that is why I hate Facebook....

If you signed up for a fb acct. you knew what you were getting yourself into. Id be proud if your fb friends said happy birthday to you. Be happy !!!

I don't have my birthday displayed on Facebook because I want to see who are the ones who really remember my birthday. I chose the option to not display it. There was a setting for that before but with the recent changes in Facebook, I don't know if you could do that still.

Well I have closed my facebook, and have absolutely no regrets about doing so. If you have your Facebook account set as private, surely only your friends will hear of your birthday? That isn't so bad is it? You could always try changing your birthday see if it accepts it. I can't see it flagging up any issues. Although I did wonder about changing my name, because I didn't want anyone from my past finding me, wasn't sure if that was allowed.

That is not a problem at all, you can turn off your birthday and hide it from your page. If you change it and people see it, they will greet you on the wrong date,and same as if it was your own birthdate, your feed is flooded with notification that you do not want. my bf had his birthday hidden and it is not showing on his timeline. so last year i greeted him and every one else did haha he said he does not want those hoolaboos but i greeted him in there anyway. ;)

I feel the same way. My birthday was a few days ago and I was at a function at my daughter's school. There were so many people there I did not want my birthday to be announced. One mom came up to me and said "Happy Birthday". I was shocked because she does not know me that well to know the date. So I lit into my daughter saying "I told you not to tell anybody". She said, "but mom, I didn't". That's when I turned to the woman with a questioning looking my eyes and she said, "it was Facebook". I have since read a few of your other responses so I guess I'll put my birthday as private.

Yep, you can change in your security or privacy settings on how some information about yourself is displayed or hidden. But then, since I would assume that you are also Facebook friends with people whom you really know in real life and who knows your real birthdate. They might to choose to drop some birthday greetings on your Facebook which the rest of your friends can easily pick off and then...you know what will happen next.

i am like you. i don't like a big deal about my b-day either. this is why i don't put my real b-day on facebook. i don't know if they will let you change your b-day. if they do, then it's a good idea to change it right before the day comes.

I love all of the happy birthdays but I think there is a way not to show your birthday on there I just don't know where it is.

well dear you can go on your facebook info setting and just put your date of birth private

I'm also doesn't like to make like birthday is a big event to me on facebook anyway there's useless on setting it not to show in timeline cause even you did that FB will still telling your friends on their feed wall, "today is your friends birthday" bla bla bla... well maybe the solution is changing a birthday date when the time is near but if it's allowed, I'm not sure if FB allowed it

i never show my birthday on facebook. i am not on facebook i leave fb up on my handphone i hate fecebook its stupid but i like my friends.amplicate collects opinions of people who rate hate and love facebook.
