Hey guys,
here is a new idea for this site!!!
i think there should be a link you can click to find users, like a user search page
there is one search page, but it is very complicated, and you have to click on other links to get to it
gillian, you should have a link to click on the forum's home page so we can search for users in alphabetical order, or by the number of posts
it will be very helpful for people who want to find other users, or see who are the top posters
just a suggestion for you gilly you can have a rankings page where it can show the 50 top poster
say yes in your reply if you would want that

There was a member list but now its limited-access because I don't trust the search function.

Create a PHP filter by using the explode() function to split the supplied string into an array, and so they you can filter through the array for unavailable characters in a user name (Such as a space) or you could find an equivalent for string.indexAt(BannedString) (That is AS2 & 3, I don't know the function name for it in PHP).

Because sometimes hackers target the search button as they can input commands that can alter the database.

It's only if a filter is not applied.
