2 years?

Tue Apr 12, 2005 2:52 pm

On my userlookup, my shield just changed to 30 months.
And now on the neoboards it says "2 years"
1 year=12 months
12+12=24 months + 6 = 30 months.
TNT has got to work on their math.
(Actually, I assume this is a glitch)

Perhaps, they are rounding down to whole years.

Wasn't there a topic about this recently? I vaguely remember someone stating that they had been a member for several months and yet it showed 0 years on the neoboards.

EDIT: It must be a glitch of some sort. I just tested my account and it says the number of months, not years. Almost everyone else had number of months shown as well. Yet, I did see someone on the boards with zero years.

It's been doing that to my 9 month account. It switches from saying 9 months to 0 years and then back again.

If it was the rounding thing........
Still 30 months is closer to 3 years than 2.

No it's not, it's smack dab in the middle.

Rounding down is probably generally preferred to rounding up. Rounding up could cause some stupid problems.
