There is a calendar feature below the log-in panel, in which you can choose to view events on each day such as new user registrations, birthdays, and holidays.
Also if you click on your username in the log in panel you will see the forum's latest news updates, and at the bottom you will see a panel called "Calendar: Upcoming Events" which shows all of the upcoming birthdays and events.
Happy belated Birthday to our patent contributor Hothorizon, and happy Birthday to NeonCookies (who has also made numerous contributions in the patents board)!
