Tried updating my gender (from blank to male, you dolts, LOL!) and it's not saving it.  :)

In a fair part of this planet the date format is Day/Month/Year, so I am affraid that, just in as in YaBB, a fair ammount of people will this mistake that of course can lead to wrong although valid birthdates.

I'm aware of that. I've had users (mostly from Europe) on my forums reverse the month and the day. I was just pointing out it wasn't a bug.

ahh tnx guys! I hope this will change if you choose another time format because we from Europe always say Day / month / year!

Further confirmed it, and like above, im not female, but odd thing, went to change it back, its marked female there, but male on summary page.  (did change back to male though)

Sure they have  ::), but a habbit is often mightier that the eye (or something like that  :))
IMHO it is not a severe problem, but when it is possible to make it more familiar for european members it would be highly appriciated.

Okay so I made a mistake and it's backwards... I'll fix it.

I'm stickying this only because I can't fix it right now so it will have to wait until I get home.
