What a nice surprise. :) On my recent birthday I received an email wishing me a happy birthday from FPG. :) Thanks FPG. :)
Either I wasn't aware, or didn't notice before.
Does everyone else know that you get an automatic email from FPG on your birthday?
"Hello Chrissy,
We at FPGeeks Forum would like to wish you a happy birthday today!"
Interesting. My birthday was last week and I didn’t get an email; FPG must like you more than me.
I don't remember adding my DoB when I signed up. I don't tend to add my real details anyway for privacy/security purposes. :spy:
But that aside, Happy Birthday, Chrissie, and a belated Happy Birthday to Mulrich :D
My birthday was last month and I didn't get an email either (sob).
Younguns
us experienced folk stopped having birthdays decades ago
I keep trying that approach but my wife tells me I have to celebrate my birthday for our kids.Quote:

Thank you Wuddus :) I don't add my year of birth for security purposes, and I have occasionally put "almost birthdays" on some sites when specifically asked.

Given that this forum apparently runs itself maybe the software has evolved and attained self awareness. :wink:Quote:

KrazyIvan, that is an interesting theory and makes me feel better knowing how paranoid I have been over that stupid number my whole life!;)
I have heard that part of it does identify where you were born as well.
Happy Birthday Chrissy! Happy Birthday Mulrich! Happy Birthday Deb!
Thank you. :)Quote:
