I know this was already answered in FAQ, but for some reason it is not working for me, even though I did what it says here.

Quote:
Click "My Account" at the top of the page to edit your profile. Under "Date of Birth", enter your birthdate in mm-dd-yyyy format. Despite what the example to the right may say, you must use hyphens and not slashes, or it will not display correctly in the Author Panel or the profile page.


I used hyphens, and entered it correctly, but I still cant see my Age appear next to my avatar/post count. Any idea why this is not working?

Edit - IF i may add, my location and avatar arent showing up either...

It's on your profile, but not under your avatar. It's confusing why that is and I've only just worked it out myself.

So wrongplanet was on one profile system until about december 2014 (let's call this profile 1)

Then it changed to another (profile 2) but after the amount of bugs the site was having they reverted it back to profile 1 a few months ago

But the data on the forums, as it's on the new layout, is from profile 2. But there's different parts you can edit with each one.

Profile 1: ucp.php (and anything with the forums/ucp.php)
Profile 2: http://wrongplanet.net/your-profile/

For some reason they're not combined and I'd be unable to remove my age and location from displaying for the same reason you can't add your one.

So here are your 2 profiles:

Profile 1: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=111603
Profile 2: http://wrongplanet.net/author/CDFA/

Sorry if this is badly worded.

I didnt understand a thing from everything you just said. So how do I make my avatar, age and location appear near my post count? I want it to appear whenever I make a post. Right now, I only see post count and join date near my posts, nothing more. Are you telling me its literally impossible for me to make them appear? Maybe I need to speak to Alex about this...

Yes, that is what I am saying.

Avatars for forums are on this: ucp.php?i=195

Other than that there is no fix and I explained why. We're all stuck. I found the page to edit it but it redirects.

ucp.php?i=193

This used to be to edit the age and location but it redirects so you can't. It's a bug.

Okay then, pray tell, can you tell me if you can see my avatar next to my posts now? And if yes, what do you see?

I have no idea. He could be fixing it, I have no clue. There were bigger bugs that they fixed, I suppose because it doesn't stop you from posting it was held off or it might not have even been noticed.

Try switching your birth MONTH and your birth DAY. That's what *I* did----for instance, my birthday is 11/02 (November 2nd); to get it to work, I entered my birthday as February 11th (02-11). There'll be an error in the way it shows-up in your profile (mine says I'm a year older than I am); but, at least, it will appear properly under your avatar.

As for your location: IDK how to make that work, cuz I had entered mine, before the system changeover.
