Birthday on the calendar coming - CHECK YOUR BIRTH YEAR

Hi all,

When we first tested the migration to the new boards one problem noted by the beta testers was that the birthdays showing up on the calendar ALSO showed the age of the person in question because the birth years had been entered. That was disturbing to some, so we made two changes:

1. We asked Invision to remove everyone's birth year
2. We hid all the birthdays on the calendar until we were sure how #1 would work out

SO, I think Invision deleted all of the birthday data - not just the year - but I can't be sure since I can't query the database. I also can't check that they cleanly deleted everyone's data, but I think they did.

BEFORE we turn the birthday calendar stuff back on, I wanted to give everyone a chance to check their birthday data. You have a few choices:

1. Re-enter your birthday data if it's missing
2. Wipe out your birthday data if it's there and you don't want it to be
3. Change your birth year
4. In all three cases above, you have "not telling" as a birth year choice.

I'll turn on the birthdays in about a week after this post. You can find your birthday by editing your profile - it's at the top:

If you change birth year on boards will it change the birth year in real life?

Only if you're Chuck Norris.
