Is there any way to alphabatize the Currently Active Users?

I'm guessing it's when we came on line, maybe.

If you are in a thread, left click on the Person's name. You'll get several options including
"View Public Profile" click on that.
You'll get more options including "Forum info which gives total posts and
"Find all posts by .....
and Find all threads started by......
COOL
If you are not in a thread and left click on the Person's name, say where it's listed on the first page as a poster, you'll go directly to the profile."

Now, here's what's new:
If you want to search for a particular post or thread by a known user, go to Search - Advanced search - Search by use Name --
Now you are given two choices, Find Posts or Find Threads - another timesaver.

OK, I have to know ....do you get the same blue text color in Widescreen mode and in PT mode?

I really like the widescreen, but the blue text there is just too much for my eyes.

[Randi]

Hmm, I wonder why!

Uhh, I may not have explained well enough - I mean the titles of the threads. In fact, all the text on the Index page.

Kim, you can organize it any way you want. The headers at the top of the column, User Name, Last Activity (and I forget what else), are clickable, and will arrange the users according to what you pick.

Randi, yes, I also have different text colors -- blue and pink for widescreen, navy for Pet Talk view. I like the colors of the Pet Talk view better, but the widescreen is easier on the eyes. Attached are screen captures showign hte different text colors -- apparently not everyone sees the different colors.

Wow, nothing like a picture to clear things up! I have the same problem and I think I know the answer.
I can remember from my vast two days of HTML class that there is a way to program code so that if you read certain text, it changes color so that you know you've read that before. Could it be that?

Yep, just tested it on a section I never read, and it changed color!!

I thought I might be able to change it back to blue by "mark forums read", but that didn't help.

Yes, if I click on "Currently Active Users", they are listed in alphabetical order. But on the Main Index, they are not and it's easier to quickly glance at that list, rather than go to another page. I know it can be alpabatized, because the mods at another forum exactly like this one did this when the users requested it.

I just miss the alpahatization.

Yeah, I suspect that too, though my name always stays at the front of the list. I just like browsing it real quick if I'm looking for someone and it was easier when it listed users alphabetically.
