Calendar Question

Ian HamiltonIan Hamilton
edited January 2007 in Chit chat
Does anyone know why the calendar isn't showing my birthday, which is on the 25th of this month. According to the FAQ, it should display it automatically if my date of birth is entered on my profile, but it isn't for some reason.

    Sounds like a bad excuse to advertise that it's your birthday coming up. Don't expect any presents from me.

    Other than that... not sure. Try changing your DOB in your profile to something else, then change it back... see if it turns up.

    Unless you're using American dates, in which case see if your birthday is shown as the first of month... uhm... 25. *cough*.

    I know a lot of forums that have problems with displaying the ages of people born before 1970.

    I did all those things already. Looks like the calendar doesn't like me. :(

    It's just not fair. *grumble*

    You were right, in a sense. :oops:
    For some as yet unexplained reason, you weren't in the Registered Users group, which is a requirement for calendar functions.
    I corrected that, and you do appear now.

    Oh sh*t! The game! I knew there was something I was supposed to be doing!

    It'll be ready for the 25th Aniversary. I just need a speccy to test it on. A gold speccy. With knobs on.

    Here's an old version - though not as old as the 1st version...

    Shaping up nicely there! How about some instructions next time? Took me ages to figure out that I had to drill for the diamonds! :D

    Lurve the various little spot graphic effects in the game - esp the bubbles your thingamajib (saucer?) leaves behind when on wheels. And the starscape is boundless is it? I went up and up and up and after 20 seconds of this I came down and down and down for the same time period (or so I thought)!

    No, not boundless. You'll eventually reach the top. It wraps around left and right (the diamond map is smaller than the actual map - for the moment). That version doesn't have the planets on. Or all the other baddies. Et al.

    He wants instructions! Sod off!
