Why doesn't my signature appear in my messages?

Next time you make a new post, have a look below the message box, underneath the row of smilies - it could be that the "Attach a signature" box there isn't ticked. If it isn't ticked automatically, go to "My Account" page and look for the "Board Preferences -> Edit Posting Defaults" section, where you can set it to always be ticked.

You're welcome!

I like the quote in your signature, Trog. about throwing paint on an invisible monster.

Its a good metaphor for getting diagnosed late in life with aspergers.

Where did you get it (ie do you know who said it?)?

^ I'll have to have a rummage and see if I can get back to you on that. I did a quick search, but it didn't turn up much other than references to my own forum posts - the search is probably a bit literal though, as I think I paraphrased from something much longer.

I have a vague memory of it coming from something I read on a blog when I was first researching my diagnosis, though I don't recall if that was the original source either (I think probably not, as I don't like to blatantly rob such things without giving credit - which of course, I will gladly do if anybody else finds the source in the mean-time.)

I do love it as a metaphor for dealing with "invisible" disabilities. It also reminds me of the monster from one of my favourite films, Forbidden Planet, which came into being invisibly from the central character's psyche, inadvertently affecting the lives of everyone around him (itself a sci-fi re-telling of Shakespeare's The Tempest.)
