Hi Wolf

Hello Found!!!! Good to see you again!!! Yes technical difficulty with the chat a long time now.

welcome to AS

I am so sorry to hear of your recent attack . I wish you had not had such a traumatic crime against you, but I'm glad you found AS (After Silence) as a resource that I hope can be a small part of the kind and compassionate support you deserve to heal from what brought you here. I am glad you are in therapy and are using arts and writing to help you cope. It's understandable that it is still a struggle sometimes to deal with this horrific crime, and again I hope that the people of AS can help you as you work to heal. Strength to you and welcome to AS

Hello Xenon I'm glad you said hello and whenever you like at your own pace you can say more if you wish to or just observe. You're welcome here!!!

Hi Kmkz, Welcome to AS! I hope you will feel supported with kindness here and will realize your own strength and courage as well!!!

Yay!!!

Ah I'm very sorry about that @Solus I would think that the best thing to do now is to post in the help desk area (viewable only between you and moderators/admins) and express you are having difficulty with this issue I do think maybe your bogus date did save though as it says 1867??? You'd be 150 years old in that case and I'm willing to bet you aren't that ancient!!!

@Solus Also sorry this is so complicated but you go to the upper right where your name is, click the drop down then there is an area called settings and you choose "Account Settings" and then it will display a page where on the right it will say "Other Settings" and under that is "Edit Profile" and then you can either enter "not telling" or enter a random date and THEN you must go to the very bottom right of that page and click "Save" for it to take it. See if that works please?

@Solus It looks like it is still showing up on yours? You can try going to birthday and entering 01 01 01 or something like all 000000 or anything it will take that is not the actual date? Or you can enter "not telling" and see if that will work? Also, not sure if maybe there is a box that says "Save changes" on the settings page when you tell it you are not telling?

Hello @Solus and to anyone else with this question!!! Please try going to "settings" which is on the upper right hand of each page on AS (after silence) where your user name is listed and you can get a drop down box for settings. From settings on the right hand of the page it says "Other settings" and "edit profile". If you go to "edit profile" it will have "birthday" which I filled in as "not telling" and then it won't display for others. That said, once you set your birthday to "not telling" it will not display for other people. If you however look at your own profile it will say "Birth Date" and most likely will be the date you provided when you registered. This is NOT visible to everyone, just yourselves! To test this for example I can see on my profile it says a date by "birth date" but I bet if you look at my profile no birth date or birthday will be listed. So you have control and can set your "birthday" to show or not and the "birth date" is only viewable to yourselves and I think to site admin/moderators with whom you set up your AS account. I hope this helps and please let me know here or via pm if you have questions!!! Activist Ally

Of course we remember you Beyond, sorry that you are not doing so well at the moment but welcome back!
