As the schedule currently sits, we are planning on upgrading the forum software to the newest version in the next couple of weeks depending on how the software patching process for the Stories Archive software goes.  As part of that roll out, I'll be changing how we handle new member registration as well as the information available in the profile.  One of the more visible changes is that we are going to remove the birthday and Age in Years fields and replace it with the Age Range demographic option.  Being accurate here is important for safety concerns for our younger members. 

I have deployed the updated fields on site already, but I have not updated the "Profile Completion" prompt yet.  There will be only one mandatory field, which you can update any time starting today.

How posts appear will be changing as well:

Please note that the "Member Title" field goes away that is currently below the Public Display Name.  You can set "Member Title" as your "Topic Display Title" and then stick in whatever title you'd like in the "My Words" field.  Or you can choose "Motto", like shown above. There are other options, go check them out.

Hope this helps!
