Wasn't there a time when all Fetchies with a birthday that day were listed on the Home page?

I’ve not seen that for a long time. Maybe there are too many now for it to work.

I think Fetch stopped it when the new GDPR came into force iirc

but we don't use our real names so that wouldn't affect us would it?

I think it was something to do with Fetch not wanting to make personal data (DOB) public? It was a while ago so can't remember exactly. You still get a birthday banner on your home page on the day but I don't think anyone else can see it.

Most users don't use full names, however, if somebody wanted to find it out in many cases it may be relatively easy to find out (e.g. using your Race results to look up your finish times, etc).

I never use my real dob to sign up for web stuff.

Got something to say?

I went out training today and having returned, l logged into the site. It occurred to me that, given it's my birthday, that I might have earned a badge for training on my birthday. But it seems there is no such thing. Perhaps there ought to be?
