    Why so many 9 year olds?

    The list of birthdays today seems very long, and they all seem to be very young.

    That's a fault of our underlying software and someone on this end is supposed to disable the birthday display each Jan 1st, but I guess they forgot this time.

    Is it because the default for Privacy under DOB is not Hide Age and DOB?

    When DOB is not provided, the default is 1.1.xxxx. So every new years all the members show. We didnt turn it off last year and no one complained about it crashing their browsers. So probably no longer need to manually hide/show it on the new year anymore.

    I liked it. Have you considered changing the default for showing birthdays?

    Not sure as its Joes area but the default is not a configurable setting. So code changes are not done to help keep upgrades simple
