How to show all users on the site in a grid view ?
In my site I have displayed the list but if there are thousand users then to find particular user by name or its profile picture you need to scroll the site for long time.
So is there any module available which will display the users with their profile picture and other details ?
here is a link of my site :

Here is example of my site user list

Views (http://drupal.org/project/views) will allow you to list users in a grid.

I think the OP is trying to display multiple users per row:

user user user
user user user
user user

... in which case this is a CSS issue.

div.whatever { width: 140px; display: inline; }

etc

Sure, but views already comes with this function and is needed to list the users anyway. So I'd use the built-in grid style. No custom css necessary.

First, Thank you very much @spovlot for suggesting views to do the task, and I managed to create grid of users with some of the fields but how to enable view ?
I can see only four options and that are --> 1.Edit 2.Export 3. Clone 4. Delete
there is no option like Enable.
And also How to add taxonomies in that view ?
What I want in Grid View is :
User Picture (Displayed)
User Name (Displayed)
User Field
Field1 ( Taxonomy term , Coming as a plain text )
Field2 ( Taxonomy term , Coming as a plain text )

For this view I have chosen view type "User" (May be that is why I cannot use Taxonomy term)
but when I use view Type "Term" then I cannot use user picture and other user field.
Please suggest me solution.
I am using Drupal6.

You need to add a "Display" such as Page or Block. You will see this on the left side of the Views edit page.

If you add a Page, you will have to set the Path in page settings to something like "users-grid".

Users don't have taxonomy terms in D6. Are you using some module for this?

Hello sir, thank you very much for your reply now I can show the list.
I am using Profile Profile Taxonomy for users.
Now as I have many taxonomy terms I have created the page with list of taxonomy and whenever you click on any taxonomy term It will show the list of all users who have selected this taxonomy term at the time of registration.
Again the problem is same , It shows the list . And I want to display it as a grid.
please suggest the solution

You could create another view to list the taxonomy terms.

There are some other options that you might be interested in. In your original user grid view, you could use Arguments and provide a default list to provide a summary based on the Profile: Term field you setup. This would provide a list or drop down with a count.

When I created the view with type "User", I have access to "Profile: " fields for the taxonomy term. Do you have this?

Hi spovlot,

Apology for delay in response.
When I create view with "User" type , I can access "Profile: " fields but I cannot use taxonomy terms.
And also I would like to know how to update drupal version ?
Like right now I have drupal 6 and I want to move on with Drupal 7.14
But only thing I can see it, as I have to download new version and by extracting it on my server manually, again I have to create same website, which does not seem feasible.
But if it is not possible to update fron D6 to D7, then How to upgrade from 7.12 to 7.14 ?
I can see a security update but don't know how to upgrade without harming my website.
Is there anyway to update it automatically without removing old version and all its content ?

Since you are using Profile Taxonomy, the taxonomy term field should be under the Profile in Views. Do you want to continue working on this issue?

In regards to upgrade, I suggest opening up a new issue. You can find documentation on upgrades at http://drupal.org/upgrade .

Thank you spovlot for helping me to solve my issues.
Now I don't want to continue this issue.
If I get any doubt I will raise new issue.

Sorry. I am unfamiliar with how to resolve that problem.
