fixing age . . .

[sfalexi]

Is there a way this can be coded so that the age is automatically calculated from our DOB? Just that it doesn't fix itself unles you go in there and do it. I just changed my age to the correct one, but it could cause confusion if we're giving advice to someone whose age says "20" but they are "21" (meaning now we can include bars) or something like that.

Some forums do, I don't know about this type of software. It'd be a useful function, though... however, it's really not that difficult to go into your profile and change a number once a year.

By the way, 21 is the legal drinking age in the US... not the age you have to be to get into most bars.

True (about legal drinking age in US), but I just though it'd be useful. And yes it doesn't take much to change it once a year, but I forgot about mine and just changed it yesterday (six months after my birthday). It's just a matter of having it change automatically versus depending on the poster to remember to change it.

Depending on where you live, a lot of places card everyone and throw the younguns out at around 9:00 PM or so. That way waitstaff doesn't have to f*ck around with worry about underaged drinking.

This is not about underage drinking. This topic is about the vBulletin software and what it can do about recording/calculating age.

I think that this program can do that but Admin may have left that field open for manual entry. Good suggestion.
