Bug report

[alsih2o]

When I went to modify my email address in my profile I pushed the button and got-

"vBulletin Message
You have entered an invalid birthday."

I wasn't trying to do my birthday, but to modify my email addy. This happened 3 times.

Birthday is a required field now. So if it was previously blank it needs filled in (though the year can be left blank if I recall) before it will let you save any changes/updates to your profile.

I do believe that is the problem, yeah.

Why is it required?

something similar hit me a few years ago when i took some people off my ignore list. when i tried to add them back an hour later. i got a message saying i couldn't add them to it b/c they had mod/admin powers.

been kickin' myself ever since.

Why is it required?

COPPA compliance I suppose - I don't really know why - it was changed at the code level by Jelsoft during the last upgrade and I don't know if it remains this way in 3.5, which I'm currently studying.

Good news on that front - conversion to 3.5 may not take as long as I previously feared.

Why is it required?

From this thread it is apparently due to COPPA.

EDIT: Michael beat me to it my mere seconds....

It is possible for an admin to add a block to your ignore list from the admincp panel or by using a query - but I'd need to know who and I'd need Russ' clearance. You need to PM me as to who, and I'll add you even if it's me
