For those who want to find out how long they've been on RPoL ...
Firstly, check the date of the email that RPoL sent you when you first signed up. Note this would have been sent to your nominated private email address, NOT via RPoLs internal rMail system.
If you don't have that email, then ...
you'll need your user id:
- On a desktop computer, you can hover your mouse over the User Preferences link and have a look at the status bar at the bottom of your browser (depending on your browser, you may have to enable the status bar) - your user id is the number next to "ui"
- On a desktop computer or phone/tablet, you can click on the User Preferences link to view your user preferences then look at the address bar at the top of the screen - again your user id is the number next to "ui"
EG in http://rpol.net/usermodules/profile.cgi?ui=12345&gi=134 the user id is 12345
The date you joined RPoL is listed on a screen that only Moderators can see, and even then, is only accurate for dates after Saturday 5 May 2007:
- If your user id is less than or equal to 27662 then start date will show as "Before 08:00, Sun 23 Oct 2005"
- If your user id is between 27663 and 42226 then start date will show as "Before 10:53, Sat 05 May 2007"
- If your user id is greater than or equal to 42227 then the actual start date will be listed
If your user id is greater than or equal to 42227, then you can send an rMail to the moderators and we'll look up the date for you (you'll appreciate the other million and one things we do will take priority, but we will get back to you, when time permits).
UPDATE ... just head on over to the responsive site and check your user profile there as that now includes your sign up date (again with the same caveats that your user id has to be greater than or equal to 42227 for an accurate date) -

BIG thank you to jase for that helpful tweak. :>
