There has to be a better way...

Post by mardaddy601 »

...to search through the Memberlist.

I just finished a trade with a guy who contacted me through email only, no PM's, so I do not know his B-town SN. The trade went good and I want to give him a great reference. Since his email is "grotmaster@____, I thought I'd check the memberlist for "grotmaster."

After going through 46 pages clicking "next page" each time - that SN is not in there, BUT - Should we not have an option to type in a name to check? Or plugging in the page we want to go to instead of going through up to 63 pages of SN's? {Being smart with the accending or decending option will cut a seach about in half from 126 pages}

It would help narrow down searches. I even tried "sort by email," and it still lists only the Btown SN's without giving a visible on the "actual" email addy's (for our own protection from spammers I'm sure.)

No major deal, I'll just have to email him to ask his Btown name, but what a waste of time here on the boards scrolling to the bottom of the page to hit "next page" 46 times.
None of these things are VITAL, this is a HOBBY. A hobby we enjoy, but still, a HOBBY.

Lower rating ships or pays 1st, myself included. Used to be more flexible; but was burned in recent months by a few newbies. If 200+ feedback w/no negs and 10+ years member is not enough to be trusted, well, like I said - none of this is VITAL.

I believe Grotmaster is Dan Benavidez. Look for him that way, or search for one of his posts, he is pretty active.
Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

Already posted the reference before I got back to read this...

Whodathunk to try his REAL name as his Btown SN????

You can also use the search engine and just ask for "Grotmaster", I've had to do a similar thing once or twice. Examine his posts etc and find him that way.
