Every time I click on the members list thing at the Forums page to see top members, it just shows an empty list, looks like a bug. Just letting you know.

Yep. The staff member that maintains the servers is well aware of the issue as I have mentioned it to him (I "work" with him as a moderator on the PCWorld forums). There is some problem with it. Since we are getting closer and closer to using new forum software, he turned that function off rather than try to fix the problem. Hopefully, the new software will be up and running soon.

So was there an update which caused this problem?
And what exactly will the new software be like?

Not that I am aware of...it is just the forum software having a "brain cramp"...something it does quite frequently (if you go to the PCWorld forums, the formatting and links in posts is all screwed up...unless it was fixed since earlier). They are VERY eager to move to new forum software as this one has kind of been a pain from what I understand. The People lists frequently get hosed. The forum software "eats" some posts every once and while (i.e. the posts appear blank...but it is just a forum error). The links and formatting gets hosed every once and while.

I do not know yet. We will likely be testing it soon. I know the desire is to get it up and running fully as soon as possible.
