When searching for junior members from the Community Directory Search, the results only show people who have 0 posts. The moment a junior member makes at least one post, they don't show up anymore. Is there a way to fix this?

check your setting in the control panel.
additional settings>User Titles
Find the part that says "Minimum Number of Messages For Full Member Status:"

Hi Elena,

Were you able to find the solution?

[QUOTE]Find the part that says "Minimum Number of Messages For Full Member Status:" [/QUOTE]I found it. Yay! But now what?

This is what it looks like:

First is member status other than Adm or moderator is just that, a status that is awarded to the member for the number of posts on the board. According to the screen you pasted. You only have Cub Reporter, Meriwether,Kerth,Pulitzer. Because your setting for maximum number of messages for full membership is 50. Everyone should be a Cub reporter when they register until they make 50 posts. Then they are promoted to Meriwether. When they make 100 posts they become Kerth.
If a member is promoted from Cub Reporter to Meriwether with one post after you have changed your settings for promotions you may need to open a support ticket. Remember that existing member status levels will not be demoted. So the default was 31. You have changed it to 50. If a member was over 31 posts before you changed the setting they will appear as a Meriwether.

Hey!

The promotions from one status to the next one work fine. Only people how have posted more than 50 times have the "Meriwether" status.
My problem is that if from the Community Directory Search you leave blank the "Displayed Name" and "Keyword" fields and you only choose "Cub Reporter" in the "Member Status" field and then hit the "Search Members" button, the results only show "Cub Reporter" members who have 0 posts.

Someone who has posted 5 times (for example) doesn't show up in the search results.

This is what I'm trying to find a solution for.

I'm seeing the same behavior on my board (6.5.0, no hacks). All of the other member level searches seem to work fine, but if you do a search on "New member" (0-9 posts on my board), it only returns those with 0 posts (60 of them). I counted the "New Members" (0-9 posts) and there are 150 of them.

Looks like one of them creepy crawly insect type things. (a bug)
