Suggestion - Age

Submitted by tdtaylor on Thu, 2007-08-09 01:10

Hello,

Rather than enter our age (which I believe increases each year) in the profile section, how about entering in our birth date...and then calculating our age from that? Seems like a better long-term strategy...

Thanks!

Would be interested to hear what other uses think!

That would make it easier, which I am all for, but changing my age once a year does not bug me.

Putting DOB increases chance of identity theft. Lots of user's already reveal full name and location. Changing age once a year takes less time than entering a new visit.

Actually, what I was thinking was to make the full birth date hidden (like our email addresses, passwords)....just the calculated date would show to everyone.

It doesn't take much work to update one's age once a year...provided you remember to. This way that information never gets outdated.

Having reached my designated three score years and ten. I do not intend to have any more birthdays. I am happy to leave it as it is.
