I think there needs to be a more advanced player search available.

My suggestion is to remove the drop down search box, and instead, link "Players" to a page which displays all FunkySnooker players.

From there you can filter the results shown on the page using further options.

You could search for a member alphabetically, by registration date, by last visit, & by post count.

Also instead of having to search for an exact name, it would be nice if for example, I searched "Jack", it showed all players whos usernames contained "Jack".

For further understanding of what I mean, you can check out how my member list works on my own forum here: http://talkgfx.net/memberlist.php


Came up on sn**ker and i reckon it's good idea so i wonder what the poolers think of it

I like the idea of the suggested names appearing when typing in the player search box, maybe it could activate after 3 letters typed.

As for a full list of funky pool members, why would we need this?

Like you have said there are just under 30,000 current active members on here ( http://www.funkypool.com/help#community_stats ).

Searching the player in the search box is much faster than looking through that many members.

If your not sure what the players name is then why are you searching if you don't know exactly what you are looking for , what I mean by this is that having a members page is the same as the current search option (which is faster).

I remember some names from a while back, but yah i dont remember exactly the name wether it was an underscore or 2 underscore's and a 0 instead of an o. So you are saying i shouldnt be searching for a player if idont know the correct name...

Why search for it? If you don't know the correct name, searching from the search box is hard enough let alone looking through 30,000 members. If you did know the name (or even slightly) you were looking for it would take seconds using the search box.

This is where I actually like the idea of the drop down suggestions myself.

Best example..........................

Then names with "jo" at the start of their username would drop down..............

joker86
john
joe
jordan
and more.

And clicking a username would direct you straight to their profile.

Take away the "View" and maybe put "Go" on the right.

I think it is a great idea but I'm not sure if it will take priority right now, I would of thought it is definitely doable though.
