Title: Re: Members Search Post by: Ginger on March 28, 2007, 04:44:18 PM Anyone know where this facility has gone off the forum? It's been removed by Admin Trace. Title: Re: Members Search Post by: TightEnd on March 28, 2007, 05:13:15 PM and the reason for that is threefold
a) the privacy of those members displaying email addresses from unwanted spam b) their protection in the light of episodes of bulk spamming eg "foxyamy" c) protection of blonde's database from unauthorised corporate use by competitors/third parties Title: Re: Members Search Post by: Trace on March 28, 2007, 06:59:07 PM and the reason for that is threefold a) the privacy of those members displaying email addresses from unwanted spam b) their protection in the light of episodes of bulk spamming eg "foxyamy" c) protection of blonde's database from unauthorised corporate use by competitors/third parties Nice move then!

and, by the by, we recommend email addresses are hidden in profiles anyway Title: Re: Members Search Post by: AdamM on March 29, 2007, 08:20:01 PM does make it hard for us to find our fellow blondes though
Title: Re: Members Search Post by: Poppet7 on March 29, 2007, 08:32:15 PM does make it hard for us to find our fellow blondes though Innit. Title: Re: Members Search Post by: Ironside on March 29, 2007, 09:10:54 PM add them to your buddies list if you send them pms often
but you can click on tehre name in a post if they aint a buddie Title: Re: Members Search Post by: tikay on March 30, 2007, 01:51:07 AM does make it hard for us to find our fellow blondes though Agreed, but we needed to do something, this was the lesser of two evils. Title: Re: Members Search Post by: Rod Paradise on March 30, 2007, 03:23:38 PM does make it hard for us to find our fellow blondes though If you're sending someone a PM, when you start typing their name in the address field - the system will attempt to select who you are trying to find. So, in effect you can search for their username in that. Title: Re: Members Search Post by: Bongo on March 30, 2007, 03:27:23 PM There is a "find members" feature next to the "to" field that can be used to find a member to pm.
