Went on a search to find out how to display by join date, oldest first, and no luck there ...
I can see individual ones, but not a list ?
I'm actually more concerned about location over join date and post count, it's better to know whose close by that keeps up on local events and other benefits of the hobby.

True that is an interesting point.....
I joined before Bob inherited the forum from his granddad. He squandered quite a bit of it before he got serious, but here we all are now.
And that makes you an newbie spoiled brat! I started with 300 baud terminals with acoustic couplers. Moved up to an Atari. Then started the SnarfQuest Bulletin Board when I got a PC with a HARD drive! and a new fancy 1200baud modem. QBBS written in turbo pascal, and umm BinkleyTerm to answer the phone on the FidoNet. Had 4 phone lines into the house in those days.That's right sonny, Sonny used to use 56K modems, uphill, both ways, in the snow.

Wasn't that done on a Commodore 64 or was it a VIC 20?I am a granddad, LOL, and I've been running railroad websites since before the turn of the century!

Xenforo itself does have the ability to sort members by join date , but I -assume- that option is not available to the average user ??No, there's no oldest member list etc.

Wow and Cool sounds familiar. My college still had a plugboard IBM 908? Didn't have to use it though because freshman year we had a punched tape on a Burrows 1500, and then cards with good old FORTRAN II on an IBM 1130. We actually had a plotter. Thought it was the coolest piece of equipment in the world. By the time I was a senior Boeing donated an IBM 360-44 that had floating point instructions! It was mainly for the aeronautical engineering program. It had FORTRAN IV and COBOL, and PL/I subset and SNOBOL. but in all that I ended up being mainly an assembly language programmer.Now, now, not so fast... The first computer I worked with took punchcards and was programmed in Fortran.
If you find one of mine (or any of my prior handles) please don't delete it, let me know and I'll fix it. Those are usually posted from my website. When it went to a new provider they suddenly became case sensitive. Easy enough for me to fix if I know about it.We delete posts when images are broken. Typically that happens when they're hosted externally.
