Hey guys, this is ShadowFox1001, aka FullOfSyn6661. Over the past few months, we've been having a little trouble on the Mag trying to input our birthdays into the system. So far, at least 4 people have gotten their birthdays BACKWARDS. As in inputting their birth month in the day slot and the birth day in the month slot. So, Papa Syn here is going to take you all by the hand here and show your pretty little faces what this birthday system looks like and how you, too, can get it right like me.

Ok, the first step to this whole process is to click "User Control Panel" underneath the site banner and the menu bar, far to the right. Once you get inside the UCP, click on PROFILE. Yes, you should know how to do this since you did input your birthday, though incorrectly. Now here's the tricky part. In the image below it shows how you input the birthdate:



The DAY of your birthday comes FIRST, and the month comes SECOND. It is PERFECTLY CLEAR where each goes. Plus, if you happen to, you know, check the day's drop down list, you will notice that there is no such thing as a 31st month, much less a 13th. And there aren't just 12 days in a month. So, it is obvious which goes where. Papa Syn certainly hopes that you will no longer make this mistake and hopefully will teach others before they get here so they, too, will not stray off the path of righteousness. That's all for now, catch you the next time some problem like this happens.

Thanks for that helpful and informative post Papa Syn. And yes, I'd like a scoop of sarcasm with my birthday cake

*applause*

Good show, sir.

We've been hoodwinked on several occasions by members who didn't know how to put their birthdays in. They've been fed so many lies in their life that they strayed off the path of truth. I'm just showing them the way out of the darkness.

THIS IS IN VIOLATION OF FORUM RULES 82556 AND IS SCHEDULED FOR DELETION.

RULE 82556 STATES PEOPLE WHO FAIL TO READ DO NOT NEED BE HELPED, AS IT AMUSES THE REST OF US.

PLEASE STAND BY.

I can't believe this actually had to be posted...

Oh the lulz of it all.

One of the things I check first is which drop down list goes past 12. But that's just probably because my birthday is on the 30th day.
