My account --> Edit profile --> Date of birth

It automatically calculates your age and displays it.

I think there is some kind of bug with that where it shows you the wrong syntax for your birthday when you are signing up. It's mm/dd/yyyy but when you first sign up I think it tells you that it's dd/mm/yyyy or something like that. I put in my birthday when I first signed in but then when I looked at my profile I saw that it was wrong so I changed it. Other people have had problems with their age on their profile being higher then it really is, and I suspect that that's the reason. You should double check your birthday to make sure you entered it right. Also, on my profile I separated the month, day, and year with dashes (-) not slashes (/). I don't know if that has something to do with why it's working but I think it's worth pointing out.

oh here we go, mines filled in as "dd/mm/yyyy" thats probably the issue, ill give it a go, if it shows up on my profile to the left then it worked i guess. wierd that this happened yet with my account the website will let me go into age restricted sections (i was curious what people were talking about....dont judge me! haha)
