One disadvantage of the new system is that it does not show the actual date when a member joined MLS.
At first this does not seem important - until you are considering buying something from a fellow member.
When you look up a member's join date and it shows that they have only been a member a short time it can make you wonder about the safety of buying or selling something from or to from that member.
Going to the archives does not help much in that you have to do a number of searches and make multiple guesses attempting to discover a post that the member may have made to give you a link to that member's real joining date. There may be a simpler method but if there is I have not discovered it yet.
Hopefully MLS will eventually be able to bring back the true join dates of our members.
Then again perhaps I am missing something obvious.
