How to find actual member number

A long while back, I remember there was a way to figure out what your member number was. Is there a way to still do that? I'm curious about how low my member number is based on being around for 7 yrs lol.

Actually, Jim, when the conversion was done from phpBB to vBulletin for the forum software, the User ID numbers were all "massaged" by the conversion software, and and pretty much mean nothing anymore.

You User ID is 134471 (find it by simply hovering over your username).

Mine is 136785.

Darren, the Original Member Number One is 129500...

So, if one subtracts 129499 from one's current member number, you should arrive at your actual original member number...

Dar... 129500 - 129499 = 1

Tom... 136715 - 129499 = 7216 (That number sounds about right for me...)*

Jim... 134471 - 129499 = 4972

Glad you asked!

Tom

* I checked back on some very old documentation, and that is the correct number for me, so I'll bet that's the right number for you, too. Why did the conversion software add 129499 to everyone's User ID? Damned if I know!
