When ever I try to search for a user I get a error message. No matter which way I try to do it. Either through the website or through Tapatalk does anyone know what I have to do to fix this? Thank you!!!

It is disabled due to phpBB not being able to handle the usercount of Waze. It is a unified database. According to the forum front page, there are 12,637,733 members. The feature is disabled because the poor phpBB code crashes the web server when trying to look up usernames.

Yes and no. It is likely permanently disabled. The forum code simply cannot handle the user count. It's been disabled for long time. We just go on without it. It's not a needed function.
