Enhanced Joined date: X Days, Y Months and Z Days

First of all, this tutorial uses GetDateDifference function by tchapin, available on http://php.net/date

Open admin\sources\base\core.php and find:

		$member['pp_reputation_points'] = $member['pp_reputation_points'] ? $member['pp_reputation_points'] : 0;
		$member['author_reputation']	= ipsRegistry::getClass( 'repCache' )->getReputation( $member['pp_reputation_points'] );

Add below:

		$nicedate = IPSTime::GetDateDifference( date('m/d/Y', $member['joined'] ), date('m/d/Y', time() ) );
		 $member['nicedate'] = $nicedate['NiceString'];

Find:

	static public function date_getgmdate( $gmt_stamp )
		{
			$tmp = gmdate( 'j,n,Y,G,i,s,w,z,l,F,W,M', $gmt_stamp );
	
			list( $day, $month, $year, $hour, $min, $seconds, $wday, $yday, $weekday, $fmon, $week, $smon ) = explode( ',', $tmp );
	
			return array(  0		 => $gmt_stamp,
						   "seconds" => $seconds, //	Numeric representation of seconds	0 to 59
						   "minutes" => $min,	 //	Numeric representation of minutes	0 to 59
						   "hours"	 => $hour,	  //	Numeric representation of hours	0 to 23
						   "mday"	 => $day,	 //	Numeric representation of the day of the month	1 to 31
						   "wday"	 => $wday,	//	Numeric representation of the day of the week	0 (for Sunday) through 6 (for Saturday)
						   "mon"	 => $month,   //	Numeric representation of a month	1 through 12
						   "year"	 => $year,	//	A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits	Examples: 1999 or 2003
						   "yday"	 => $yday,	//	Numeric representation of the day of the year	0 through 365
						   "weekday" => $weekday, //	A full textual representation of the day of the week	Sunday through Saturday
						   "month"	 => $fmon,	//	A full textual representation of a month, such as January or Mar
						   "week"	=> $week,	//	Week of the year
						   "smonth"  => $smon,
						   "smon"	=> $smon
