there is a tendency for people who dont want to give out their birthdays to such sites to just list Jan 1 Hehe ;D Damn logical explanations!!  |

Happy Birthday yesterday! Yup, that's me. But actually this IS my brother's bd, so I used his date I think. Carol I think it is/was Bluelytes' and Jankiel's actual birthday, but I don't know about others. |

Forgive me for saying this, but if you don't want anyone to know what your birthday is, why put anything there? It is possible To Say No to that kind of information on Proboards and still be accepted for membership  |

I'm not sure how it was set-up here, but many boards want you to put something in for BD. Often it's not optional.
It's not that I don't want people to know how old I am (60+), but putting out your BD all over the internet is a BIG security issue. As in identity theft. Knowing your BD is one piece of info those people would usually need. So i use various dates depending on what I feel like.

I'm not saying to put all of your info out there. The option is available
You go to Profile, Then Modify Profile, then Account Options.
Do you want to show you Age Yes or No?
Selecting "Yes" will display your age and birthday to all members of this forum, "No" limits displaying your age to only staff members.
And it does say it only shows it to members of this forum, not to anyone who happens by.

Well, I thought I checked the "no" button as I usually do if given the option.
Not sure now tho.

Carol, you must have selected NO because it doesn't give a DOB on your profile. |

Ok!! Let me apologize sunflowers, as it was my fault, I put the birthdays in the news banner and as I am a mod I see all birthdays and all I did was cut and paste it in there, again I'm truly sorry if it has caused any problems.

No, not a problem.
People above were just amaized at the 1/1 BDs and some of us were explaining why there may be more listed than there actually are.
The truth is my family doesn't celebrate birthdays at all, so most of the time i don't pay any attention to all that fuss.
