I understand the legal standpoint and requirement to verify the age of people watching a trailer, but it's always been my opinion that when you're already a member of a site (especially a paying one!), and have given your details (including a date of birth) already, you should not need to re-clarify your age.
YouTube has been doing this for years now, and it should not be too hard a system to put in place. When a member who has already registered an age above the minimum limit for the trailer being shown goes to access it, the site could recognise it and bypass that irritation for them.

Thoughts/opinions? I realise it's only a small annoyance but it seems to me one that could be easily avoided.

I guess they could add that for pubclub, but it's just a small annoyance that I've learned to accept. It'd be hell for the tech team to fix it, I'd assume, and it doesn't take much time anyway, so why not do it?

I will do, just thought I might see if general opinion agreed with me first!

Tiny annoyance. Like, really tiny. As in, I barely notice it. Not worth complaining about.

It wouldn't take very much coding to get the trailer to reference the member's details from a database. But honestly, it's more work for them do code that in that is is for me to just click a couple dropdown menus every once in awhile.
