Birthdays

Since birthdays are automatically listed by our new Invision software, the AVEN Digest will no longer be tracking birthdays.

I was waiting to be listed on Birthdays :(

I seem to have ended up in the gab between new and old software. :(

I can reinstitute the birthday part if people still find it better than what the board does automatically. It's very little trouble for me, I just figured it was redundant.

Thanks, Gatto! That cat is cuuuute! :lol: :lol:

And I feel celebrated now, so no worries. :D :D
