The sign-up process for the forum requires gender and date of birth. I don't terribly much mind declaring my gender, but for security reasons I'd rather not have to declare my date of birth, and I particularly don't want it advertised to all on the forum. Can anything be done about this?

Yup! You can hide it being shown in your profile - Go to "Profile", "Edit Profile", "Privacy", then you can hide it and/or change the date.

If I recall when registering, the hosting site requires you are over a certain age (13 springs to mind, but god knows why). so make sure you are at least 13 and 3/4's old (or whatever the limit is) and you are OK. I'm not sure the date field goes back far enough for 'oldgrumpy' though  |

I'm confused as anyone, why does the members screen show freddie123 as last being online in May sometime when they were clearly online today. My entry and many entries say online today but freddie123 says they were not online last today!. @freddie123 this is not about you I'm just confused that your account has messages attributed today yet it clearly states on my version of the members screen that you were last on ages ago(May 8, 2020 at 8:18pm in fact). Any ideas Ton ⓉⓞⓃ , or am I just reading it wrong. It works ok for benaj who was on earlier today and now is not online. - might as well reply here rather than pollute that thread anymore. IIRC, it's down to a Privacy setting in the profile: Profile > Edit Profile > Privacy > Invisible Makes your online status invisible to all users except certain staff.Again, IIRC, it not only hides the fact you are online, it also 'freezes' the time/date you last appear to have been online.

Yeah I had a look at some of the setting after I blocked the other individual I wondered if it was that but I was not sure even after checking the other settings. Thanks for the steer though, much appreciated...
