So, I entered my birthday to show my age on my profile, but eventually ended up removing it. Not because I'm uncomfortable with displaying my age, but instead because the software got it wrong. Yes, before asked, I double and triple checked. I entered my birthdate 100% correctly. Nevertheless, the site is convinced I'm 26, but I'm not? I'm 27. This is driving me crazy, and I think it needs to be fixed!

I know.
But you'll just have to let it go.

Uhhhhhh...

Thanks for the originality? Seriously, that joke is dead.

Anyway, I posted this topic to let whomever actually has control over this issue know that the issue exits.

^^ I think he was making a reference to your name----if the joke is dead, so is your name.

Anyway, you can find the answer to your OP, here:

That's where questions about site bugs and fixes, go. I think you're suppose to change / to - when entering your birthday, but I can't remember.

WP displays my birthday incorrectly too. I'm 23, but it calculates 22...

Try entering your birthdate as day-month-year instead of what it tells you to do.

At least it doesn't say you're 45 anymore. Remember that?

My age wasn't correct after my birthday until I swapped the day & month fields

Maybe that could be why my age isn't showing correctly?

The Server is in 2015. Set it to your birthyear -1 It'll be like normal. That's if you haven't tried the other approach though mm/dd/yy is the format.

Yeah, can we get this fixed? I turned 21 in August, but the site still says that I'm 20.

Ok. That works. However, the birth date entry form should say dd-mm-yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy. Slashes don't work. Only hyphens do.
