overheard question for user birthdays

[Reeve of shinra]

One of my mods suggested adding an image in the postbit when its a users birthday ... but I was wondering how much of an overhead in php/mysql this would create. Is the users birthday pulled in the existing postbit query?

[rake]

it's minimal... look in the functions_showthread.php file, construct_posbit() function. it's $post['birthday']. All you need to do is to use date to format the current time and then compare the two strings.
