I figured it out. I put this code in:
Code:
d1 = $$#fanficupdated;
d2 = format_date(today(),'iso');
days_between(d1, d2)
and noticed the numbers were all negative. So I tried switching d1 and d2:
Code:
d1 = format_date(today(),'iso');
d2 = $$#fanficupdated;
(
days_between(d1, d2) <# -730, also works, but that's a little bit silly)
And now I am getting Abandoned for both #2 and #3.

That was a silly mistake.
