    Hello, Nathan, and Bom Ano Novo to you and your family.

    We seem to have lost our PC Medic John so I am directing this question to you.

    I've been trying to update my profile and I get a message saying ...

    "The date you provided does not seem to be valid. It may be a date in the future or a date that does not exist. Please ensure that you have filled out the form correctly."

    Is this just because we are on a "rollover" of years and should I just wait and try again tomorrow?

    Thank you.

    Just e-mailed you with the same problem. Went to do my monthly update of my avator same process as normal, but when I went to update, first it said I neededd to enter my occupation, when that was done, and went to update, I got the same message as LOL. Just would not allow me to update the profile with the changes.

    Fran, we couldn't do it ... Nathan has done it for me ... in the nicest possible way, of course!

    And a nice one it is indeed, Fran. Is it the Hacquetia? A very unusual flower.

    It's lovely, Fran. Could have sworn it was a Haquetia ... guess I was deceived by flowers still being in bud. They are both winter blooming.

    Sorry just realised that I hadn't explained what I had to change in my profile to get the changing avator to work.

    On my old profile, I had not completed my occupation and date of birth(to show this latter to all and sundry you have to tick the box - I didn't :D ). It is now a requirement to complete.

    So to change avator I added this information, before going to the usual Select a Different Avator, then in the box that pops up - changing the URL address, clicking select this avator, then set this avator, then update profile at the bottom of the page.

    One should never ask a Lady her age ....

    Actually, you don't have to tick the box to show everybody. I have now added my birthdate and not ticked the box and was able to make a change. But maybe I'll go back and tick the box so everyone can send me good wishes on my birthday!
