I turned 22 a matter of months ago, but for whatever reason my wrongplanet account didn't get the memo. I have my date of birth listed in my account so I would figure my age would reflect that but apparently not. It's not something that I'm losing sleep over, but I was interested in finding out whether anyone else's account lists an inaccurate age for whatever reason.

That's odd but a good idea to change the DOB to reflect the correct age. I think I'll do that too. I dont want people thinking I'm some immature 21 year-old when in reality I'm some immature 22 year-old.

I've never really paid attention to it. I have mine set to a false date anyway (new years' day). It's close enough, as long as nobody's trying to stalk me to figure out my zodiac sign =)

I think, in order for your age to display correctly, you must enter it: month-day-year (xx-xx-xxxx), with hyphens, not / ?

A couple years ago, my age didn't update after my birthday till I swapped the day & month fields. Some other members have had that problem & had it fixed by swapping day & month spots.

I did, but it's only when I did what Kip did that my age was actually correct. It seems wrongplanet is a year behind or something

My birthday was last week and my age rolled over correctly.

I've noticed that my age has been inaccurate, too. I also feel much older than I actually am, could be the stress, could be reality also lagging behind.~

Long ago, before the update, my age used to display correctly. But when the site changed I noticed that it displayed one year less than my actual age.
