This AddOn replaces the file memberlist.php and shows this list in a better interface and adds more features in the listing (mostly in the PRO version). Please note, that as I said before, there is a replacement of the original memberlist.php, so in case that you want to revert back, you must re-upload this file from your vB distribution. Also after any vB upgrade you need to re-upload my memberlist.php (just re-upload, no re-importing the xml file).

4.- Copyright
This mod is an upgrade of Mary's MemberIndex for which I've got the rights. Copyright removal is phohibited (PRO version does not has copyright link).
Great Mod! Would love to be able to search by custom profile fields as with the original member list.. But definitely a great upgrade from the stock list.
My only small concern is that this mod is very heavy on queries. I have 32 members per page and it's 138 queries.
Other than that it's great.
When I'll have some free time I'll change the way that queries work. This in no way means that the queries that Mary used are wrong. I'm just avoiding to use JOIN in queries, a command that can make a single query to be 5 or more. I've my own technique on this.
WOW... Really nice work!!
Maybe you share the code changes you made?
Wouldn't really be practical, my site's styles are already heavily customised.

This is with the Lite version, using the alternative file Chris provided for me a little higher up (this removes the "landing" page and allows you to go straight to the full memberlist without a usergroup selector bar).
Then it's mainly some template edits to get the look and feel I wanted. I also added some code to the file to do such things as pulling my custom user fields through that power the username foreground and background colours and also the vBStatus text, altering the format of the date, adding times, and a few fairly minor tweaks.
Redesigned the advanced search box to match the normal vB4 dropdown menus, and created a dropdown pre-populated with common filters (this replicates the ability to click the column headers to change the sort order that was present on the old memberlist).
All in all I am pretty pleased with the result, the memberlist is a much neglected area of vB.
Once Chris sorts the queries out this will be very good, at the moment a *really* busy site would get hit with the queries this creates.
