I promised I wouldn't try to take any more 
as long as I'm leading - and I think I am, right now...
...so here's a little hint: Tacsatduck's answer is correct, but can you provide the link to prove it? Remember that Ottox said there would be more if you do that - and also remember that the date a user creates his/hers user page isn't necessarily the same date they registered... so you need to find a link that shows when Ottox registered...

Thanks for that. Obviously Tacsat will do that. Well done Tacsat (I need more research time......)

Not all that obvious - maybe Tucsatduck checked when Ottox had created his user page... which he did on the same day that he registered....

Yep, I think that was what I tried but found 8 or so Ottox user pages

Hint no.2: fiddle with the URL alternatives for the new users' page...

Oh, and don't go chasing users with just one * on that page - remember that conversations that far back haven't been updated yet...

The problem with those links are that they only work for a short time.
You could trust that I know when I joined...
