Title: announcing birthdays on the front page of the forums? (Idea)
Post by: angieskidney on September 10, 2006, 01:41:47 PM
I think it would be much easier to know when someones birthday was, if it was announced on the forums index page.

I have seen that done on other forums. Seems like a good idea. Does this forum do that?

All it takes is hitting the calendar button on the top row of buttons and viola.  :thumbup;

What do you mean? Below is a picture of what you need to click, just click the calendar button and it will show you everyones birthday for the current month. You can even go forward or backward with the months.  :)

Right, and then I tried to add it and instead of saying birthday it said event or something and it created a post in one of the forums.  I couldn't figure out how to just add a birthday.

OH, ok if you want to add or change YOUR birthday, simply go to your "Forum Profile Information" and input your birthday or change it. ONLY members birthdays should be added to the calendar. Each member can edit thier birthday the exact same way.

Does that help "Sara" and "15yearstolong"?  :)
