Samurai Equine 54,989 Wednesday at 04:15 AM Share Wednesday at 04:15 AM I'd like to suggest adding a "More" button to the Birthdays listing on the side of the front page. To illustrate my suggestion, I've made some mock-up images. Clicking "More" would bring up a soft in-browser window listing all the users who are celebrating their birthdays on the same day. (Image does not reflect any real users on this forum.) This way, no one will feel like they are getting phased out just because the Birthdays widget mentioned 5 other users instead. I'd also like to think that this will encourage more socializing and potential friend making. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I have missed users birthdays even with @Denim&Venöm's status updates because those get lost if I'm too late.🙁 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitobit 2,181 Wednesday at 04:46 AM Share Wednesday at 04:46 AM If possible, maybe we should also stop showing people who haven't visited for years. They probably won't see the wishes anyway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing birthdays for old users I haven’t seen in YEARS does make me sad but I do still wish them a happy birthday to show they’re missed even when it feels like they’re never visiting again. ☹️ @Samurai Equine with a little “birthday” icon like a party hat or cake around your name like a one day badge.

Snow 8,518 Wednesday at 08:34 AM Share Wednesday at 08:34 AM I am very much in favor of both having the option to see all birthdays and having the birthday list based on most recently online. May I put forward the suggestion for a friends birthday notification option for when it is a friend’s or someone you are following’s birthday? 4 beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe, if there was a way to opt-out of having your name on the list, that might be something to consider. Not sure who would want to opt-out, but maybe some users just wouldn't want their name listed or wouldn't want their birth date to be known. 16 hours ago, Sparklefan1234 said: Seeing birthdays for old users I haven’t seen in YEARS does make me sad but I do still wish them a happy birthday to show they’re missed even when it feels like they’re never visiting again. ☹️ @Samurai Equine with a little “birthday” icon like a party hat or cake around your name like a one day badge. YES!! I love that idea! A birthday icon next to the username. Maybe I should make a mock-up image of that as well. 13 hours ago, Snow said: I am very much in favor of both having the option to see all birthdays and having the birthday list based on most recently online.

Guess I'll need to make a mock-up of that too. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notifications for Friends List birthdays would be SO HELPFUL because the little sidebar only shows a few of the users. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Equine 54,989 yesterday at 06:15 AM Author Share yesterday at 06:15 AM Behold, some additional mock-up images~! This is a basic idea of what @Sparklefan1234 suggested, a party hat image/icon next to the username. I even added a visible tag that says "Happy Birthday!", which would only be visible for the one day. And as @Snow suggested, we could also have a Notification when users that we follow are celebrating their birthday. Not sure if it's possible, but having that notification in a different color would be a nice touch too! (And I used Cash In for the mock-up image because it's fun. ) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One color when someone you follow posts something, another when a thread you follow gets a response, another when you get tagged. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you chose @Cash In as your example for a notification has me cracking up because of his fun-hating gimmick! 🤣 Edited 19 hours ago by Sparklefan1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
