Whatever it is it only started occurring recently.

 

It sure is..

 

The issue is both simple and complex. Your birthdate is stored correctly in the database, it's just not displayed correctly in your profile (the only place it is displayed). Dec 31, 1969 00:00 is a special date. It's the date the UNIX operating system was born and known as the Epoch. Every date thereafter is represented by a "timestamp", the number of seconds that have passed since then.

For some reason the date in the database is being converted to a UNIX timestamp before being displayed. That's a problem for those with birthdays before the Epoch (including me). It's not something we've done, it's a bug that has been there for a long time (hence the same problem on honda-pilot.org). I think you are just noticing it now.

We've fixed the bug and the fix will go into the production site shortly.

 

Thank you, cthree.
