Re: Birthday listings?

1. You must be logged in
2. They are on the index page (I'm fairly certain but can't be sure since there are apparently no July 1 birthdays)
3. Times (and therefore dates) are UTC (that means England...Greenwich Mean Time)
1. So...if you are not logged in you won't see them
2. If you are not on the index page you won't see them
3. If it's past midnight UTC (in England) you won't see a listing for what is still someone's birthday in the US because of the time difference.
When you are logged in, you can set the time for your time zone on the User Control Panel, but when you're not logged in, all times are UTC (Greenwich Mean Time). If a birthday is June 30, by midnight that day in England, it will no longer display, no matter what settings you have. In other words, all birthdays are listed only from midnight to 11:59 ENGLISH TIME on the date in question. It's only 9:15 pm in California this June 30...but it's the wee hours of July 1 in England. So, Kate's b'day listing has dropped off because it's now July 1 in England.
I know there are several birthdays coming up in the next week or so...but they will not show if the info is not listed on the profile page.
Those of you who enjoy birthdays (I "really like birthdays"!)...please input at least the month and day of your birth so we can celebrate you!!! (And it's nice to have the option of passing on the year!)
