8) | 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.

| | Re: Questions from a newbie ;-) Is it considered kosher to point out mistakes such as homophone confusion, here for hear, for example?
