Create a link that will randomly lead to a members profile

[Boy_Wonder]

Not sure if this is at all possible but what I'd like is for the option for me to put

<div id="random-member-link"></div> and it appends a link that has a text "visit a random members profile" 

That basically does what it says on the tin. Has an array of all members names and links and loops through them to select one at random. 

It's an attempt to encourage members to plot more with other members.

What a neat idea! I could see that definitely helping with member connections!

Happy Christmas guys.

I did write it so that you could exclude members instead, but yeah, not a great way to do that if the list gets long, and also has a chance of infinite looping. Hopefully that will keep you going for now, maybe it could be modified to do groups only.

Peter,

I looked through the code, and maybe I'm missing it, but what would happen if it picked an ID number of a deleted account?

Ah, okay. Thanks Peter. Looks like it's only adding in current members in the first place, so deleted accounts won't be in the random list. Sorry - I had missed that. Have a Merry Christmas!
