I've always considered showing the year to be dependent on showing the month/day, as over time you effectively reveal your DOB via your age.

only if people stalk you

Agreed.Show year of birth - I'd expect my age to be shown (although it's hard to decipher age from years).
Show month/day - I'd expect to see my birthday without the year
I was actually interested in showing just my age or year of birth, but not my full DOB. Kind of disappointed that I wasn't able to do that, I was even about to report it as a bug, but found this thread. Like said above, they most likely won't know my date and month of birth unless they stalk me, that is, visit my profile everyday. If they happen to do so then I can live with that.I've always considered showing the year to be dependent on showing the month/day, as over time you effectively reveal your DOB via your age.
If it is insisted that it continue to work the way it is, then doesn't it make more sense for the show year of birth checkbox to automatically select the first checkbox as well, or either having that option disabled by default and only enabled when the first checkbox is checked, since selecting the checkbox by itself doesn't do anything.
Totally agree. I've had many questions about this on my site. People expect that checking "Show year of birth" would only show their age, but it just does nothing. Please change this behavior.
