So I made an account ages ago but never used it. Just logged back in, updated my profile and discovered that the site thinks I am 45, though I listed my DOB as 1/21/1982, roflolmao.

What the heck!? GRRRR

You have to use hyphens 01-21-1982 will work for you.

You think that you have problems? Try being this website's only 115 year old man!

:lol: I wanted to put myself as 134 years old, but unfortunately server didn't allow it. Maybe when it gets fixed :P

Depending on where I look on Wrong Planet, I am either 52 or 53. I believe that it is still the signature-editing glitch.

What he/she said. You have to use mm-dd-yyyy format, not mm/dd/yyyy. Unless you like being 45

Me too, I noticed it this morning, says I am 45.
(Although, that's not too far off the mark!)

Tried using hyphens as the separators, and it works brilliantly!
Thanks heaps for the tip!

Cheers
