Inputting your age is a requirement of the forum. I have switched off the age display on posts, but it is used to send birthday greetings and to help create more of a community atmosphere.

I would recommend inputting your real birthdate to allow the system to work correctly.

:wink:

Is it considered kosher to point out mistakes such as homophone confusion, here for hear, for example?

Sorry, that should have been profiles, of course, not porofiles!

Thumbs down Re: Questions from a newbie ;-)

Still not clear how I go about changing my password! Not impressed with reply times either - question posted on the 2nd July, answer took 10 days! Sorry but I'll be looking elsewhere for a more user friendly site, yours is far too frustratingly unclear!

I'd suggest that next time you start a new thread with your question. It will be noticed faster that way.
