Who's Online - Not Alphabetized

Dyre Straits · Sep 24, 2006, 08:26 PM

I could swear that the previous version put this list in alphabetical order except for putting the user himself at the beginning. It made it a lot easier to see if the person you were looking for was online or not.

Is there a reason it's no longer listed in order?

I'm referring to the list of Current Users Online that shows up at the bottom of the page.

It was covered in one of the update threads, but basically it's simply one measure to reduce server load, it takes more processing time to order the users, than to simply put them in the order they're retrieved, when there's hundreds if not thousands of people on the board it all adds up.

Thanks
