No problem to begin with = no solution needed. Easy.

There is no problem till someone notices there is one

Hahaha. Its as easy as adding a single new variable. Its no biggie plus you are also giving old users something i doubt they will complain about. After all you can only remove years between a very limited range, and its optional.

Even if it ever was hidden on the Profile -- which I just cannot ever see happening -- the info will still always be available via scripts.  LL would never take that away.

Im not saying ovewrite the age variable. No need for that. Im just saying add a "fake age" variable for profile only where u can only remove some years but never able to make it look younger than 5 years old. That fake age is just a front on profile. All scripts will not use that new variable.

OK, I'll bite.  I would place a bet on the fact that nobody you meet will equate your account age with your role-play age.  It is completely unnecessary to worry about it.  If that were not true, there wouldn't be any role-play.  The account age is metadata about your SL presence in the same way that nobody is supposed to incorporate knowledge of how many hit points a role-play character has in their role-play responses.  Anybody doing that is meta-gaming which is bad form and disallowed in actual role-play games.  So just disconnect the account age from the equation and be happy.

That's a terrible idea - no, just no thank you!

Hmm, that you dont like it doesnt make it terrible. Thats just your point of view. Ive never mixed role-play in the equation either. Im talking about actual deceive. The info should still be accesible via scripts though, but not visible at a glance. So its not like you have no way to find out. Still you need to take your time for it. 

Also instead of hidding it, maybe being able to remove some years will do. (Only able to remove and never able to add) just on profile view while actual age is kept and accesible via scripts.

That's dumb. How would I otherwise know when to plan a Rez day party for someone?

You dont need to know the year i joined for that, do you?

[Hide or change the birth date in SL]

So taking into consideration that after so long there is no solution to this im coming up with an idea. Accounts older than 5 years should get an option to hide sl birth on profile. That way you cant tell if the account is 15 years old or just 5. And you can get by telling lies to everyone. Hahaha

So you can have a party of course.

And who dug up the 2 year old thread?  

I did. Got a problem?

[Hide or change the birth date in SL]

My account is probably 13 or 14 yo by now. (Cant remember cos its been many years since i last logged) So if i wanna play under age ill go with i joined when i was 3 year old.

[I can't see certain things on my SL Viewer.]

Same for me.. For exanple, I cant see the watering can on lindo's hud, and cant see certain huds att all. But if i edit them I can see that they are there.  Other huds like vampires systems, excite or open collar work fine for me.

Also cant see most water textures. Last time I checked on my pc with nvidia video card years ago I didnt have a problem.. Now im on a pretty new notebook but just onborad video card though..
