MemberSince you wanted to know if there is a way to find when an account has been created. http://profiles.yahoo.com/[place the names here you want to check] – it should tell you when the account was created.
EDIT- Copy profiles.yahoo.com/ and paste it onto your web browser and add the screen names you want to check.
It seems that members.yahoo.com does not work at all when searching for a screen name.

Memberyeah but only if they tick the “display how long i have been a member of Yahoo! on my profiles”. Some profiles only show the “Last Updated”. any other options?!

MemberYeah I know. I don’t think there is any other way you could find out when one is created. Hopefully Yahoo experts like Freddy, Johnson (and others) will be able to help you with this.

MemberA while back, they added it were you could set the option for your profile to show when your id was created. But say you made your id on 1-1-03 and u added a new alias on it, on 8-1-03, it would say that the alias was created on 1-1-03, last updated on 8-1-03. This is the only sure fire way to tell when the main id on the account was made. If a profile doesn’t have the date it was created in it, the date that it was last updated, could be the day it was created, if they never updated the profile. If the profile is blank, then it very likely could be the day it was made. Also when u create an alias, it will associate the age and location your id has from when u made the id in the profile.

I just made that alias the other day, so my birthday on the id is in the 1800’s and the zip when i made the id was 90210. So if you see an id with just the age and location in the profile, it’s probably and alias.
Why are you wanting to know this? Theres a few other ways to get an idea how old an account is, but for the most part you have to go by what it says in the profile.

Is one of the oldest accounts i know of, a guy I know, who knows computers inside and out, says that the first yahoo id ever made was “test” cause that’s what people use to test out their sites when they first make them.July 24, 2003 at 12:14 am #58786khizz
