Before anyone asks, I haven't got any reproducible steps, but this is a general observation I've had.

Basically, for some reason, users' birthdays seem to vanish, it shows 'Not Specified' in profiles. Mine's gone, and I think Dennis' went too:

As I said I don't know exactly when it happened and if I did anything specific to cause it, but IIRC it's happened more than just to me and Dennis. Maybe just something to look out for... I'll keep a closer eye on mine and see if it goes again.

I'm quite sure it was there before my usergroup was changed....
Mine has disappeared too, and it was there before the group change Undecided

Although, briefly playing with the users and groups (changing usergroups, adding usergroups, changing display groups etc.) I can't reproduce. Perhaps it's just happened here?...
So that's both of us having birthdays disappearing after changing usergroup?? Hmm... it could just be here, I've changed usergroups on various live and test forums and it hasn't happened (I don't think...).
Mine appeared to vanish, as well. But for some reason, it shows up on my profile for me Sad I think I'm having a cache conflict with what is and isn't cached.
I can't reproduce it on any of my test boards: one 1.4.4 and another 1.4 Beta. It seems however, my birthdate has been cleared here as well. This probably happened to Dennis as well since he was added to the Management Usergroup. However, this is definitely and only happening with this forum. Not sure what version this forum runs on, but it's definitely something to look into.
Best Regards,
Yeah I can't reproduce anywhere either it doesn't seem, but if it's happened to, what, 4 or 5 of us here whilst changing groups, the cause should ideally be found incase it slips into a release somehow.
Might be IDS being too sensitive
As others said, I'm unable to reproduce it as well.
I just happened to notice earlier today that on my board, my birthday disappeared (I was pretty certain that I had mine set). I'm running mybb 1.4.3, php 5.0.4, mysql 4.1.14 and haven't made any changes recently to my own account.

Others seem to have their birthday still ( I don't know if everyone else does or not ) but mine has definitely vanished.

The only reason the birthdays here were cleared was when members were put on the staff. Are you sure you didn't clear yours by mistake?
