Suggestion

This is a really simple suggestion, i had a quick browse over the forum but couldn't find the topic already mentioned but i apologise if i am brining up past topic. I noticed that there is no real way on here to tell if a member is male or female. Unless of course you ask them directly.

Perhaps when signing up you could include it as part of the registration process? or even make it something you can choose to change in your profile?

You can even have little icons to represent each gender. Could simply use the male and female icons, little links and zeldas? or even pink and blue zelda fairies.

Just a suggestion though of course.

This is a good idea, I was thinking about that myself.

That doesn't really help anybody and could encourage the whole " ur a girl i r love u " thing but it could easily be implemented.

I can see your point. But i was referred to as 'he' yesterday and i was quite offended. I think it should be a feature each member can choose to display, i'd rather display it than put up with being called 'he' all the time. I know a lot of gamers do tend to be male but i think its a mistake for anyone on the forums to assume all members are male unless they have majorly girly avatars and signatures and even that isn't a sure way to know. I have a male friend who is the girliest person i know, pink everything! So yeah, gender display would be cool.

Your friend sounds like me , the majority of my room is pink, black or white.

I'll talk to dave about having a mod added that shows a little symbol as selected by the user.

( Either male or female )

Feature implemented.
There should be a new option under "Edit Profile". :)

Fantastic, lol. Hopefully i'll never again be mistaken for a guy. At first you know, its just kind of funny and sometimes i even play along. But after a while it just gets annoying having to tell people. A lot of forums do it now and whilst you do get some annoying newbs pestering you over being female at least it fun telling them to go fornicate themselves.

After checking what that word meant in the dictionary, I have now decided it'll be fun having you on the forum

Every time I see someone type, "go fornicate yourself," I always imagine it being said in like this fancy British accent lol. Like, "Juss gao full-knee-Kate yousef!" So I always laugh. XD
