The account was created with a date of birth under 13 years of age.

If you listed the date of birth on your account as under the age of 13, you will be unable to access certain areas of Yahoo!.

Yahoo! limits the activities that a user may participate in on our site and prohibits editing of account information for accounts registered under the age of 13.

Accounts that are registered as under the age of 13 are not permitted to: 

• Create a Flickr account

• Post or reply to a Yahoo! Personals ad

• Edit account information such as security questions or alternate email address

For security reasons, it is our policy not to alter the birth date listed in our users' account information. However, when the account reaches the age of 13, the above limits will be automatically removed. We do not make any exceptions to this rule, but if you would like to create a new account with a correct birth date, please feel free to do so.
