Is there an easy way to distinguish users who've been active for various years. For example, if a user has been with us for 1 year, i'd like to have a certain image in the postbit or username. A different image will be there for a user that's been there for 2 years and 3 years, etc.

I'm not sure how to do the join date less current date calculation. :ermm:

You can do this without modifying files, using usergroups and usergroup promotions.

Have a look at this section of the documentation for more info: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...promotions#top

You could probably add a profile field and run a cron job to run a check every once in a while and update the field...

Then again, why reinvent the wheel?
