        @MyMirror go to the module folder and do

        git pull

        to get underlined header just add the header to the config

        {
                module: "birthdaylist",
                position:'top_left',
                header:"birthday list header",
                config: {
        					language: "en",
        					dimmEntries:true,  // true: dims entries and the associated
        							     //       symbol when the date has expired.
        						             // false: dont display entries and the associated
        							     //        symbol when the date has expired.
        					initialLoadDelay: 0, // How many seconds to wait on a fresh start up.
        							     // This is to prevent collision with all other modules also
        							     // loading all at the same time. This only happens once,
        							     // when the mirror first starts up.
        					updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
        							     // This is to prevent collision with other
        							     // modules refreshing at the same time.
        					currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
        					maxEntries: 0,	     // maximum entries to show, default is all
        					dateFormat: '',	     // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
        					ageFormat:'',	     // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
        					debug:false
                        }
        }
        

        for year end wrap around, set
        currentMonthOnly:false,

                                  updateDelay: 5,                 // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh

                                  currentMonthOnly: false,        // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
                                  maxEntries: 10,                 // maximum entries to show, default is all

                                  }
                          },
                  
                  10 maxEntries just for the test, if this works, i would go to 4.
                  On my screen I get this:
                  ![screenshot](https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/CBHojVsL)
                  So ... only 3 entries and i took your example

                            No, i took your example after getting no output of mine.
                            So the only changes are in the config regarding the currentMonthOnly and the max Entries.
                            Hmmm :confused_face:

                                  Add this:

                                    @MyMirror that second line shouldbe there already, do this

                                    cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist
                                    git checkout data/bdl.csv
                                    

                                    then look at the file again

                                    it should start like mine
                                    suzie on the second line

                                            no, I trim off blanks… allow for sloppy editing/pasting

                                            all entries have to have the same date format
