a third digit to the vacation counter

i would like a third digit to be added to the vacation counter
currently it is set at a maximum of TWO characters, so the maximum time someone can take vacation for is 99 days
now because its the last year of my schooling, i need to take 115 days off (as a minimum from today)
but cant do this because i cant have three digits in the vacation day counter box
its a single character that needs to be changed in the coding, and would make it much easier and safer for me and anyone else who needs to be on vacation for more than 100 days for whatever reason

It doesn't matter what number you put in really - you will only come off vac when you next log in
At least that's how it used to be - I assume it still is though.....

yeh i think if u put in 1 day and logged back in 100days from now u will sitl be unranked
but if u put in vac for 99 days u won't be able to log in at all until then which isn't a good idea as u might want to log on and look around.

The number entered in completely irrelevant. You can enter 99, and return in 2 days, or enter 5, and return in a years time.

Maybe prior to you returning the server had suffered down time and admin gave server wide PPT. I remember one time i went on vac mode only for three days, but during those three days at some point there was downtime and admin gave server wide PPT. It would not allow me to log in to my account during that PPT even though the initial 2 days was over. it let me finally log in when the server wide ppt ended.
