BuddyPress.org

Hi nice plugin and great work.

I have couple of queries.

1. when I am writing a short bio in wordpress, it is not showing anywhere.
2. Is it possible to follow a person instead of connecting through friend requests?
3. I want to use * instead of required written in sign up form (for eg.Name(required), I want Name*). Is it possible to amend that?
4. I have added additional field date of birth while sign up but it is showing year down down options till 2037 and accepting it while sign up.

please help me to solve this.
