Disappearing Discussions

[F, Calla & Luca]

Discussions fly by in a twinkling lately and I for one think some of them are worth having around longer. And that refers not only to mine : ) Other discussions could disappear instantly and not be missed, no offense to most people intended. I would love to see the birthday area eliminated, who needs to be reminded of birthdays? Some of us think those come too often. So if the birthday area on the front page were eliminated the discussions would have a bigger piece of front page real estate and be visible longer.  After all, who needs to send birthday wishes to Banfield The Pet Hospital, as some did lately. I assume it's some bot that does this automatically.

UPDATE:

If you want to remember particular friends birthdays you can use a service, which is free, to get emails beforehand.

I couldn't agree with you more about silly discussions and your daughter, unless of course you mean my discussions : )

I would suggest the birthday tab idea as well. Then those that care about birthdays can do so to their hearts content. I don't ever look at birthdays hardly, and I also only go right to the forum and usually hit "view discussions" and that shows me all the discussions on and off the front page. But I agree, more than 10 would be nice on the forum page.
