My suggestion is that the user name search function here --> http://forums.d2jsp.org/tools.php?a=2 should be changed to be less specific.

Often times I remember part of a users name but not all of it. In order to use the user search, you are required to know the entire name correctly. If for, example, you wanted to search my profile, you would be required to know my full name fatal_aquaintnc.

But lets say you only remember my name included the word Fatal, or you weren't quite sure how I spelled the 2nd part. With my suggestion you could type "Fatal" into the user search, and you would be provided with a list of names similar to the search.

ex. typing "Fatal" would yield

Fatal
iFatal
Fatal_Aquaintnc

so on so forth...

then you could choose the correct profile that you were looking for.

thanks for reading

You could have just pm to a staff member to bump it once, so it comes "active" and you can keep the original topic.

Yes from me tho.
