Hey there, so here is my next question.

When i open the send a pm page, the Members List is automatically filtered by the letter 'a'. Is it possible to have the page load up by default to 'all' instead?

Its just that it took me a while to work out how to mail any user I wanted, and i dread to think how much an end user will be bothered to click around to get it working.

Any ideas? Thanks

no, its not currently possible without core code hacks… while not desirable, its even worse if you have a large database to load them all up. For some of our users with 70k users, it took 5 minutes to load them all up. So we had to limit the number in some way.

That said, its on our list for 4.1 to improve the interface which might include showing all users if there are less than some number. we havent actually implemented it yet.

aha, i see, well that makes sense.

Perhaps just something to make it more obvious that the letter a is being searched for would work, just by placing an a in the search field and having the Find button highlighted in comparison to the All button.

Thanks again for the lightning fast response.

hopefully, we will have the best of both worlds with 4.1
