I don't believe posting is a requirement.

Sharing your snacks would be polite, however.

^{I'd ask for a cookie but my web browser would get confused.}

Oh, by the way...

I don't believe we are obligated to put our exact birth-date in our WP profiles. I know I am not the only one on here who posted an approximate birth-date.

Obviously you'd probably want to pick a "birth-date" that allowed others to correctly calibrate their conversation with you.

Hi, thanks I put my date of birth in the box last night, but its still not showing my age, so I don't know why its not working. I'll try logging out and back in.

Nope, its still not showing, cleared my data and cookies too. I can only think perhaps I need more posts until that info shows up, I'm not actually that bothered about the age as its relevant/not relevant really but I'm more annoyed that I can't work out why it won't work.

I went through several iterations of entering my (approximate) "Date of Birth" before it worked correctly.

One tricky thing is the edit-profile page says the format is "mm/dd/yyyy". That did not work for me. Instead of slashes I needed to use hyphens.

Thank you! hyphens worked for me too. How odd the example uses slashes but slashes don't actually work.

Maybe our collective quirkiness has :roll: rubbed off onto the computers.
