My date of birth has changed

I found that in these new forums, you can't change your date of birth once you have entered it. Why is it so?

It only says:

Your date of birth and age are displayed in several places on the forum. Only the administrator will have access to your date of birth should you choose to hide it via the privacy option below.
Please contact the Administrator if your date of birth has changed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't DOB the one thing about somebody that can never change? :

I expect it's to stop people altering them to April 1st for a joke.

Well, actually this is not quite so. Some people use the Chinese callendar, and this then changes on our callendar each year.

I expect Erki is just trying to amend it to show his official birthday, he has two, just like the Queen

Actually I wanted the forum show my birth day but not the year, however, in CP, you can only choose to show both, neither or only year, but not "only day and month".
