(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a Site Life Status info area, including Site Startup Date, Site Age, Site Location, Pagehits counter and Average visits, to your forumhome What's Going On box.

NOTE: The maximum counter value will depend on your system. The maximum signed integer value for 32 bit systems is 2147483647 (or 2,147,483,647), while the maximum signed integer value for 64 bit systems is 9223372036854775807 (or 9,223,372,036,854,775,807). These are the highest numbers this counter will be able to count to, depending on your system.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Added Site Life Status Date Display Format option to settings.
Version 1.0.2 --Added Site Life Status Locale option to settings. This will allow you to display the Site Life Status Date Display Format day and month name in your local language.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed for WGO style changes in vB 4.0.8. (Site_Life_Status_vb4.08.zip only)
Version 1.0.4 --Reverted back to the original js file because of the timer messing up with the added leap year code.

Credits:
A thank you goes out to Shawn Dean for supplying the original javascript code for the Site Age counter.

That is the way it is supposed to work. You need to set that to yes and set the counter to what you want to have it start counting at. Once you set that and save it, it will revert to no again so you don't mistakenly overwrite the counter once it is set. The first post explains that.

Update the page views counter to the value below?
If you want to change the current page views counter value on forumhome to the value provided below, set this to "Yes" - it will automatically be reset to "No" once the new value has been set (at the next page view).

If you are still having problems getting it to work right, PM me some login details so I can look at the settings to make sure they are right.

Hello Boofo. It looks like i found the Error.
The syntax for the date with the dotes will not be accepted

day - month name - full year - time (21 Jan. 2008 16:48)
month name - day - full year - time (Jan. 21, 2008 16:48)

I dont know why, but if i use one of the formats in the Quote, Site Age just counts the seconds.
Also the de_DE format will not work. I checked it on my server and its available.

Well i use now day - month name - full year - time (21 January 2008 16:48) to get it working correctly.

I thought I had removed the examples with dots. Those have never worked. I will update the file.

Try using german instead of de_DE.

Also tried "german"
Same. Does not work either.

Then they are not supported on your server. How are you checking your server for what locales are supported?

Did you try disabling the mod to see if those error are still there? It only affects the time for the languages so there is no way that should be happening with this mod.
