Question about Facebook

**~Erin~** · 02-17-2008 10:02 PM

I just recently got a facebook account and I've noticed that you cannot change your birthday year. I've read that because of security reasons you have to send a request into customer support and see if they deny or allow the year to be changed. My question is , is this on everyone account ( not be able to change the birth year? Or to the people over 18 are you able to change your year section of your birthday. I have people telling me they've made a mistake and they can't change it and then to my friends who are 18 and older are allowed to change their date ( like thier able to click and drag the date) instead of going through the trouble of contacting facebook.

So to those who have facebook are you able to change it?

I'm able to change it, and i'm 19. I have the option to change it anywhere from 1910-1990, so i'm guessing that yes, only over 18's have the ability to change it if you cant. That sucks a bit

Look up their help pages or contact their customer service. They'll know for sure.

I got my account way back when and haven't put in a birthdate

I would just write them. It isn't a big deal.

Yeah, it's just one of my friends had been wondering because they had put in the wrong year, so I thought I would take a poll and see if it was an over 18 deal. I've already emailed facebook so it should all work out. Anyway, Thanks for the help

Um, first of all, you joined Facebook...?

And you got your birth date wrong...?

One more strike and you're out, kiddo.

At least it wasn't myspace (a.k.a. the armpit of the internet

)

Myspace as far as personalization, customization, and networking for musicians/artists is second to no one bar none. I've actually networked shows and gotten people that showed up to those shows by promoting through myspace.
