Hi, i cannot find anywhere to post this problem with this forum, so i post it in this section.
I signed up, and I am tring to edit my profile, but when i make a change, for example the timezone, or change someting in notifications, and i push the 'save changes' button, i get the error 'You have entered an invalid birthday'.

My birthday is entered when signing up. Feb 18, 1971. And cannot be changed in my profile. So why is it an invalid date?
Probably something to do with my location? I live in The Netherlands, and we have another format for dates. It is dd-mm-yyyy in our culture. So my birthday in The Netherlands is 18-02-1971. In english / american it is 02-18-1971.

I too receive this error message when trying to make changes to my user settings. Given that my day of birth (21) is equal to or greater than 12 like yours, your hypothesis for why the invalid date error is being shown has further circumstantial evidence to support it. For anyone who has (input) a birth date where your day of birth is less than or equal to 12, please reply to this thread to let us know if you receive the same or a comparable error.

That said, changes I make to my user settings are applied despite the error -- and the reasonable inference that changes made have, in fact, not been made.

Im getting the same problem recently, my birthday is 15th of Feb (although it somehow got entered as 02/02 in the forum) but anyway it says the Invalid Birthday error when i try to change my password or anything and changes are impossible to apply.

I'll take a look at your accounts and let you know if I find anything out of the ordinary. I can at least fix your birthdays.

It turns out that this is an issue with vBulletin. For now it looks like we cannot correct this and that you will have to ignore it. I'll keep my eye out for a fix.

Hi, is it possible for you to change my birthday as you mentioned before? Or is it not possible due to the bug you mentioned above? Because i still cannot change anything in my profile because of my invalid birthday.

I don't believe there is the birthday itself, I tried editing my user page so I can get email notifications regularly on new posts but I got the same error message.

I have the same problem, I would like to have my time zone changed to Central, but it errors that my birthday is invalid, when it is correct, and not even on the same settings page as the time zone. Can you correct my time zone as it makes it frustrating to try and interpret when threads were posted.
