Albert Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I've made some changes to the forum so you no longer need to enter your year of birth in the Birthday field if you'd like to keep your age private. If you go into your profile settings, you can select the first item in the Year drop-down, "--", instead of picking a year. This will still allow people to view your birthday (so you get more presents!) but without revealing your age. If you've been holding out on entering your birthday because of this, now you have nothing to fear! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Can you do it the other way too? I don't mind people knowing the year I was born, but I don't want people knowing the day and month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) That's cool. I had just put down April 18, 2004 because I did have a birthday on that date. (Fun with Semantics!) Edited April 22, 2005 by Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just the year, you can't even accurately gauge how old someone is. With support now for not entering the year, the code would get even more complex if I tried to change it to allow only the year and handling that case as well as the others. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I think everyone should be FORCED to tell their age, we're not gettin any younger so we should just deal with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthQuake Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Agreed. If you want us to celebrate your birthday, we should at least know how old you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
