Ok, well 1) how do I register $jointime?

2) The <IF> based on the script name was something that someone else suggested as a fix for the 3.x version when it wouldn't show up in the PM system.

If I take it out now it actually deletes the userID shown in a post so I opted to leave it in for the vb4 rewrite.

To clarify, the mod is supposed to award stars for years of membership. 1 Year you get a starr, 2 years, you get 2 and so forth. I just further customized it to award a gold star for 5 years of service as our board has some members going on 10 years and showing 10 stars was kind of redundant.

It is displayed either above, or below the username on every post.
