Age profile option.

Post by CasualCollision »

A profile option that allows you to display your age on the left side of your post where your avatar, location, gender, et cetera , disabled by default. Enabling it will display your age depending on your birthday. It shouldn't be a hard feat. After all, they managed to get a gender option.

There are people that rather identify as the third option instead of male or female.

But to be on topic, I wouldn't mind seeing the age feature.

I'm set to that because I consider myself gender-neutral. :v

Just because no one else puts their real birthdays or have it displayed doesn't mean that no one would want to use this option.

I wouldn't mind having the option available.

There isnt exactly a reason not to, and it shouldn't be too hard to implement. So yeah, i agree.

^ Pretty much what she said.
But many users will still use a different age regardless.

Wasn't there a point where Drouge was setting his birthdate to the current date for several days in a row so every day we'd see his birthday every day and his age as "0"?

the gender is displayed on the sidebar but age will only be displayed in the actual user profile. Unfortunately there are no plans to change this!

We just got a motto included, do we really want the sidebar to be more of a mashup? Don't get me wrong, I like this feature a lot. Honestly, can we just throw out the location instead? It's misused by 90% of the people anyway and takes up most space. Would make space for this instead. Just my preference though.
