Is there yet a way to search member/user list and sort by State? The old board was useful for this feature.
Otherwise I am starting to like the new format.

I doubt it. The only way it would be possible is if city and state were separated in our bios. As it is, the most that could happen is maybe Robert could alter the User List page to include the user bio location field in one of the columns, but that wouldn't sort based on state alone. It would sort based on whatever people listed in their location in their bio pages. So even though I'm in Montana, it would sort on "East Helena, MT" and put me in the E's alphabetically.

The only other possible solution is that there might be a plug-in out there for UBB that would allow the bio pages and User List to be customized. Even if such a plug-in was available, everyone would have to go back to their bios and re-enter their state in a separate field.

That's a bit of technobabble. Clear as mud?

You're right FJ....I didn't think this thru.
The old site had a separate field for State abbreviations.
Oh well just have tostart making a list off the posts w/bio's.

That's because it was created from scratch by our imperious leader, the all-powerful, all-knowing Robert, Wizard of BAs.
