What happened to my date of birth? [deleted due to COPPA]

I was in my profile and noticed that the section for DOB isn't there. I then looked at the bottom of the forum listing where birthday's are normally listed and saw a bunch of them.

What happened?

It was part of the COPPA legal cleanup. No more DOB in profiles.

The difference between DOB and birthday. The former includes year/age. The latter does not and is ok.

Well, mine is gone. It did not contain my year, just birth date. Or, it did and I asked the year not be visible. I can't recall.

But now it's not available anywhere in my profile, correct?

I can probably still edit the birthday back into a profile, but I don't believe there is a way for a user to.

Honestly, I don't care one way or another, but as of my post on the 7th, some people's ages were still appearing.

I believe those who had only a birthday without year are still in the database.

I think we're talking past each other...

Since the forum is showing the age of the person in parenthesis the year has to be in the profile.

I agree with Mary. Today's list of birthdays clearly lists ages in some cases, so the years must be there in some cases.

wherenext, ktradtke, muzi00us, scheinercpa, houstonreadhead, latinprince, terrypilot (85), ccpgary, AnotherDCGuy (54), mitchell (49), fhshop, lilpinkpuck (40), Coop1979 (36), DJLAS (34), sharkieva (33), silverthief2 (32), misswawa (25)
