editing profile

[Stripey]

I'm trying to add my myspace url to my profile but it just keeps saying "you've entered an invalid birthday" even if i put some bullshit date in the form. Whats up with that?

[Stripey]

never mind it worked when i put in 1950 as the dob instead of 1901

Umm...I thought you hated MySpace and the like anyway?

And yeah, if you put in an unrealistic DOB then it will give you that error.

Yeah I've finally taken the plunge into myspace hell as much as I hate to admit it.

What irritated me was that even though I'd previously left the DOB field empty, I couldn't change anything on that page without putting in a DOB in the first place, it didn't like it when I left it blank.

I would never put my real date of birth into any web form, even if you trust the owner of the site you can't trust their hosting company etc

Ah, right. Okay, the reason for this is that the DOB is now mandatory (although there is nothing stopping you putting in a fake DOB as long as it isn't too silly). The reason for this is to ensure that no-one under 13 years old can register on the web site due to it's mature content (swearing etc). And yes, I know if you were eager enough to register then you'd put a fake DOB in anyway and that this is all pointless etc. But we've got to at least try and be responsible and prevent minors from using the web site if we can.
