Does it already exist?
Basically it's supposed to be a thread where you can say it's your birthday and other members wish you a happy birthday. If it does not exist then where does this thread belong or would it be wrong because someone didn't get mentioned?

WP really needs a calendar or some such so members birthdays can be displayed on it (providing they put it in their profile).

Or a "Todays Birthdays" list in a sidebar or something.

Could do that but some dislike it if they have a lot of PMs from the community out of their goodness of their hearts unintentionally annoying one that has too many.
I think this is a better idea, that way the people can view the thread and not be bombarded by PM after PM.
Also it's not my birthday for the people who think I made this to get attention.

@Radiofixr - That bothers you, right? As a forum, wouldn't it make it better for a lot of people if it is mentioned? A change that may give you a cause of celebration.

Now directing to the members, would you honestly consider it? Something we have never done to bring more joy for our fellow associates.
