Not that I use it much, but my 'Member' bar has disappeared.  Does anyone else have the problem?  Does anyone know why this happened?  I can live with it gone, but I'm curious.

It's gone for me too.  What I suspect is that MV is looking for more room to put up ads.  First it's eCigs, next it's hard liquor and later he'll make the final transition to Silk Bellgab.   

MV/Liberace!

a lot of people will disagree, and i get it, but reason 1 is that i view the link as a waste of space in the main menu.  reason 2 is that i don't really think it's necessary anyone be able to view the usernames of every registered user on the forum.  no other modern social networking/community platforms provide that information, so i don't see why bellgab should.

What? Since when has BG followed the herd?

Shear MV.

Just my two cents, but I like the members option especially if I want to PM someone who hasn't posted in a while and I'm not sure of the spelling.

Plus sometimes it's fun to browse through the comical names of yore.

Agreed.  This isn't facebook, this is bellgab.  I like the userlist.  I could care less about it showing our login info.

As a side note, I saw that the stats aren't visible anymore either.  That kind of sucks.  I enjoyed seeing who used the site the most, which threads were the top, etc.   Did you just move them somewhere else?

I need to find "I'm confused" to steal his avatar for one of my posts... And the memberlist is gone.  I need it back, please.

Crush MV!

***FWIW, I really would like to see it back.  There are times when I wonder if somebody like Camazotoz has posted recently or want to look for posts from a member who I really enjoy, but posts rarely... It is a nice option.***

I still have mine for some reason.  But fwiw I've noticed that some of the top 10 poster counts are off.  Probably some db issue after archiving or system update/crash.  Edit: Maybe it has to do with one's online status setting.

WooHoo!  My memberlist is back.   :)

Thanks MV!

Thanks, MV.  My Members and Notify are back.  I appreciate it.

You could say that, for a while, the top bar was dismembered.
