unfamiliar with PHP) then wouldn't it just be a case of copying and pasting the code with a few minor readjustments?
Another thing thats been on my mind is a list of all the wanderers. We can see the nation members and mercenaries but searching for a specific wanderer can be a nightmare unless you remember his/her name to the letter (or number).
[nitpick]Oh and John you cannot search both the nation usergroup and the regiment usergroup at the same time since they are two separate groups. To find someone within a usergroup you'd have to search through all the members in that group one by one (although its sorted for you alphabetically so if you just know the first few letters it would be a quick search).[/nitpick] |

A list for wanderers would be a much needed addition, they could be put in a seperate *wanderer* usergroup for easy access. That is about the only real way I can see to do it. _________________

Along those same lines, if you could sort out members into activity perhaps. I know when I search through Tinto or wherever to find PF's name to PM PF(haha) that I have to look for him avidly. Maybe, have a sort function that goes based on last date logged in? I don't mean to be demanding, it's mearly a suggestion, o great Sars. |
