Hey folks,

it is me again with a rather strange issue. Random members are not showing up in the memberlist, there is absolutely no logic why. If you want to reproduce it, just look at the memberlist here: https://spots-on.eu/memberlist.php

Please notice, that these profiles (for example) are not showing up there:

https://spots-on.eu/member.php?action=profile&uid=2
https://spots-on.eu/member.php?action=profile&uid=4
https://spots-on.eu/member.php?action=profile&uid=7

This is a fresh 1.8.21 installation.

Thanks and regards!

Check missing user's group setting

ACP > Users & Groups > Groups > Options > Edit Group > General Options > Yes, show users of this group on the member list

That did the trick, thank you. The only issue was, that these users had a secondary group membership without the option ticked you mentioned. I thought it should be alright if only the primary group had this option enabled.

For the member list:

This showmemberlist permission for a user with additional group(s) is evaluated as 'off', meaning not displaying on the member list, if any of this user's group has this permission set to 0 ('off', unchecked).

A simpler explanation, the member list will not retrieve and display any user assigned with any one of the group that has this permission set to 0 ('off', unchecked).

But for a single user's permission fetched by $mybb->usergroup['showmemberlist'], the value is interpreted in a contrary way. This should be a bug, but not lead to any problem yet. None other than the member list uses this permission.
