Years in FIRST?

[Billfred]

I was just thinking here...we can find out plenty about the other folks on CD...birthdate, team number, what they do, AIM, et cetera.

Thing is, I can't tell you (without searching and thinking and lots of leg work) when they got into FIRST.

Is there a way to create a blank for a person's rookie year, as it were?

Oooooo, I totally dig that idea. I've always wondered how long some people have been around in this organization and often times when I ask them, I am way off. I think this would be a totally cool addition to user profiles.

Brandon?

[Tom Schindler]

motion seconded.

[Mike Schroeder]

consider it thirded...ed the extra ed is because i am big and one ed just isnt enough

[Joe Ross]

I'm pretty sure I remember a request for this years ago

and just like then, I still would like it.

[Bcahn836]

I think that would be a great idea.

It looks like the only place you can squeeze it other than in the middle of the field up above the text, is under the AIM and Yahoo messenger icons.

There already is a Join Date there (CD.com join date), but how would you (shortly) reword "Participant in FIRST since 19XX"(or 200X as in my case.) or is that good enough?

[Paul H]

We could just all type it in the custom user title field if there's no room for it.

[Astronouth7303]

Nah, It's too filled with "I am JVN!"

I like the idea.

What about right below Join Date ??

That works

Excellent idea! I think we need to add this to Brandon's ever-growing todo list. Don't you just love all the work we make for you, Brandon?

Anyways, I really like this idea. If nothing else, it would be interesting just to see how long people have been involved in FIRST.

[Brandon Martus]

I will add it next to the Join Date.

Something like:

Joined: 2001 | Rookie: 1996

OR

Joined: 2001 | FIRST: 6 years.

Something along those lines.

Any comments on which would be better?
The second one would be automatically calculated.

I like the first one better since it's more obvious.
