When creating a new customer account the user is required to input their date of birth.
I've turned off the DOB requirement in the admin panel and I've blanked out the minimum length of the field
What else do I need to do?

This is just a wild guess but I don't have DOB turned on and I have no problem. Do you already have customers with DOB entered into database? Maybe that is interfering? I'm interested now so I'll be back to find out what it is.
Another question, what template are you using?
I'd guess that your commercial template has replaced the standard Zencart Create Account form with its own. Search your template files for dob.
I searched my template files for "dob" and for "date of birth" and found nothing.
I looked at all the options on the template customization page and didn't find anything related to dob.
I Googled Shopfast dob and Shopfast "date of birth" and haven't found anything.
I've also contacted Shopfast to ask if they require a date of birth and have not heard back yet.
Any other suggestions?
