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.

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

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.
