I did have it in the actual title bar to the right (where says "Forum Information & Statistics"), as all it needed to be was a line of text. I could add that option back in I suppose?

You know what?  That would be great!  I'd love to have it in the title bar.  Yes, aligned right would work, or after any text in the title bar.  If I could give it just a space or 2 after the title text that would work also.  Let me know what you do with it.

Hi Peter

I just remembered I have another Mod in there to hide the Active Users Over the last 24 hours. I thought it better that you see my actual Home code before I contact Paul about making any changes to his Mods...

My problem with this, is that I could be trying to do this for everyone that has changes to their template. The problem isn't really the plugin, it's because of custom changes to the layout.

Even though tweaking the issues with the template changes would then show the forum age, it wouldn't show in the position that you would want, or that looks good (I tested it, doesn't look good).

The other option is for me to add support for showing the forum age in different locations (see my post to DeltaDart), which I feel is a better option, because then if lots of people make changes to their info center area (either using codes posted here, or making changes themselves), then at least they would have options to show it else where on the forum.

As to where else it could show, I don't know, people would have to suggest areas.

I don't mean to sound like I don't want to help you, cause I do, I just don't want to be tweaking the plugin for every specific user case.

I completely understand that Peter and it's not really a big deal for me if guests can't see it. It's there when members log in anyway.

I'll leave it and keep an eye on this thread to see what happens regarding placing it in a different location. I must admit I don't have any ideas for that!

Thank you for looking at it for me

Hi Peter was this title bar mod something you had decided to do or are you still contemplating it?

[Peter]

DeltaDart

It was in a previous version, but then decided to add it to the info center.

It's something I will do.

Might try and get to it today for you if I get time

1.4.0 Released

Have added in an option so that you can put the age in the title bar of the information table instead.

I'm not using them, but I did try them and the _plurals didn't work.  Only resulted in 's' displaying but no date data.  Again, I don't really need them as I have looking good as-is, but thought I'd mention it.

Could you post exactly what you tried, just so I can check if there is a bug.

First I used separators {years_plural} / {months_plural} / {days_plural} and then with no separators {years_plural} {months_plural} {days_plural}

I just use this now {years} yrs  /  {months} mths  /  {days} days and it's fine.

It should be this...

{years} yr{years_plural}  /  {months} mth{months_plural}  /  {days} day{days_plural}

The plural replacement variables are just for the "s".
