IT doesn't work, I put to show my age and checked all the boxes, saved, logged out, cleared cookies.

 

[Atom Smasher]

It's showing when I click your name, and that's enough. Thanks. It will probably start showing under your avatar eventually. Thanks for the cooperation.

If you select "Show year of birth" in your privacy settings your age should show up in the info area under your avatar.

Dear Atom,
So firstly how does one get to Privacy Settings please?

 

[Scaramouche]

Dear Atom,
I have worked it out...Thanks!

Just start knocking posts off that don't comply. This has been a 'rule' for years and it has never been enforced.

 

[Atom Smasher]

It's being enforced now, although I've enforced it quite aggressively during my tenure as moderator. Thanks for the tip, but that's what we're doing. Since many members' ages didn't translate over to the new system we're trying to give them a chance to insert their ages themselves. I message the vets whose ages didn't convert over and immediately delete posts from the newer members.

Fair warning is fair.

I didn't know about the age glitch.

If you select "Show year of birth" in your privacy settings your age should show up in the info area under your avatar.

I have that checked, and mine isn't showing up. I don't understand the problem.

 

[Atom Smasher]

I know. If you put your age in underneath the "location" section (where it says "age") it will show. When you only use the "Year of Birth" option, it the age shows in a popup when your name is clicked but it doesn't show under your avatar.

Best rule of thumb is to put it in the "Age" a few lines down from the "location" field. The system knocked a couple years off my age which was nice for a few days. Now I'm back to 58.

 

[Bible_Belt]

I'll be in cow field 39 if anyone needs me.
