I'm 18+, but the registration page says my birthdate is invalid?

Hello! I'm having a bit of a problem with the registration page. I'm trying to register, but when I enter my birthday in the format specified it tells me that it's invalid. I'm old enough to register, so I don't understand what the hang up is. Is there like, some special way it has to be typed in that I don't know about? I used the yyyy/mm/dd format it suggested.

The problem is, I think, that you have to input the date of birth as yyyy-mm-dd as is shown in the registration form. The yyyy/mm/dd form is not valid. So, use a hyphen – not a backslash / .

I am assuming that you are trying to sign up to the archive.

I cannot believe I missed this, lol. Such a simple explanation and yet I somehow never even gave it a thought. And it worked, so thank you times a million!!!
