Would be nice if the birth year were adjustable.
Interesting, can't enter a birthday before 1916. What if I was over 100?
Why birth year is not enough? Or birth year and month :)
Age Laws worry about dates. They don't care about leap years, time of birth or timezones.
Just claim you were born years earlier, tada!
The parent comment mentioned birth year, not birthday
Or simply chose 1st january 1970 as your date of birth
Makes it easier for people born in 1987.
and I'm over 100 years old on some sites that demand a birth date to register
At first I didn't even notice that you can give it year of birth and I was wondering how it knows when I was born.
