You know, every now and again I wish happy birthday to someone who hasn't posted in months, if not years, and they reply with a thank you.

So while most of them probably haven't been active for quite a while, I don't see that as a reason to stop "bothering" with this thread.

That's some good spirit!
I didn't quite understand how do these members get mailed tho,because as far as I can see when usernames are posted--they are not linked. And I can't for example link your username in my post...

They aren't mailed. I don't think there's a way to set up notifications if your name is mentioned. You can subscribe to threads, but there isn't a way to link usernames.

No, but you do get a friendly Happy Birthday message from the forum itself, provided that you've entered a valid DOB.

And a valid email. I haven't used the address I signed up with in almost as long as I've been signed up, so I've completely forgotten about this.

... and provided your email didn't decide back in 2019 that notifications from the Downs qualified as spam. -_-
