Birthdays loaded as the migration date. Fields aren’t editable in the profile settings so users can't change them.
 
No easy fix for this. It appears xenforo requires a dob, and does not give an option to allow editing. Of course we had no dob on the old site - so in the conversion process we used the membership date, for those that had one, otherwise populated with the conversion date.

you can go into your profile setting, and uncheck the show birthday option, so at least your incorrect birthday won’t show. But we may be able to change the title to ‘registration date’ , so it will be a correct date again.

I advise strongly against putting your actual dob on this site ( or Facebook, or any other public facing website). You might as well just email your bank account numbers to hackers@russia.com. This is personally identifiable information that should not be shared,

LOL. Good point. Just kill the field if you can. I already set it to "do not show," but figured I'd mention it as incorrect data.
 
We can’t seem to kill it.
 
I only "fixed" two of them, I'll edit them to yesterday's date.
