  • When you have no birthday, your birthday is Jan. 1st

    From Deuc¿@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Jan 2 08:40:15 2026

    If you don't ask for Date of Birth on your board, the DOB field in uedit is blank... but if you log in on Jan. 1st, the board wishes you a Happy Birthday.

    Note: I was talking about the uedit binary above, in `;uedit`, it shows as:
    ```
    Age/Sex/BDay : 0
    ```

    Not sure which of those three values is "0". :smile:

    This appears to be due to the `getbirth*()` functions using `int_range()` which forces a "valid" birthday.
