| Alex, I just uploaded a new avatar and it appears to be showing up. I will now re-upload the one I want and hope that one shows up. If you could fix the username problem too that would be great. It would be nice if my nickname would show up in the forum posts instead of my username. After all what's... |

Alex,
My new avatar is already on my profile page. It just wont show up anywhere else.
As a test I will upload a different avatar altogether to see if that takes. If it does then I will re-upload the one I want. |

Alex Plank really needs to get on all the problems this site has had (apparently) since the big upgrade. Surprised it's gone on this long.  |

| I have tried a hard refresh, reboot, Firefox, Chrome, logging out and back in. Nothing works. Seems the site is pretty glitchy these days. Nicknames don't show up either but are required. Weird. The birthday format is screwed up too, but someone told me a work around for that. Wasn't there a massive... |

| use 00-00-0000 format instead of 00/00/0000 and it fixes the problem Thanks. That worked. The site seems pretty glitchy lately. It says to put it in mm/dd/yyyy mode yet that doesn't work. New avatars are not showing up, the nickname vs the username thing. Pretty strange. Anyway, thanks for the tip.... |

| A couple of days ago I uploaded and saved a new avatar (Jadzia Dax from Start Trek: DS9) . It is visible on my account/profile page, BUT it does not show up on posts or comments I make. My old avatar (a stock TMNT from WP) still shows up on posts/comments. How do I get my new avatar to work? Or, how... |

When I signed up for a Wrong Planet account I used a username that can imply I am male unless one is familiar with Star Trek: DS9. Since there is an option for entering a nickname in my account is there a way for the nickname to show up on posts as opposed to my username  |

| It happens a lot. I saw 8 therapists in three cities over 15 years (this is not including the psychiatrists who mostly did meds checks) none of which mentioned aspergers or autism despite the fact that what I was describing to them was classic autism problems. When I finally came to realize though m... |

Which test is it that gives a diagram with the answer that looks something like the included photo? I clicked the link to http://rdos.net/eng/ site, but all I see are a bunch of blog posts about neanderthals.  Thanks

| I don't think AS people are such sweethearts per definition. However, it's still misguided to think that certain (un)desirable behaviours are part of the spectrum when in fact they aren't. If you say ''my brother is such an a*hole and he happens to have AS which complicates it/has some influence'' ... |

| Well, trying to get a response is a whole thing in itself: I mean, if you are living with this person, and they are doing something you would like them to stop, for example stop leaving dirty clothes all over the house, then I would say it's pretty natural to get the response of stopping that from ... |

| My former boyfriend, who may be on the spectrum as well, suggested to me that his granddaughter may be on the spectrum because she is manipulative. So I Googled "manipulation asperger" and found sites that caused me to write the following statement. There is a lot of misinformation, outdated informa... |

| I have an important question with a goal in mind. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Although I am on a fixed income I have the chance to move to another city, because I have no ties to where I am now. I also have no close family, so that frees up my options. My goal is this: I am sure... |
