That is user setting. Option you have in group settings is just default for user. But, user may change it. And if you change it in group it does not affect existing members, only new ones.

Although wrongly-named. An "action" is something that "acts on" the member, as do all the other functions in that dropdown. I'm probably going to lose this one but if so, it will grate on me ... --

Dano, I'd be fine with that. I thought of suggesting it, but I couldn't think of a good answer for what it should do if you checked multiple members rows. The obvious answer is to search them all

I would voice a mild objection to calling this an “action” because nothing is done TO the member. You’re just looking up information (all posts) about the member. But this is just a picky

As the one who initially asked this, I will explain that I came to this 'dead end' by first finding the member's email address in the Members list. That gave me a listing of the email address with no

The "past members" list (which is available only to premium groups, in case anyone reading this doesn't see theirs), as it currently exists, is not really a list of past members. It is really a list

Well, the posterid is displayed every time you search on all the member's posts (as I'm sure you know), and since it's the only search criterion that's guaranteed to be unique to the member's posts, I

Mark, that's fascinating, because the only reason I brought up this issue was that I noticed that that date displayed WAS the date of banning, not the date the member joined (even before a half an

J, I'd probably like that better than adding clutter to the email column. At least it would be a different number in each row. But from a UI design standpoint Mark should likely be moving towards

Up until about half an hour ago, when you took someone who was a member of your group and then banned them, we didn't reset the date field that we use for the 'Banned' column. So that date will still

Mark, Clutter to me, as I don't find the click to open the subscription page to be that obscure or onerous for a function that I really don't think is or would be so frequently used as to merit

If there's room, I think a separate "posterid" column would be great. But no strong feelings about this one way or the other about where it should go, as long as it's in the member list. --

Mark, great, that's what I would have thought. But in that case I still don't understand which date you said would be "incorrect." ? -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the

If someone was never a group member in the first place, and you banned them by entering their email address in the Ban text field, the Banned date will be correct, because we created a new

Nobody cares much, but if used in the member display, (a) you would not HAVE to look it up, and (b) you COULD make note of it for any given member if you wanted to. For example, I've listed the

Yes! That's in essence what I was suggesting before, by suggesting adding a clickable link to the posterid in the member list. I think using the posterid for that field/link might be the most

Mark, this all sounds great but I'm confused about the above. In fact, I'm so confused that I'm having trouble even formulating a question. Let me try a couple of them: (1) What happens if a

I think this would be solved if I added a link to view all posts by a member in each line of the member display (the code is the same for searching or viewing all members). Would this additional link

Dano, As explained in GMF, the list of postings by that member is only one step away once you've opened the member's subscription page. Or two clicks if you go by way of the member's

Hi All, I've made the following changes: - For restricted groups, when viewing members, the column is now labelled Applied - When banning someone that was already a member, we did not reset the
