Use D.o.B instead of age

[akashjatangi]

I think if we're thinking long term then having a person's D.o.B can help us calculate age at any point in the future. If I just take the age then it'll be hard to say what to consider say 6 months later or a year later. Also, not very happy with the whole UI right now. Lets brainstorm on that.

Gotcha. I have asked a question regarding this problem on UX stackexchange and there are some very interesting suggestions there. Adding the link, have a look: http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/85914/should-i-ask-the-user-to-enter-their-age-or-their-birthday

Reading the suggestions, I am keeping this issue open for now. Date picker is a little inconvenient (I hate it personally). The wheel option sounds fun,

I like the idea of just allowing them to select the year of birth! What say?

Yup. year of birth will be perfect I guess. No need for other random things. A wheel for year of birth? I like the selection via wheel concept!

I'm not able to see that wheel thing. What is it?

Like an iPod wheel for selection.

[akashjatangi]

Hmmm. But on a touch screen, would tht be as appealing? Also, do we have the code for that?

We've decided on using the Y.o.B right? Hence closing this.

[siddhantjain]

I will close once it's changed. Let it be open for now.
