It would be very useful to have year collected in our Forum as it is important for us to know what our age spread is.
This is vital for us as it allows us to audit how inclusive of both the younger and older age groups in our professional area (both tend to be under-represented) we are. However, it is pretty tricky to get right in a conventional user_field.
I do note that the Custom Wizard Plugin allows this sort of input, but I’m greedy and would like to take advantage of the other Cakeday Plugin features!
