A way to display birthdays.

[Rozi]

Well, I was thinking that maybe we could have a bar at the bottom which displayed the users whos birthday it was that day. I know the VIP calender used to be an argument in not having this, but seeing as that's no longer possible it's not valid anymore.

I can see the reasons for not having this, the main one being there isn't really a need for it, however, I feel it would be much nicer if we did know, as no one wants their birthday to be ignored. Obviously there will also be a large number of unactive users who have their birthdate entered on the forum, but we could simply just ignore these and just pay attention to the active users

I think it would be a nice little addition to the forum as sometimes it's just nice to make someones day a little bit better

How would you simply just ignore the inactive members birthday?

[Rozi]

By only congratulating the people you know are active, or go on their homepage and see the last time they logged in? Pretty simple really.

[leah]

Yeah I agree with you Rozi, it would be a nice introduction and would improve the atmosphere of the forum.

[Absently]

aw that's really sweet and considerate.

[Mikey]

great idea.

It's very easy for us to filter the birthdays displayed for the active members only.

If there is enough interest in this I will reintroduce this.

Considering there are 30 000+ members and a mere 365 days in a year I imagine it would be a lot to load on the page

would only apply to those who have visited in the last 60 days

Yeah, nice idea
