Platinum Member Profiles

This forum displays members in random order, but the problem is that each page (2, 3, etc) is also in random order. It has taken me 10-15 page refreshes to find the member I was looking for.

Random display was OK when we only had 1 page of members, now that there is more then 1 page, random display is a bad idea.

A better way to find a particular member's profile is to SEARCH "By User Name" AND choosing "Platinum Member Profiles" in the forum option at the bottom left. You may also want to select "Search titles only" for better results.

You're missing the point...if I want to browse this forum, page 2 could have the same listings as page one did because of the random display. As it sits now, it's pointless to browse. I thought the value of having this forum was to spotlight names or sites you had for sale or tell everyone about you. I use to like reviewing the new members info as they joined. I have not bothered to browse the Platinum Member Profiles forum in months.

I agree, it's a haphazard method. I don't go there to look at new posts, because it's like playing the slots. You have to keep hitting refresh to find who you want to see.
