Currently, you can only display your age if you display your full birthday along with it. I liked having my age visible upon hover but find my birthday to be more personal information I don’t feel comfortable displaying all the time. I know I could just put my age in my bio or my title but I find that gauche lmao.

smile and heart are unrelated i just wanted to add them
 
If today's birthdays shows users with a birthday then this:

Will not protect that personal information.
lol, that is a good point. On a given day, the odds are 1/365 someone has access to that info. I guess it is how comfortable you are with those odds :loldog

It would be pretty easy to write a script that scrapes it every day without having to do anything.

Lol yes, thank you for seeing that there’s a difference between people knowing today is your birthday and having your full DOB sitting on your public profile year-round

I have to agree with Graw here. If your goal is to hide your birthdate, then both scenarios are completely counterproductive to that.

You both have my full permission to write my birthday down in a little notebook and keep it if you happen to be online and look at the bottom of the website sometime within the next year.

I'll do just that. /j

Birthday plus personal info you may have accidentally said on the forum could be used to dox you. If you use the same username on a different site it becomes even easier. You might think it's not a big deal and it's probably not but I've seen things like that come back and bite people. There's a lot of people on the internet with too much time on their hands and ill intentions. I think adding your real birthday to a site like this is poor opsec period.
 
Solved.
at least we don't sell your data like Facebook or reddit.
Knowing your anon user was born on 01/01/99 is worth absolute nothing.
