Just a quick little website note following the New Year. If you didn't set a birthday in your member profile, you may find that your profile age is now a year older than you really are.

We use the birthday in your profile to keep track so you don't have to update your age every year. We'll add a year automatically when your birthday rolls around. This entry is private incidentally - nobody can see it; and we won't send you a birthday greeting. You probably get enough of those from unscrupulous websites.

But if you don't haven't specified a birthday, your birthday becomes January 1.

Actually this may happen to many of you tomorrow because of differences in timezones. I forget exactly when this process kicks off and what timezone is in effect when it happens. That part can get terribly confusing - and it's still New Year's Eve in some parts of the world.

The point is you might want to check and correct your age if it's wrong and set your birthday so we can keep it right.
