I’ve been Searching and cannot hit the right combination of words. AND I think it’d be useful to have a current list. If this exists, I can’t find it so please, a Moderator, guide me. I need to send a note to a Mod in a Forum. Since the Moderator’s names are no longer listed at the bottom of the thread page, I have no clue who to write it to. Is there a current list? If not, can we post one at the top of every Forum with a sticky? Many thanks, Toons. ---

View Forum Leaders. It’s at the bottom of the first page. It takes forever to load, but you get easy access to their mail/PM. ---

> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > Since the Moderator’s names are no longer listed at the bottom of the thread page They are still listed, but that list only shows up on the old skin. It doesn’t show up on the new mobile skin. I don’t know if they plan on fixing that any time soon. Anyway, as **Morgenstern** said, you can get to it by going to the main straight dope page, here: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php) Then scroll down near the bottom and click on View Forum Leaders (which is there on both the mobile skin and the old skin). Then wait. And wait. And wait some more. Sometimes it does take a while to load. That takes you to this page, which has all of the moderators listed, along with the forums that they moderate: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showgroups.php](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showgroups.php) ---

It also took forever on my end. WAY longer than any other SDMB page. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk ---

> [@Leo\_Bloom](#): > > Yeah, I was wondering about that. Thought it was just me. What gives? No idea. I don’t know how the programmers of vBulletin chose to implement that particular page but it doesn’t seem to me that it should be that difficult of a thing to look up in the database. Maybe it does some kind of convoluted search due to the way they store the data? I dunno. We don’t have access to the source code so I’m just guessing. Either that or they contracted the sloth from Zootopia to look up the data every time the page loads. ---

Holy cow, Gaudere is still a mod? I don’t think I’ve seen her here in years. ---

Her last activity (as of this post) was 3/20/18. She is the mod who strikes by night! ---
