how come

[benjamin]

banned members don't show up on the members list?

i think it'd be a good idea to show them.. so like when you're searching for a name change, it's annoying when you wait so long and then find out the username you want is banned, but when you searched it looked like it was free.

yea just an idea.

i was woundering the same thing when my old account was banned

When you search, if the account name is free, it will say something like: "Invalid user ID" or something. That tells you that it is free. If it doesn't, and even if it hasn't made any posts but does not say the Invalid user notice it means that it is not free. Even if it has not made any posts.

when you search for a name and its unregistered or banned ,it says 'No search results'

or if you search say 'Wicked' and someone ahs the name 'Wicked4' it comes up with that

[the wombats]

i use the advanced search thing and see if it has any posts.

That is key words Search. :P
Go to advanced search. :)

[benjamin]

no it isn't.. it's 'search members'

I would agree it would be easier, however it will clog up the Members List with people who can't even use the forum.
If a seperate list could be made under the Member List page saying "View Banned Users" that would be better, but I dunno how it would be made.

yeah, and then we could check both things if you get me.

Right bar - type in the name that you want. If it goes: Invalid User specified etc. - This means that you can have that name that you typed in.
If the search is successful it shows their posts/threads. If the user is valid but hasn't made any posts then at the top of the search page it says: Search: Posts Made By: ____ - Click the name and you will see that the user has been banned.

Not really, its actually easier than having to go there. You click Search on the Orange bar underneath PMs and all that, then go to advanced search (do this from forum index). Then in the right bar type in the name you want. After the search it says "Posts By ____" or "Invalid User Specified". Done in about 10 seconds =]

I personaly just use ?username=x on the profile.php

eg)
