How to find out who are Admins?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user seeking to modify their birthday on a forum but facing delays in receiving a response from the administrator, Greg Bernhardt. Other users confirm that only Greg can make such changes, as non-moderators are unable to edit their own birthdates. After nearly a month of waiting, the user expresses patience, acknowledging that Greg might have been busy or away. Eventually, another user offers assistance, confirming they can help with the change, and the original user later states that Greg has successfully updated their birthday. The conversation highlights the challenges of reaching forum administrators and the limitations placed on regular users regarding profile modifications.

pretty sure he's probably the only one that can do that for you. Don't think the other mentors are able to
@mfb, @Drakkith ??

OK
as you can see I tagged a couple of mentors, hopefully one of them will respond with some thoughts :smile:

I'm not aware of any way that I can change profile information. I'd expect Greg to be the only one who can do that.

This might have been while he was away on vacation.

Paging @Greg Bernhardt. Come in please!

He's back. Your message was probably just lost in the flood of other things he had to do when he returned.

Can you not edit your own date of birth by going to My PF, Personal Details and editing the date? I just tried and can do it but that could be because I'm a mod.

Non-Mods can't do that. If they look at their info, where their birth dates are displayed, they'll see this message "Once your birthday has been entered, it cannot be changed. Please contact an administrator if it is incorrect."

Zz.

@GW150914, I am able to do that. The birthdate that is shown in your profile is Aug. 27th. What did you want to change this to?
