[App_rpt-users] Filter in active node list

Tue Jun 18 03:17:17 UTC 2019

Tim you are correct in that it would work if in fact all the links would 
send people first to <https://web-tpa.allstarlink.org/nodelist/>

You might do a Google search for "allstar nodes" or "allstarlink nodes" 
just as if you are unfamiliar with Allstar. Choose a link. You will note 
that the TPA link if shown is at/near the bottom of the list and most 
likely any searcher will follow one of the links that point to 
<http://stats.allstarlink.org/> since the TPA link description says...

---------------------------------------------------
AllStar Link | Node List - AllStarLink.org
https://web-tpa.allstarlink.org/nodelist/
Repeater Controller with VoIP linking for Ham Radio.
----------------------------------------------------

Hmmm Not looking for Repeater controller info... so I'd select another.

Once there imagine yourself being new to Allstar. How from the stats 
page would you locate nodes in Meridian Idaho without any prior 
knowledge of callsigns or node numbers at that location. 
Scrolling/Searching the entire list is the only option from that link 
unless you already know the information you are seeking.

No doubt this isn't a make or break issue and I will let it die.
My suggestion was merely an attempt to point out a way to make Allstar a 
bit more user friendly. Your "Filter" like on the nodelist page would 
provide that function.
