Summary	0002377: Index user names in manage user page by letters
Description	OLD Summary: Add [prev] and [next] in Manage Users Rather than listing all users that are registered in the system, list N users and use prev/next to navigate. This is important for installations where there is a lot of users (like this one!).
Additional Information	When clicking Manage, the browser has to load 1.2MB to list all users on the one page. Which is pretty slow.
Tags	No tags attached.

jfitzell 2003-03-05 02:59 reporter ~0003920	yes, the alphabetic option is much better... hitting next N times to get to the last name you want would be awful. My concern, as with sorting, is maintaining the state. Propagating links with parameters can get ugly and we don't want to keep adding cookies for this stuff... But something certainly needs to be done.

vboctor 2003-07-27 16:15 manager ~0004452	Implemented in CVS. Will be available in 0.18.0a5. The implemented solution is that there is a page for each letter. The user can click on the letter he/she wants to see. There is also an 'ALL' link which shows all names as per the old implementation. By default, the user names starting with an 'A' are listed.
