    In the Statistics section of the forum, would it be too difficult to add the average member age to the existing statistics? Not that it's very important, nor 100% accurate (people don't always put their correct BD). I just think it'd be an interesting snippet of info. :)

    interesting, I think I *might* be able to do this my self! though it adds a extra query to the index page!

    Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with people not including their birthdays at all? I wonder if those cases can be filtered out of the data set...

    You can filter.

    We could even write the thing ourselves.

    heres the code in php/mysql

    PHP:
    // average age 
    $result=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT YEAR(NOW())-AVG(YEAR(birthday)) AS avgage FROM user WHERE YEAR(birthday) <> 0"); 
    $age=$result['avgage'];
    what it does it take the current year - the average year of birth, which should give the average age!
