Longevity Code...

[mrthomas]

Hello... I installed the posting activity meter but I was wondering where to get the "Longevity" code?

[Wormopolis]

I'm not sure I ever really published that one... I didnt think anyone else would want it.

Its based off the site's start date, so you will have to edit that. and since the MP doesnt have the ACTUAL start day, only the start month, if a new user joins at the end of the month his marker isnt all the way to the left. After a few months, however, it becomes moot.

Thanks for sharing the code... There is just one minor problem... since I have recently applied the script, now my "Posting Activity Meter" looks bigger... the two meters are not the same size.... any suggestions?

I've placed both scripts in the "Global Footer" and I currently have no other scripts running on the forum.

If you click the link below it will take you to my forum... hopefully you will be able to see what's going on... registration is not required.

find this line:

cdiv.style.height='5';

change to

cdiv.style.height='8px';

Ha! I fixed it =)

Now I will try and apply the colorsmear script again... last time it seemed as if it broke my activity posting meter lol.... if I have problems with it should I open a new thread?

[Wormopolis]

or continue with the posts in the activity meter thread you already have.

and again.. If I have a URL I can look at, I can troubleshoot easier.

[mrthomas]

Seems as if everything is working now... for future reference you may access our forum here... "http://phoenix-united.proboards.com".

Thanks for all your help wormo! YOU ROCK!

FINALLY! lol!

and thank you for flying Wormo Airlines...
