There must be some people here who don't want their birthdays observed. Or maybe it isn't generally known that if you put your birthdate (you don't need to include the year) in your Profile, it will show up on the Calendar here, and someone will probably remember your birthday.
You can choose "Hide age and date of birth" and it just won't show up.
However, I know some people's birthdays here even though they're not shown in the Profile information. Sometimes I post a birthday thread for these people without their permission, and I hope that anyone who doesn't want a birthday mentioned will let me know. Or maybe I should contact the person beforehand to find out if it's all right to put up a birthday thread?
This may seem like a small matter but I've found that people do care about their birthdays and how they're observed (or not observed).
