  Member rules dictate that members are "new" from start date to 3 months after start date. Nearly all the members in our database (4000+) are still marked as new. In fact, everyone is considered new unless they were cancelled by us by hand.
  
  I have changed the rule so that members are only new for one month instead of three. What could be causing this issue? Cron is running. How do I fix and update user status?
