Birthdays and events

[Embis]

I dont want to spoil anyones birthday celebrations, but is there a way I can avoid seeing Birthdays on the Calandar? The events are swamped by Birthday notices. I cant see an option to filter them out, although I am pretty certain it will be an option available to the webmaster.

I think there is also a small potential risk in terms of data protection (not the act) since birthdays are so often a part of online security screening and many people are displaying what appear to be their full names.

 I am sure I am in the minority and will be labelled as a grumpy old man, (which would be a fair assessment of my general character) but I simply dont care when your birthday is.

Many Forum members look at this, and offer birthday wishes. You seem to be the only member who has a problem with it.

Sorry!

It is pretty swamped in MONTH view but if you use either LIST or WEEK view then it separates Birthdays and events and is pretty uncluttered then.

I didn't think anyone put real birthdates in them. Guess that's just coming from a tech background where nobody does!
