Birth Date rather than Age?

Is it possible to code the system to use birth dates instead of adding your age in your profile, and then auto updating it on your birthday?  Seems like people forget to change their age every year and then it's pointless.

 

And of course I believe you are going to add the age to the user info on the left side.

Birthdate is now set up on everyone's profile page.  Feel free to edit it.  The site will keep track of your age, birthday, and the birthdays of your friends.  You can finally just enter in your birthdate and the site will keep track of the rest.  Thanks.

Are you going to show a members age on the left?

pretty sure he's redesigning the entire left box and said he will include that.

Suggestion.

Perhaps only show age and not birth date. You still have the potential of have birthday reminders without telling the world of ID theft an exact age.

I had my exact birth date in there but have changed it to something close enough.

I am really afraid of ID theft. My wife is worse than me about it too.

pretty certain he's only putting age.  I only suggested having a birthday option in settings so the system would change it for you (people forget).

If I click on your username I can see you birth date. At the moment.

Ah.  Well, I guess I'm not in the tinfoil hat crew wink

 

I don't care either way.  I just wanted it to have the bday option so your age stays current next to your forum handle.
