Are you in a household account in which the 13-year old already has a profile including his date of birth?

Then one thought which came to mind was this: Can you add a person to your Family and Friends list without specifying a date of birth? (I can't test this because I'm not in a HHA.)
If you can, then one possible workaround might be to add him to your F&F list without a date of birth (so that he might actually be a distinct person from the person who's actually a member of the HHA), and then book for the person on the F&F list as an adult.

Attempting OLCI today, I'm unable to print or save my boarding pass.
I'm travelling from Germany to the UK, on a British passport, and make this journey every week.

I had a similar issue flying both ways between London and Amsterdam. I was able to check-in but not get the boarding pass online, on the app or at the self check-in machines at the airport. At the airport the agent could not see anything wrong with the booking and were able to print the boarding passes. I phoned the Exec Club who said they had this reported multiple times and it was being investigated. Sounds as though its still not fixed.

Nonetheless, on the upteenth attempt I was able to push through a reservation on wife's BA account with one young adult this morning. Made res for myself and one child on my account. Oddly this is exactly how I made reservations for my family in February when I booked AA on BA. Not sure what conclusions to draw from all this work! Thanks again.

BA site is showing
for me at the moment... not only is this annoying but the page is returned as a '200'. Web developers and other geeks out will know that (a) this ruins your search engine results if Google happens to trawl your site with this page running and (b) it wrecks any automated detection of site failures.
So, we have a broken website, with a broken 'the website is broken' page.
Code:
ba.com - please try again Sorry, there seems to be a technical problem. Please try again in a few minutes. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Any ideas? It's become annoying enough that I was going to try a different browser.

FYI only ... An odd one from here regarding Seat Assignment. I've discussed this with the BA Twitter Team and their Web Support Team have been made aware.
New CW booking, but MMB is only showing me an F cabin [and won't scroll down] and our BA-assigned seats are showing as "undefined".

I keep getting a similar error message in Chrome if -- after searching for an Avios award ticket -- I try searching for an award ticket between different city pairs. I have to sign out of my account and back in to do a new search.

When I showed the message on the BA app to the check-in agent at T5 (a really lovely lady, by the way, who made me feel genuinely appreciated for flying BA) she told me that she sees this from time to time, they don't know why it happens and it's just one of many little issues that never seem to get fixed.

Just back from my trip to the UK and, needless to say, there was nothing wrong with my passport details and nothing on the check-in agent's system to suggest that it needed to be checked.

EDIT = Helpful chap from Twitter Team has phoned me, and has re-assigned seats ... which now show in MMB and MyFlights, even if not in MMB
Oh, and it's a 4-class 777.
