Try it first as dd-mm-yyyy (no spaces) - so today would be 13-03-2024 and if that fails, try it as mm-dd-yyyy (today as 03-13-2024).

Yes, any dating system that uses anything other than the ISO-8601 format of "yyyy-mm-dd" is wrong, but we must learn to adapt to what is available.

^ Agreed. That's an ISO standard for a sound reasons - easily sortable being one of them.

I see you still have no age showing - have you tried the suggestions given earlier?

No. I don't want it to be the wrong date, and I know I'll be told my opinion is wrong again

It will be the wrong date if the suggestions for fixing it haven't been used.
Up to you. :shrug:

it's not an opinion, it's how the website is programmed to be?

So I tried 3/5/2003... still nothing.

It's dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy - as I explained above...
Literally; exactly as shown.

The '0' is necessary for dates that are <10

I'm just saying that in case you didn't figure out that already.

There needs to be 10 digits you put as the date, two for day, two for month and four digits for the year. You cannot abbreviate.

And you need to use a hyphen between dd-mm-yyyy

(not a forward slash / )

In my experience, the profile section indicates mm-dd-yyyy to be the correct format, but the age which shows up actually correlates to dd-mm-yyyy

d = day
m = month
y = year

You can't really go wrong with this unless there is some genuine error going on.
