No but they have a date of Jan.1 1970 for the members that have been a long time contributer. I have always had the 1970 date and could not understand why because I'm pretty sure that the site didn't exist at that time. So what about this in my profile http://www.tomshardware.com/community/profile

For some reason it's changing between the two dates because when I last posted it showed the 1970 date and now it's the 1969 date. I'm starting to think it has to do with the browsers I'm using. Since the launch I've had some problems so I've been switching between IE10 and Chrome and with IE10 the url says Tomsharware.co.uk and with Chrome it says Tomshardware .com , with IE10 it says 1970 and with Chrome it says 1969. Must have something to do with the time zones.
It really is baffeling as to why it would show a date so far back when the site didn't even exist , other people seem to have the right date as I've seen 2003 2007 2010 2012 and so on. Maybe after this launch settles down I'll ask Joe and see if he can find out and if I get an answer I'll let you know. If you find out first let me know.

This is very funny. The "Member Since" date is traveling back in time, it looks like. Those of you who joined before our last platform update appear to have gotten older, like some kind of blueshift star. This is so far the most hilarious bug from the transition, and has "Summer of 69" stuck in my head now.
I'll send this on to the dev team to take a peek at.

I was told in one of my other threads that this happened to the users who were here before the previous migration. After the migration, the join date was just defaulted to Jan 1 1970, for some reason. Users like me who joined much later have the real join date, but even mine has moved back by a day, from aug 22 to 21.

Before the migration my join date was always 1970 and just never thought anything of it and accepted it as a glitch so when this new migration kept it the same it seemed normal but then because of the merge with the UK site the time zone affected some dates and like in your case seemed to move it a day.

I could at least in part understand the 01/01/1970 date in Linux terms but how it got back to the day before that is a complete mystery. I'd love to hear the Dev Teams views on how that happened.
Rolli _ I think I'd be a lot more concerned at becoming an Ancient although I get called worse on the average day.
Master suited you better.

This problem was first noticed in 2006-7 after the great purge when some of our old accounts and posts were inadvertantly killed off when the previous incompetent owners started fiddling with the thorium reactor.
Joe I would simply leave it as it may inadvertantly delete all of the old forum posts or mess things up.
Who really cares about signup date anyway ??

One of the things we'd like to do is set the join date for all those legacy users as the very first day they posted. Genius! How has nobody thought of this until now? It would have been the most logical fix last time as well.

One more question, if one selects one of those lovely badges as status how does one get rid of it without selecting another one? Are you starting to feel old?

Currently you can't and your stuck with a badge of some type unless they add a fix to choose no badge.

Why can't we have multiple badges shown in different sections? We should be able to customize that.
For example, my Vista++ badge shown on my posts in the Vista section, or my 7++ badge shown in the 7 section.
Because someone posting in eg. CPUs won't give, if another person posting has a badge from a totally different section, but it's not shown.
My explanation might be a bit odd, but I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.
