I would like to suggest that you refrain from posting a birthday thread for them if he/she is a member who is inactive or that you never even said a word to (or typed).

Let the members who know them (if they do) to make that thread.

Another suggestion would be that you do something special in the threads, not just say happy birthday and be done with it.

Do something that the birthdayee would enjoy and maybe make him/her feel more special on that day, it only happens once a year you know.

This is just a suggestion but I just feel like it would be worthwile because right now, it seems that the birthday threads are just a "Happy birthday" with a smilie attached to it, I find that slightly boring and short.

And if you dont know what to do ask another member if they can help you in this endavour.

The reason that I keep this as a suggestion is that we have alot of members and birthdays are frequent.

I hope you like the idea.
