Members List

How come the Members List is not working ? Why is it disabled ?? Why do so many of our members have their birfday's on November 30th ???

Birfday
That's one of the better typo's I've seen in awhile. (it was a typo right? )
I believe that Nov. 30 is the default date if no birthday is entered.
Have no idea why the 'Members List' is disabled. Might have something to do with spam, just a guess.

No that is not a typo, nomaxim. I get into the "hood" a lot and I need to be able to speak ebonics, with the local residents.

Speaking of members... Is there any way to get to a member's profile page where it lists their reviews for stores while in the Forum? A couple of times, I've read posts from users refer to a review for a store and am curious to see what other reviews they've posted. In the forum you can tell it show you all forum posts they've written, but there is no way that I can find to see what reviews they've written.

I have added the suggested option. Click an username, click view public profile, then there is a link to access a member's reviews.

Correct. The members list could potentially be exploited by a script-based spam attack depending upon how it is configured. It is a known problem and risk associated with the feature.

Spammers tend to register fake accounts like 1111Stuff, AAAAAlfred so that their names appear in page 1 of the members list along with spam URL's like porn sites etc., all of which becomes indexed in google. Unless it is policed regularly it gets abused.

Thank you Master Admin RR. If this impedes spammers , so much the better.
