These are the highest numbers this counter will be able to count to, depending on your system.

Yes we do....

Math has been awful for me when it comes to vB4. So I installed the mod, set my start date and get this result as of June 29, 2010 00:12

Site Startup Date Thursday, July 1, 1999 at 12:00 am
Site Age 11 years, 1 day, 12 minutes and 16 seconds

That doesn't seem right, unless I'm missing something about the passing of time.

[Boofo]

I just entered the same date for the Site Life Status Startup Date setting and this is what I got:

June 29, 2010 00:12

Site Startup Date: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 12:12 am
Site Age: 2 hours, 25 minutes and 31 seconds

Make sure you enter the right time for the Site Life Status Date Display Format. That uses strftime instead of the standard php date.

No start up date is July 1, 1999. I was giving you a reference point as to when I was loading the forum page to view. Thus the 'result as of June 29, 2010 00:12'.

As for the Display date I didn't touch it, it's the default installed by the mod:

%A, %B %e, %Y at %l:%M %P

[Boofo]

If your startup date is July 1, 1999, then 11 years is right. Or am I missing something?

[Antiblank]

Well it's June 29th, wouldn't 11 years be July 1st?

Start date 07/01/1999 so 11 years later would be 07/01/2010. By my count 11 years isn't for another 2 days, as I said unless there is some different way it should do math at that level.
