You could add it to the join date, like the age is done with the birthday. Create a plugin using hook userprofile_prepare and code like this:
Code:
if ($field == 'joindate')
{
$this->prepare_joindate();
$jd = vbdate('Y', $this->userinfo['joindate']);
$td = vbdate('Y', TIMENOW);
$years = $jd - $td;
$this->prepared['joindate'] .= " (Member for $years years)";
$handled = true;
}
Obvious you could expand that to go to months if they joined less than a year ago, etc. (BTW, look in includes/class_userprofile.php to see what's going on).
