Another thing about following The Ranger Station on YouTube... I have my YT account on my 75" TV and have watched TRS videos in 75" of glory... you haven't seen Jim or TRS3 until you have seen it on a 75" screen.

I mean... I like the guy... but that might be a bit much fir me.

I also set it so that the forum will recognize that you've been a member for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years under your username if you don't have a custom title.

Jim, is the coding for this working right?

It says that I'm a 20+ year member, which I am having been around before the 2007 forum restart, but my join date displayed is 2007 which is only 18 years. That's the case for a lot of us old timers, and I assumed that there was some other date code buried in the forum that told our original join date.

Saw one today, warkatron, that had a 2009 join date that also showed 20+ years. Most of us old timers have the 2007 joining year, but it's possible that this member was also around before and just took longer to come back. Seeing the discrepancy again just got me wondering if the coding was correct.

WTH.

The forum is coded to award you the 20+ year trophy if you've been a member for 7,300 days (365x20). I have no idea why it's awarding that and honestly it hadn't jumped out at me because we've been around for over 25-years.

Ok, I found the problem. It's a mistake on my part. You get 2000 points for being here 20-years and you need 2000 points to get the 20-year member trophy.

You also get 500 points for 5-years and 1500 points for 15-years. I didn't realize that the forum would add all of those together instead of resetting. So, it's working fine, it's the idiot that set it up. I have to fix the number you need to get the trophy.

Some days are longer than other days…

I blame the leap years for the issue. It’s that extra day.

I think you're right.
