last few days I can see much above-average number of birthday boys (girls?) on the forum...

It happens on a daily basis. Appearently this is popular forum software.
Most of these accounts are never validated due to anti-spam measures, and are deleted after 7 days of inactivity.
We'll see if we can apply some sort of filter on it...

No, they create a new account, use today's date as birthday, and are then stuck, because either they never get the password validation email because of a fake email address, or they are filtered by our auti-spam measures.
So the accounts remain in a validating state, and the board software removes these 7 days after sending the validation email.
I've hacked the forum code so that accounts in validating state are no longer shown in the birthday panel. This should make the list a bit shorter...

there is some users with last activity in 2008 with 0 post. I think, it could be removed too...
Q: how works personal manager on this new forum ?
Eg: I sent message and then I remove it or modify (attachement, text ), before reading by user. What will get user ?

I'm also seeing several spam messages, from members which (according to their profile) have been members since 2009, or even 2007...
(never made any posts before though, so the 'join' date could be fake?)

Let me know if you see that again. Afaik the join date is generated and can not be faked.
If I have such an example I can get that users IP, and check in the logs what that IP has done. Perhaps someone found a way to hack IPB?
