| I recently wanted to look up a store that I had purchased from in the past, just
for research purposes. I couldn't find the store in the alphabetical store
list looking under the name I remember for it. I wasn't sure if the store
was just closed at the moment or the Bricklinker had changed the store name.
It had been a couple of years since I last purchased from this store, so it was
possible that the store had been renamed.
I decided to try looking up the Bricklinker who managed the store instead. When
I went to the member list, I found to my dismay that there is no way to only
display members who's BL username name begins with certain letters. The Bricklinker
I was looking for uses a name that starts with the letter "P". After scrolling
through over 400 pages, the list was still full of names that start with the
letter "A"
We need a better way to browse members. Please enable alphabetical searches with
the ability to select specific letters to browse within.

How do I access that page from Bricklink's homepage? I've tried clicking
on the "Members" link itself and on each of the other links under the "Members"
section of the "Community" drop down. None of them bring up that page your linked
to, so I see no way to pull it up from the BL homepage.

I found the access link for it with in my profile. However just clicking on the
Members link in the drop down menu on the home page just brings up a page where
the only sorting options are by sign up dates, Feedback Rating, and Username.
The alphabetical member list is not accessible from the home page as far as I
can see. There should be a link to access it from the BL homepage so anyone who
isn't logged in can reach it.

Can't you tell me where in the main "Community" drop down is the list option?
All I see is "Members". The "Members" option itself has no visible way to only
browse members who's name starts with a specific letter. This is under Internet
Explorer 11, maybe it is different for different browsers.

When I sort by username it looks good in alphabetical order.
Assuming you search for a US seller, P starts at page 500
