The main member list has been disabled, but don't worry, to see the list of members who are active, just visit the homepage and you can see the list of members who are on the site (and who are not invisible) or who visited today (and are not invisible).
The invisible setting allows you to remain off those lists and appear as "offline" should you so desire and it can be found inside your User Control Panel (UserCP).

Any way we can get the members list in the drop-down? I utilize it frequently to find people's profiles.....and due to the coding on the site, it's impossible to just type in the username (on another vBulletin site I'm on, it's just _____name of site____/directory/username) but here it's all jacked up :( I'd like to be able to find profiles easily without having to track down individual posts from that user first (if at all possible).

It was disabled to ease queries on the database, it will make the site a bit faster. It also now puts the focus more so on the active members from each day, who are listed on the homepage.
@LilRaverBoy, to find a profile page, just type this in your address bar:
http://www.bananas.org/member-lilraverboi.htmlor
http://www.bananas.org/member-anynamehere.htmlbasically all you need to do is put your cursor in your address bar (Alt+D) and start typing "bananas member" and it will fill the address bar with your recently viewed member profile urls. Then use your down arrow to get one selected (and actually filled entirely in the address bar). Then highlight the user name (double click in the middle of the name is a shortcut to highlight it) and change it to whatever other name, and hit enter to view it. I do it all the time and it's actually faster than pulling it up from the alphabet from the old member list. I can pull up any account profile in seconds using this method and its faster than otherwise, and easier on the database. As we grow its important to make small adjustments to make the site run more efficiently. It's all about finding the best balance with features and speed etc.

One other thing that was removed recently was previously when you viewed the homepage list of people who visited each day, when you put your cursor over any name, a small bubble would appear and in it were some stats about that member. Well if you moved your cursor around and pointed at all the usernames really quickly, it made hundreds or thousands of queries on the database just in those short few seconds it took to do that motion with your cursor.

So these changes, while they might take some getting used to, should make your experience on the site better in other regards.
