Incorrect birthdate could not be corrected
Mar 10 2008, 10:44 AM EDT
Windows Explorer 6 SP2 on Windows-XP
I created an account for the C3Developer WIKI with a birthdate of 1/1/2000, and it will not let me in, or let me correct it. I was really born decades earlier.
How can I fix this?

We put in a birthdate check, and the subsequent ban on creating an account, to comply with with Federal law. The failure to meet the required age of 13 is stored in a browser cookie which will expire by itself or can be removed manually. Do you find this valuable?

What is the timeframe in which the cookie will expire? Or what is the name of the cookie so that they can delete it. Do you find this valuable?

We prefer not to publish that here in the forum, so I'll send you a private message shortly.
