Unfortunately, there is no setting that I can change that will allow you to enter just the day or month. Hopefully, that option or a way to choose from an age range will become available in a future upgrade. Personally, I don't recommend giving out any private information. I think the less a person knows, the better. If someone asks you to provide information that you don't want to give out, tell them that you don't want to give out that info or simply ignore them. If that doesn't work and they persist, report the situation to me immediately. On the Internet, a person can easily provide false information. So, it is important to be wary of anything someone posts. There has been a significant increase in spam and spam bots over the past six months or so. I've read several articles about the issue and all of the software boards are overflowing with people looking for ways to stop the problem. I never used to get spam email in any of my accounts but now I'm getting several messages per day. On this forum, bots are not able to see the email address that you provide at registration. They will not be able to get your email address unless you post it somewhere in the forum. So, if you want someone to email you, I recommend sending that person a private message with your email address. As an extra precaution, I recommend going into your control panel and checking the box next to "Hide my email address from other members" which is located in "Email Settings".
