So, I deleted it because I thought it was tacky.
Now, it looks like there are/will be laws demanding that all social networks ask for or even verify ages of their users.
How can I add it back?
The options under create new profile field won’t make a birthday selector.

Maybe that’s key point then: Many of these forums have no reason to be tied to groups.
There is simply no reason for the “Requests and Feedback” Group to exist – at least from the member’s perspective. I’ve beat this drum before, but BP really needs 2 levels of Forums: 1 for large, sitewide discussions, and 1 tied to groups and their more private…[Read more]

@andrea_r Hey there…
Am I missing something? Joining a Group and participating in a discussion are NOT inherently the same thing.
