When a user registers for my forum, there is a checkbox under the Birthday field. The checkbox does not have any title or explanation. I collect birthday information, but do not require it. Can anyone tell me why the checkbox is appearing, what it is for, and how I can eliminate it?

Maybe your Style settings are preventing it from being visible (highlight the area and see if you can read the text)
It's probably the "Show birthday in calendar and profile" option
PS - I like how you don't need to fill out the year now, to have your birthday saved for the calendar

Good suggestion - I hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately, I tried to highlight the area, but it really is blank.

I was attempting to visit your test site to see this for myself, but it seems you're not accepting registrations...

I'm not sure why my forum wasn't accepting your registration, but it seems to be working ok now. The forums are at
www.usawks.com/forums/ubbthreads.php . Also, I've tried toggling the birthday item between "Required" and "Optional," but it doesn't change the blank item. Here is what it looks like:

Yeah, did you edit any language files?
This
is weird...!
<td class="alt-1" width="50%">
</td>
<td class="alt-1" width="50%">
<input name="USER_PUBLIC_BIRTHDAY" value="1" class="form-checkbox" type="checkbox">
</td>
</tr>
All I can say is, works for me...!

Running 7.0 final. I'm new to UBB.threads, just recently moved from UBB.classic. Would the script that transferred my forum from classic to threads have anything to do with it?

This is actually a bug. If you don't have the checkbox checked to show birthdays in the calendar then the language string is empty.

Is there any way that I can have the birthday checkbox checked by default?
This
should work... add " CHECKED " to
LINE 289:
<input type="checkbox" name="USER_PUBLIC_BIRTHDAY" value="1" class="form-checkbox"
CHECKED />

Rick said that the bug occurs when
"If you don't have the checkbox checked to show birthdays in the calendar"
Where can I find the checkbox option to show birthdays in the calendar?
