TalkTalk forum - registering

I've just joined talktalk and want to register on their members forum.

It said I would just need customer numbers but when I go to register it is asking for my date of birth. Is this correct? I hate giving this out if not necessary - and no, it's not because of revealing my age................

    It is normal for that site to ask that question,probably as extra security.
    Sometimes if you have a query about your account,they ask you to give them details via a PM and they have to be certain the person registered is who they say they are.
    Hope this explains it.

    can always make it up, but then if you forget it - then you lose that extra security - plus, if they link it to a TalkTalk phone/broadband account then they may not link up correctly, and possibly get flagged up
