What anchor said and I just took a couple of minutes to check this out.
For anyone interested ...
Go to your Control Panel
and you can make changes here:
Edit Your Details (age, birthdate, location, etc.)
Profile Privacy
Edit Profile Picture

I decided to let my age show.

Scroll on down the page looking on the left side - you can edit all kinds of options.
I like the Minty or green forum skin, so much easier on the eyes, so I made that my default. You can control who sees your visitor messages and on and on.

I don't know if Gareth could make changes that caused the age to show up for Luminari - and Luminari is not sure whether their age was showing before or not. I just know Gareth had made a "global" change that effected everyone - when the date and time changed to how long ago a post was made - and he could have made other changes as well. I've never seen the innards of vBulletin. I didn't even know we had all those options we could control - like how many posts show up per page.

Anyone can PM any member of the forum if you have questions. I'm not going to pester Gareth right now - as he hasn't yet processed the freebies I sent him last night and today. I do have three more to process for a total of 14 so far. So I'm off to do that!
