This might be a bit nit-picky, but when I receive an E-mail from these forums, it says "New reply to (topic Name)" as opposed to "(username) has replied to (topic name)" that it used to say before. Not sure if you really want to fix that, it's your call. Anyway, how's the fix for viewing the banned members' profiles coming?

It says i'm in the senior member group, but i'm a junior member. Is this a bug of some sort?

No, group is based on time and title is based on postcount

Apparently, new members can now send personal messages when they haven't been here for ten days yet, but rather made ten posts.

I don't think that's bad.

I'm not saying I have anything against it, I'm just notifying andwhy. What's really bad though, is that I still can't view banned members' profiles.

There is no "view banned users" setting, but I can remove the banned flag and apply the old banned user group to users individually.

Give me a short list of perma-banned members you absolutely cannot live without viewing and I will make those viewable. Keep the list short though, I'm not going to modify 50-odd user accounts one at a time.

No email subject settings, sorry.

God no, why would you want to see her profile? She was just a spammy member with bad spelling and nothing to contribute.
I do agree with the email subject change, it's easier when you can skim through the subjects to see who posted what. "New user" is too generic.

1. windsofwinds
I think that's a pretty good list.
Fine, It's done. At least I think so.. I can't test it since all banned members show up for admins and mods.

God no, why would you want to see her profile? She was just a spammy member with bad spelling and nothing to contribute.
See below.

Back on topic to the glitch still present, please? I still can't view Perma-banned members' profiles.
What is with your obsession with the banned? This isn't a high priority fix, but I guess it does need to be fixed.
Because we all need to read the history of windsofwinds over and over again.

(Seriously, we do)
Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason any of us will ever have.
Which means this is a very high-priority fix.

OKay, here's my list:

1) Fire1052
2) windsofwinds
3) kinnyplz
4) kinny
5) Lord Shadow
6) royaltyler
7) TheMimigaZak
8) Merlinoboy
9) Optipard.

If I could view all those profiles at my leisure, then I will be thankful. Yes, I know the last one is a spambot, but his persistence intrigues me. In my defense, I actually have a fairly decent reason for wanting to view these profiles that you might eventually figure out if you lurk the general discussion forum enough.

Done. Except for royaltyler who wasn't banned. Though I sincerely hope that none of those were temp bans because as I said before this should only be used for perma-banned members otherwise their ban will become a great deal less temporary.

that you might eventually figure out if you lurk the general discussion forum enough.
Ouch.

I think that you should be able to see your topic count near your post count.

Then I looked at windsofwinds for the first time, and ROFLMAO. Seriously that was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! Then I looked at all the other profiles, and thank you so much andwhy. I think i'm going to view windsofwinds every day for the rest of my life.

Having a topic count is just as useless as the post count, in my opinion.
Also rather than spamming the post button to make the post count up, some people could feel the need to spam the new thread button as well. Hopefully everyone knows that post count is meaningless and tells nothing about the member apart from the amount of posts he/she/it has made.
Also making a quick count by glancing at "View X's Content" is probably as difficult as looking at a number with a topic count.

I guess your right, sometimes I can be a little lazy though.

But to me the post count is helpful as I can see how long the person has been on this forums, and how active they are in that period.
