shagpuss Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Slaughter/Pete a matter of small significance, but the join date in my profile says 19th March '04, I know for sure I Joined either shortly before or after Troll did, if you check all my posts my first one was on 16th December '03. Can this be changed to that date at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 We'll look into it, but I think it will have to wait until Pete gets back from vacation. During the board merge, when you were a member of more than one of the boards, things probably got a bit out of hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomb Bloke Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 We can't edit the join date of a user via the forum software. To do it, someone would need to manually open up the database files, hunt down which bit is the join date, and change that. Which could be simple, could be not, but either way would be time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagpuss Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well when you put it like that.. Why is it when things get updated, the smallest thing becomes a major hassle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 If I could only get FTP access to the site I'd be happy to mess around with all the files... But the login Pete gave me is only that, it gives me access to nothing. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well actually you'd need database access. Then I'd need to convert your actual join date into the number of seconds past midninght a 0'oclock in the morning on the first of January 1970 (no kidding here - it's a nice little quirk of unix servers, though I doubt I got the exact date and time correct ). There is a little bit of scripting I can put together to work this out, but it all boils down to this - is it bothering you that much? I'm sure the software creators would have put in a feature had they actually the slightest impression that someone would merge three boards into one somewhere along the line And yes, the reason it happened is that it must have taken the date from teh board you last registered on.

Give this one a try. It uses the mktime() function. That being said, I guess it's not THAT important shagpuss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
