    Could be a bug but the more likely explanation is that the field doesn’t update until you try to leave it. So you put in a wrong date first, try to leave the field, get error message, then type in valid date and save a pic before leaving the field.

      Or it expects the user to be 18 and has an awful error.

        Ding ding, this is the likely answer. I’ve seen this exact issue before on multiple sites and services, and it’s always been found that the form expects 18+.

      Or they check for MM/DD/YYYY but prompt for DD/MM/YYYY.

        Both of these are incorrect. YYYY-MM-DD for life.

      Or it checks for the one without spacing and doesn’t remove the whitespace.

    Do we have a community yet for IAm14AndThisIsFunny?

    Maybe it’s for something 18 and up? Like a banking app

      Remind is a communication platform that reaches students and families where they are and supports learning wherever it happens.

        There was nothing in the post indicating what app this was and “Remind” is a generic enough word, even if upper-cased, to make the service not obvious. It could be a porn-site for what we know, in which case that date should naturally be rejected.

      I’m going to guess they typed 02/17/2008 the first time to denote Feb 17th as is fairly standard with American apps. It then told him it was invalid because there arent 17 months in a year because it was the wrong format. They typed it correctly after and took a screen shot before pressing submit. (Making it so the error was still on screen from the previous bad submission. )

      That is all just a guess though.

      13 and up due to COPPA.

    Another possible case no one seems to have mentioned. That the CSS doesn’t do that kind of spacing automatically, and that the user manually put in spaces this creating an invalid date for the lulz.

    I saw this Reddit post! Terms of service say you need to be 18 or older to use the service or get your parents to agree for you.

    Just want to say that DD/MM/YYYY is the superior date format. 💪🗓️

    I don’t understand. OP can you help?

      It’s likely the birthday is being rejected for not meeting minimum age to consent to the TOS.

        It specifically requested DD/MM/YYYY format though.

        95% of people are not USian and also, can read the requested date format correctly.

    I think it’s using the daft American date system of m/d/y

    source
    • thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      But it says ‘DD/MM/YYYY’ just above the input field

      source
      • sfgifz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        it’s very possible that the input field library they use uses the American date format by default and they didn’t change it…

        Dev: But it works fine on my system!

    Image Transcription:

    A screenshot from the setup of the Remind mobile application with an image of a calendar and the text

    “What is your birthday?

    This will stay private to you and will help keep Remind safe

    Birthday

    DD/MM/YYYY”

    Followed by a text field that has been filled out with the date “17 / 02 / 2008”.

    Below the text field is the red error text reading “Please enter a valid date”

    [I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please consider providing alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]

    The only thing worse than mm/dd/yyyy is dd/mm/yyyy. Use a bloody different separator if you’re writing dates correctly.

      What wrong with /

      source
      • barsoap@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’s already in use for mm/dd/yyyy. When I see slashes I expect that, when I see dots I expect dd.mm.yyyy, when I see hyphens I expect yyyy-mm-dd.

        And then comes along a random I guess Canuck and writes something totally incomprehensible.
