How does our forum count b'dayz for ppl born on 29th of feb
How is their age counted. Is it counted normally like us

well all it does is get all the users where the birthday column is 29th of february from the mysql db. then it just echos a link to their profile with their name and their age (just one mysql query )

Ok so their age counter increases like ours

I would of thought that the birth date was substracted from the current date.

I think the most logical way would be to use the year subtraction method but then when should the age chage ? 1st of march I guess they would have a problem seeing that they could drink alcohol only at 84 J/k
But seriously when does their age change ?

In a leap year, one year is added on 29th February. Else, one year is added on 1st March. Take a look at fluffy_lobster's profile (and age) for example.
