[Natch]

which will give you names like Natch. If you want names exactly matching Natch, you'd just need to hack memberlist.php slightly:

above

if ($ausername)
{
$condition .= " AND username LIKE '%" . addslashes_like(htmlspecialchars_uni($ausername)) . "%' ";
}

add

if ($myusername)
{
$condition .= " AND username = '" . "htmlspecialchars_uni($myusername)" . "' ";
}

and then change the link above to use myusername=Natch instead of ausername=Natch (UNTESTED)

Also: You've probably noticed that in the admin panel if you do a user search and there is only one result it goes right to that user. It shouldn't be too hard to get that to happen in memberlist.php too.

I do like your idea Matt: nice lateral thinking ... this other method creates a new file, instead of modding a vB file: sometimes a hack-less method is preferable...
