Check today and noticed my detachment affilation to FISD was on retired? How can I change to active or is it something to not worry about? Note last troop date is incorrect as census didn't have December 2023. Kind regards TK51992 Currently, you have full 501st Stormtrooper access to our forums. If your Legion profile is stating retired, you will need to take that up with your GML. How does one become retired? generally you don't troop for a year and your GML sets you to reserve. Don't troop for 2 years in a row, you get set to retired due to inactivity. Some Garrisons enforce this more than others. This is garrison and Legion controlled.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Also, AFAIK, it's only ever used once a year and that is during detachment elections. So not much to-do until next cycle (which is why we only updated it annually), or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Legion do an annual update, but considering the volume of members we have, plus the coming and going of members in legion, I have been doing our maintenance quarterly so it didn't go back to the mess it was prior. It is time-consuming, so keeping it up to date has made that far easier to manage. Most of the maintenance has been members retired from the legion, and there has been loads of them, probably due to the Covid years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirko_in_action[TK] Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Hi I hope I'm right here too. I have been a member of the FISD since 2020 and have been in PENDING status since then. I checked everything. Mail is correct, forum name is the same, TK ID is correct. But somehow it doesn't seem to work for me with the recognition in the census. Can someone please help me? Thank you in advance Mirko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance Mirko Mirko, you have no legion ID (not your TKID) info added in your Profile, also you have no email listed, this probably means the sync won't work as it matches identicle email addresses with the one you supplied to legion. (that is important, they are the same for the back end system and the leading cause of failures to sync) Please update that first and let's see what happens.

We had like 3 SQL queries that made it about a 5 minute process. Also, once as a younger person, I wrote a desktop app that automated the Legion web site. I'd just get a list of IDs from the FISD database and it would automatically click the links for me. Good times. What I'm trying to say is if you are doing something manually, why? It should be automated and not take more than 15 minutes a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm too stupid... the Legion ID according to Census is my TK ID. I can't set the ID here in the forum. And the email address here in the forum is the same as in the Census. It is also the same email address in the 501st.com forum. What am I doing wrong? Edited February 12 by MaskedVengeance COG removal of image for the protection of personal contact information.

It's a little unfortunate that the terminology is so similar but your legion id that we're looking for is 32492. https://501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=32492&costumeID=124 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! The affiliation is now correctly listed in the census... I'm very happy about that - thank you! The 501st ID is still not listed under my profile here in the forum.

Only those that donate to web/hosting fundraising get a "supporter" graphic added to their profile, we haven't had a donation run for some years as we migrated over to the Legions web hosting. Legion is currently doing a web/hosting run if you wish to support that https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=113646, the legion issues this to your profile , left is for web hosting right is for voting in the elections (they will only show on your legion profile). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZINGA[TK] Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 As I understand it you don't see the supporter thing on FISD since they went under the 501st umbrella. You will only see the special graphic on your 501st profile if you opt-in for it in your settings after the campaign is over. I also could be completely wrong.
