Birthdays - Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - Forum

Ella · 01-20-2008, 21:05

Last week it was Anja's birthday, and we were able to see that cute cake next to her name at the bottom of the start-page. Wasn't that nice?! (I just love the possibilities of this forum

)

Okay! But we will only see this little cake with people's names at their birthday, if they have chosen this option in edit profile (User CP).
I'm telling you this because I noticed that there are only a few birthdays in the calender. Of course it's completely up to you if you want to hide your birthday (I display my birthday, but hide my age

), but I thought: maybe people don't know about this option, and would actually like to have a little birthday-cake-reminder-of-their-birthday at their birthday.

That's why I thought I should tell you this. Just in case.

Oh, and btw: guests can not see what's in the calender.

Ella, too funny you mentioned this because I was thinking about this too this morning... "why's Sophy not in the calendar?", so I found the "display birthday and month" option, which was perfect!

Lizzie · 01-20-2008, 21:13

Thank you for the information Ella.

I think the cake is cute too!

Edit: wow, that rocks (I just looked at the calendar).

A Pierce for this forum program!

I added my age and birthday to the profile. Thanks for reminding me with this thread.
I don´t hide my age so far - so I have a chance to get used to it.

Ella · 01-20-2008, 21:15

Ha! Then it was good that I posted this. I mean, too late for you (Sophy), because you found it yourself

, but maybe others needed the hint.

Btw: I just checked again if guests can see the calender or not. Actually they could

, but now they definitedly can't.

(this is a guest who wants to see all our birthdays. Ha! Not anymore!!!

)

Amy · 01-20-2008, 22:58

I just 'activated' mine...I had put my day/year of birth, but hadn't activated to actually appear on the calendar! Thanks for the hint, Ella!

Sophy · 01-20-2008, 23:18

Aww "Sophy" is always a lovely reason for editing a post

Lizzie · 01-21-2008, 11:32

Nothing anymore

Ella · 01-21-2008, 11:56

What do they think?

I don't know what they think, unless they register and tell me.

We discuss no secrets in those threads.

Kurt · 01-21-2008, 13:15

Ella,

I am unable to change the birthday thing. Would you please change mine to show b-day and age?

I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe not "buy you a present" appreciate, but it would be nice.

Kurt

Ella · 01-21-2008, 14:09

Okay, it's done.

But I wonder why you couldn't change it. Hmmm ...

Jen · 01-24-2008, 00:24

I'll try to change mine too. It's a nice idea, because I was wondering how Anja got that cute little birthday cake too!

Barbie · 01-24-2008, 00:33

I got mine to work, finally! Looks like there is at least one b-day per month, except for July and September...maybe some new faces will fill those in!

Because I´m just that special

I actually thought the birthday cake was really neat so I´m glad to see everyone thinks it´s a good idea too..

Gemma · 09-25-2008, 02:25

Oops, I was so sleepy when I introduced my birthday I mistook the date, I was born in January, not in February, is there any way to change it? Help me please! I can't find an edit tag anywhere
