 How about a birthday section on the portal? Don't know if this has been discussed already or not, but that'd be a great addition, IMO.
If I'm not mistaken, the forum software should allow for DOB as one of the optional fields, and that could probably be incorporated into the portal.
Anyone else think it';s a good idea?

Wouldn't something have to be incorporated into the profile info, though?

Mav, I'm not sure about the software, still going through everything with bABA. It should be able to handle it.

Yeah, you'd put the info in your profile, and it should show up there, too, I'd imagine...but also when you enter the portal it would show todays birthdays.
It's a good idea for sure. I'm pretty sure matantonio's been campaigning for it for a while. I'm used to VB and having BDays at the bottom of the forum index, so I'd welcome it.

matatonio made a thread about this earlier...
But, yeah, it's a great idea.

I looked around, and it definitely can be done. I need to wait until bABA settles all the issues with the domain, and then I'll be able to add it, unless there's some opposition to this from other members.
Will keep you guys posted.

Yes great idea! Mat suggested this earlier, and I wanted it then to.

Guys, look at getting a calendar and allowing people to add their own birthdays too it. like http://forum.naturalflux7.com/calendar. ... splaymonth
Vbulleting automatically displays users birthdays at the bottom of the index when they occur.

So I finally got around to it, and (admittedly with some damage to the boards) was able to install the birthday thingie.
You can enter you rbirthday in the profile; other users birthday information for a week ahead will be listed on the front page of the forum. You will also be able to see the poster's age within the message, if the poster specified the age.
I will later work on adding birthdays to the portal.
Peace, Krem

Good work Krem.
Though I would have suggested putting the announcement below the users online.
Either way, good addition.

Well, Krem, I'd lie if I'd say I didn't love you, but the alternative is prolly too PG-13 for Nebs and Impact to handle, so...   _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs.

Now, let's get ourselves an "Arcade" section. You know, Pacman, Asteroids, Breakout, and the like. Or is KJ too big for classic 1980s video games?

I added the birthdays to the portal.
I am looking into adding a calendar to the boards, so if that happens, you obviously will be able to search for birthdays by date.
