Could be a bug but the more likely explanation is that the field doesn’t update until you try to leave it. So you put in a wrong date first, try to leave the field, get error message, then type in valid date and save a pic before leaving the field.
Or they check for MM/DD/YYYY but prompt for DD/MM/YYYY.
Both of these are incorrect. YYYY-MM-DD for life.

Or it expects the user to be 18 and has an awful error.
Ding ding, this is the likely answer. I’ve seen this exact issue before on multiple sites and services, and it’s always been found that the form expects 18+.
Or it checks for the one without spacing and doesn’t remove the whitespace.
Maybe it’s for something 18 and up? Like a banking app
Remind is a communication platform that reaches students and families where they are and supports learning wherever it happens.
There was nothing in the post indicating what app this was and “Remind” is a generic enough word, even if upper-cased, to make the service not obvious. It could be a porn-site for what we know, in which case that date should naturally be rejected.
I’m going to guess they typed 02/17/2008 the first time to denote Feb 17th as is fairly standard with American apps. It then told him it was invalid because there arent 17 months in a year because it was the wrong format. They typed it correctly after and took a screen shot before pressing submit. (Making it so the error was still on screen from the previous bad submission. )
That is all just a guess though.
Do we have a community yet for IAm14AndThisIsFunny?
I don’t understand. OP can you help?
there arent 17 months in the year
It specifically requested DD/MM/YYYY format though.
I think it’s using the daft American date system of m/d/y
But it says ‘DD/MM/YYYY’ just above the input field
EDIT: it’s very possible that the input field library they use uses the American date format by default and they didn’t change it…

Dev: But it works fine on my system!
I’m happy that I taught the BA and project lead learned how to clear all site data for the application I work on. It has reduced the huge amount of
“the issue is still there!”
“Clear the cache”
“It works now”
And yes, I know I should be using something that notifies the browser to invalidate its cache. I’ll add it to my mile long list of tickets.
