Guys and gals,... I'm one of these people who is running an old-school version of the forum. I, like many who run their forums as a side thing, just don't have the time to do or keep up with all the upgrades and, in any event, have made SO MANY small alterations directly to the code over the years, which, moreover, I do not have well documented, that I know that doing the upgrade will end up being a TOTAL NIGHTMARE. Someday, when I have enough money, I'll just hire our YaBB gurus here to get the job done... right. Until then, I'm more than happy with the product I am using.
So, without further ado,... onto the problem it looks like I've been experiencing since day one four years ago or, at least, that has cropped up without my noticing...
until today...
Why, when you do a "Member # Reset (or Recount, I think)", does the 31st of the month and the 1st of the next month get compressed into one day with member numbers being "reset" according to the time of the day (over those two days) without respect for the date? I.e., let's say member #1 joins at 9:00 A.M. on August 31st; member #2 joins at 8:00 P.M. on August 31st, and member #3 joins at 6:00 A.M. on September 1st. If I do a "Member # Reset (or Recount, I think)", the member originally numbered #3 becomes member #1, original member #1 becomes #2, and #2 - #3 based on the HOUR they join irrespective of the date, i.e. the fact that member #3 joined a day later. It's like the program is not making a distinction between the 31st of a month and the 1st of the next month. What's up with that?
I guess until now my site has been small and this hasn't been a big deal, but as my site continues to grow, this would probably become a HUGE headache. I'm thinking this was a known bug, but I couldn't find a fix for or any information on it in the FAQ section(s).
As for the logistics,... I am running (REALLY old-school here) YaBB 1 Gold - SP 1.1, and, the (relevant) mods I've added are Advanced Membergroups 1.5, YAMS (I don't know which one, 4.03 or 5.02) and MBCO 2, and, if this helps, my forum can be accessed via

Any ideas? HELP!!!
Thank you in advance for anything helpful... Right now, I'm at a total loss.
