So you can look for a member who has 'something' in their screen name, user ID, or email and sort the results. To my knowledge pulldown has never sorted the full member list.

I mean the pull-down "sort by:" This has become meaningless, because it can no longer be switched. It always jumps back to what was set in the Admincenter.

(For whatever reason, when I do it, it reverts to 'Name' even though I know 'Posts' is supposed to be the sort.) Okay - now that I can see it, I can track it down. Edited: And I'm seeing the same issue here and in my 2.5 install which means this is actually a very old problem. You may actually be the first person to notice. OR the problem has to do with Perl being updated and behaving a little differently - but I doubt that. You're right - it's redundant and confusing (And when it confuses ME that's really bad.) All in favor of removing that dropdown... Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

I'll be working on UserSelect issues, removing googiespell (Spellcheck) and the redundant pull down in Memberlist today and tomorrow. Also, with any luck, multi-lingual capable Conversion Utilities - I have versions that are installed from a Mod zip that read from a language file. I'll post the English language changes later today. (Basically, with Convert2x as a Mod, the ConvertLang folders can be created by the script only if they are needed.) If I can get alternative installed languages to be selected by the Conversion utilities, then we can announce to YaBBForum the changes in 2.7 and upload everything to the SVN and ask for more testers.

Part of the problem (according to my observation) - for years YaBB 'managers' have shown the attitude that once a version has been committed to a zip and offered on the YaBB Forum site - that version was written in stone and even getting a newer distribution zip onto the site for download was a chore. (And forget getting it onto the front page of the YaBB section at SourceForge.) There was also the attitude of 'it works on MY server so it ain't broke so why fix it?' For Perl Mongers, this attitude really showed when the guys were working on 3.0 - people made observations concerning long standing bugs and the coders ignored the bug fix requests. They were building a 'new YaBB' on a foundation with cracks. This attitude included any translations. It 'works' so why fix it? So any errors that crept in stayed. What I'm trying to say with this rambling - YaBB is moving to storing everything in the SVN and not even offering zipped 'set in stone' distributions. This means that changes and bug fixes can happen relatively easily. With YaBMod, bug fixes can be installed easily. (We tried it with 2.6 and it worked - but the BoardMod program isn't easy to use - in fact, I need to make a new bug Mod fix for 2.6) SO, don't get stressed over it - a lot of the things you're seeing may have been there since the very first translation and there are always bugs and misspellings to catch. Perfection is an illusion - excellence is the best we can hope for. In the meantime, I apologise for making language changes while you were in the middle of translating. I will have the proposed changes to Admin.lng posted in a bit. Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

No one has written this to me yet, but I have guessed it. Do you know, I wanted to go to YaBB earlier with the translations, because always somewhere nuts was translated. It was very bad, I believe in YaBB 2.4. But "JetLi" has always ignored me. I then wanted to use an "SMF" forum and go away from YaBB. SMF even offers a converter, so you can convert YaBB forums and that works 100%. Mods without end and for all issues, and a SQL database which was promised to the YaBB users years ago, but never finished. In the CVS one can still see this corpse today. Many of the YaBB forums that I once looked at have migrated and that is really a pity. They will not come back. Today there are still three YaBB forums in Germany, which I oversee besides my. If you need excitation for mods, I can send you the link of SMF. The site is in English, you will be amazed. Well, I have been faithful to YaBB for 10 years and this will continue to be the same for the next 10 years (if I still survive). At the age of 63, you know that you have far fewer lives than behind you. Well, if I do not report more, then I am no longer. Then maybe my forum will die if nobody wants to continue. But still I am. if (idea == 'none') {use (manuals) && (Google | | search)}if ($ answer == 0) {post (question)} IP Logged

I think YaBB has a future as a truly multi-lingual forum platform. Just don't feel you have to do all this at once. Don't feel it has to be perfect. We're just doing a lot of work all at once that should have been done by previous coders a long time ago. The pressure I'm feeling - lot of YaBB forums are going to disappear because of coding issues that should have been taken care of a long long time ago. I don't want that to happen. mySQL is coming - and it will be on the 2.7 code. JonB and I have actually discussed this. The old 3.0 wasn't going to work - you can't build a new house on an old foundation with cracks. mySQL has some great features and I've converted nearly all my data driven sites to Perl using mySQL - they're not as portable as they used to be, but the speed is phenomenal.
