They seem to have had some technical screwups on every web form they have created in this process so far with it not working for entering the virtual event in the first place and now this new form getting dates wrong.

Did they have the same testers as were used for the exam grading?

Got the email.

Dob is wrong on mine too.

In my case it puts my birth year as 1963 ((which actually makes me two years younger😎)

If my guesstimate is correct they have the month in the day field, and the day in the month but because there is more than 12 days in a month it is rolling over to the next year.

The month being the day should be obvious.

It you were born in the first 12 days of the month then the month should be the day number. But if you were born on the 13 then the month will show as January and the year will increase by one.

If your year changed by 2 then I suspect you were born on the 25th-31st of a month.

Deferred to 2021. Would have preferred later, but anything better than nothing!

did anyone manage to change their DOB? I clicked on the calendar icon but couldn't change it. My Month and Day were transposed.

cw - no, but I checked my details on the ‘realbuzzregistrations’ hub where my original VLM registration was stored, and my dob is correct there, so I’m sure it will all work out ok.
