So your age doesn't update automatically on your profile then?

Surely there is a way of doing that? I'm on another forum where you just enter your DoB and your age is displayed automatically and updated when you have a birthday.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to stay 37 for ever, but... it feels kind of dishonest!!

No we don't ask for DoB. Whatever you put in that fields gets displayed as is. Some people would rather put "somewhere around 40" and so on rather than a bare number. We did think about auto-update but decided against - one should never ask a lady her age (or summink - must find that nancy mitford book).

Can it go back a year on each birthday? I would like that!
