    From Bill Chaney@VERT/BILLS to echicken on Thursday, December 10, 2015 15:53:03
    I've noticed that when ever someone creates a new user record it doesn't show up in the user list unless I delete the guest record.

    I'm not sure that I understand what this means. What's 'the guest record' in this context?

    I'll review the userlist script, but I don't think it's doing much more than showing all users on the system who aren't currently deleted.

    Yeah I noticed that every time someone created a user account it wouldn't show up in the user list unless I deleted the guest user account out of sbbsctrl first. And then I would add a new guest user account and that would fix things. It seems that any time that a new user account is created it shows up after the guest user account in sbbsctrl. It then doesn't show up in the user list unless I delete the guest user account first.

    Oh ... sounds like it's skipping the last user in the database, and you're getting around that by making the guest user the last user, which won't be shown anyway. I'll put in an update for that (and a few other things) probably later today.

    That's great thanks.

    web/root/pages/003_userlist.xjs has been updated, with a change that will probably fix the issue that you were having.

    A couple of other things were changed, mostly improving the sorting of the list.
