Highest Lifetime Status Credits?

It cpuld habe been more, only earn from late 1998 counts toward LTSC.

Yes, that's right. Even though I joined in 1994 I think I took one flight in 1995 (an old A300B4 !!) and then nothing until 2001, which was a sub flight for a cancelled AN sector as part of a Star RTW that was thankfully honoured the week after AN folded but I was still a Star guy for years after so Ihad very little QF (or oneworld post 1997) flying to my name while I'd amassed well over 500k lifetime miles on Star.

anyway good point

I mean seriously how hard is this IT stuff ?

Going off topic slightly but PC and internet programming are unnecessarily difficult due to all the different operating systems they need to support.

Over 20 years ago I briefly worked in Paradox writing an executive information system and we used to ship it out to clients that would install it on their machine. In those days there was only Windows 3.1, Windows NT and Windows 95. The shipping software had to cater for each environment as certain functions behave differently in different environments.

How many different environments today? Very time consuming to ensure that every single change/upgrade works on every single environment/browser.

I suppose it means more to me as I had ~245 flights between joining in October 1994 and September 1998.

Actually, cross platform website content creation is rather straight forward and very standardised. Yes, not all works exactly the same on FF/Chrome/IE/Edge/etc and with Apps but generally it's simple to sort; especially the type of simple text content being referred to.

If it was that simple why aren't companies testing this stuff before releasing it to end users.

In Thailand recently I was trying to direct debit into 28 degrees to free up some funds. I was using my Samsung S5 and doesn't matter what I tried I could only pay $290 as that was the previous amount I direct debited.

What a silly bug. There are many more examples out there.

The specific issue relevant to this topic was a basic proof reading error. Little to do with coding.
