How can I list my age on my WP profile?

Post Reply New Topic

My birth year has been on profile for years but it doesn't list my age when I post message what can I do?

No guarantees on this but check your Wrong Planet profile.

There is a field labelled:

Date of Birth ___________ mm/dd/yyyy

When you fill it in don't use the format the page says (mm/dd/yyyy)

Try the format: dd-mm-yyyy

Yeah. Use hyphens instead of slashes and put the month first and the day second.

Good luck and welcome to Wrong Planet!

My birth year is on my profile but for some reason it doesn't show my age when I put messages. Maybe a software issue? How can I fix it?

Interesting. I wonder if there was a change that happened awhile ago to make this not work the same anymore.

For me it shows DD- M-YEAR

There is a space instead of a 0 before the month

So if I was born on April 23 1978 (not true but just an example)

I would try: 23- 4-1978

But I wonder if it will work or if there's a bug for new members putting their birthday in, or something else I'm missing. Because I had mine set since '07, so it just carried over from whatever the process was like then. (I don't remember it being complicated! lol)
