How to...?

I was wondering how you guys (admins , WW) installed the longevity bar.

In the test forum you can try out for 24 hours (cheap me ) , it doesnt have those.

Will this be added once you buy it?

Or is this a "hack"?

Thanks .


(PS Sorry to post this all here , but because I have a free email , I cant register to the official forums , and this is the best place I know with a vB board)

They wouldn't "hack" their own site, silly. It's just some HTML code from what I can guess....iuno

Yes the longevity bar is part of our private activity hack.

A while back, Chruser set up an @zelaron.com e-mail service; if you PM him, he might have the link, so you can use that to register for vB.com and vB.org.

It could actually be done without a hack, I believe. You would have to run the query for the oldest join date:
SELECT joindate FROM user ORDER BY joindate LIMIT 1
in the PHP include, and then you might be able to do the math in a template conditional.

Ah , aight .
Does this mean its completely private(only for zelaron) or is it semi - public (have to register to some sort of forum).

Heh , I completely forgot I stillhadone of those @zelaron accounts!
Ill try that aswell;D .

Hmm , soundslike it could be possible ; Ill try it, but I guess its way beyond my knowledge .

Is there any hope left?

Its called a hack because its not origionally coded into your vB , IPB , PHPBB , or whatever you use.
