Todays Birthdays | FAQs | Website | Get Llamas at dAhub
1. What is birthdays and its purpose?
birthdays was created with a sole purpose: To bring deviants birthday greetings when their special day rolls around. Each and every day, we look at the deviantART Birthdays Website and visit each deviants birthdays for that particular day, giving them a little love and well wishes on their birthday.
2. Can I check to see if I am already listed?
Yes, this is quite possible and we do encourage this as a lot of people request to be added and they are already. On the deviantART Birthdays Website there is a search function in the top right-hand corner. Enter your name here and press enter.
3. How can I check to see when a friend's birthday is?
Anyone can check to see if a certain deviant's birthday is listed. All you need to do is use the search function which you will find in the top right hand corner of the deviantART Birthdays Website . Enter the username and hit enter. If they are listed it will show you the date!
4. Can I add my friends to the list to have them suprised on their birthday?
We will not add anyone unless they ask us personally. The reasons for this are privacy. Not everyone wants their birthday known to the entire world (everyone has visible access to the birthdays database). In the past, we have also been flamed from people in cases where friends have added them without permission.
5. Why didn't I receive my greeting?
Quite simple. If you come to birthdays and tell us you haven't received a greeting, it's because you aren't listed. If you're not listed, we will not wish you a happy birthday. We don't know every single member's birthdays so it is impossible for us to give you one if you haven't been listed.
6. My birthday is listed. Why didn't I receive my greeting?
If you know you are infact listed and still didn't receive a birthday greeting, it could be one of a few reasons:
(1) Your birthday has been added incorrectly.
(2) Your username is spelt incorrectly.
(3) You haven't been active on deviantART in quite some time (a couple of months+) and we haven't left you a message because of this.
(4) Your profile page asks that visitors don't leave comments on it.
7. Why am I listed if I did not add myself?
Before the switch over to our new database, it was possible for users to add themselves to the database. That also meant that users were able to enter in friend's usernames as well. Although we asked people not to do this, some indeed did. This would be the reason why you're listed. However, now we have a new database in place, it is no longer possible for users to add themselves which protects unauthorized adding of friends.
8. Why was my username removed from the birthdays list?
Since we now have the ability to remove people from the database, we have been putting this into good use. If you were listed on the database, but noticed that you no longer are, this could be due to several of the following reasons:
- (1) You have been removed due to inactivity. The removal process is usually decided in a few ways. For example, if you have been logged out of deviantART for more than 6 months you will be removed. If we cannot judge by that since some people hide their online status, other things will be taken into account such as if you have a recent birthday greeting on your page from the last year. If this is the case, but you have logged in let's say 5 days ago, you will still be removed. We cannot waste our time wishing people happy birthday that are hardly active and we do not feel comfortable with overloading people's pages with greetings.
- (2) You've changed your username without notifying us. To notify us of a username change, please send us a note with the subject "Username Change" and include your old username, new username, and date of birth
If you have a question for us that isn't listed here, then
please feel free to note us with the question and we shall get
back to you ASAP. Thank you.

Hi there,
Unfortunately our badge is not working with Eclipse profiles. We're hoping to look at how to get it to work soon.

Your badge appears to be working fine: birthdays.24bps.com/badge/Raku…
I guess just make sure that you copied the code correctly. There are two places in the code where you need to replace "username" with "RakuraiKaze". Just double check that both of them have been changed.

If your profile says "Please Reply Here" or asks that visitors not leave comments, then it is assumed that you do not want a birthday greeting posted on your page and we will not leave one.

Is it alright if you clean and hide your comments every once in a while(Every year or so), Will you still comment?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
birthdays In reply to Bunnysjam200 [2019-03-11 22:00:11 +0000 UTC]
We don't tend to follow the rule about hiding comments any more (I might end up deleting that rule actually), so go ahead
Just to forewarn though, if activity is hidden and we can't find any recent activity in posted art or journals, we tend to check comments made by the user on their profile page, so if there aren't any recent ones, you could end up being removed.

The leap year birthdays are still posted on the February page in the database, so we just wish them happy birthday on February 28th during the non-leap years!

I was wondering about something. My birthday badge say my birthday is in three days but it's really in four days. I thought I may have put in my birthday wrong but when I checked it was listed under the correct date. However the top of the page said that today is the 23rd of June. However for me it is the 22nd of June. My time zone setting for deviantart and my own equipment is correct and I've been experiencing no bugs as of late. So why my birthday information a full day off when everything I've checked says it should not be?

You sent your note only 8 hours ago. Typically, note replies take 1-2 days.

You will receive a reply from us once it has been added. We are a team of volunteers that run the database in our own free time. We try to keep up with requests on a daily basis, but unfortunately that isn't always possible. So please allow up to a week for your birthday to be added.

Greetings!
All birthdays are entered manually, and are not officially connected to the official DeviantArt site. If your birthday is 1 month off we will not remove it from the database without reason.

Hi there,
That's right! Include your birth date in the following format for example: November 10th.
Important: Please do not write your birthday as 10/11 for example because different countries switch the dates around.

According to our records, your birthday is April 10th. You were added to our database on April 7, 2017. While we try our hardest to do birthday greetings every single day, we are still just volunteers with full time lives including school, jobs, family and other responsibilities. We get sick, we lose internet, and other things in life just happen that prevent us from being able to be online. So some days we are just unable to do birthday greetings. Since you have only had 1 birthday since you were added to the database, it is likely that your birthday just happened to be one of the days our volunteers were unable to send out birthday greetings. Hopefully you will receive a greeting on your next birthday!

I put my birthday as August 14, 2000 but my real birthday is November 1, 2003
Is there a way to change it? If not, then I'm stuck because DeviantArt won't let me make a new account..
