Did you mark the box in your profile for it to show? Go to the Members Area, Change Your Profile, and you can fix it so we know when you wish you happy tidings!

We get quite a few new Members who come in, post a few quick poems, and then never quite find their way back to us. The Birthday page would take half an hour to download if everyone who ever posted in the forums was included on it. Since it doesn't make much sense to wish someone a Happy Birthday if they never see it, the program tries to be selective.

If someone hasn't posted in the current year, they get skipped. That eliminates a lot of older Members who may have once been very active, but have since moved to different pastures.

If someone has less than 100 posts, they also get skipped. The intent, of course, is to not display those who just come and then immediately go, but I'm afraid that's the crack in the desk you seem to be slipping through. Maybe 100 is too high? You're pretty close, though, and February is still months away?

Ah...now see barbaraj? I learned something tonight as well. Keep posting, be a regular, and before you know it, your birthday will be here, as well as our best wishes for you.
