Another suggestion?

Post by BionicleMandi121 »

Since we've got a lot of gender confusion going around (especially with the newer members like Gar and Sims), I was thinking maybe we could add a "Gender" thing under our username along with "Location" "Date Joined" etc.?

I just realized we don't have one... o___o
I guess that would be helpful. ^^' Although we make it so clear when people first come, at least to me, I don't see how I could mess them up. But just in case... I think I'll ask. >3

I'm not sure if that's an option on phpbb... I know you can display genders with the other user information on proboards, but I'm not sure if we can do that here. Either way, it doesn't matter much, does it? I've certainly been enjoying the gender confusion issues XD
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I'm pretty sure there's a way with phpbb. [: There's a way with everything, really. xD
But I guess if you really feel strongly about it, signatures will do, or we can deal with the gender confusion.

Well, usually you can tell anyway....

And even if you can't, it's on your profile...

There's really no reason to go wading through code.

It's actually not in the profile. I just checked three other people's, and none of them mention gender. @.@

And to be honest, there are some people that I think are guys, but might be girls. I think I can tell who all the girls are though, and some of the guys are really obviously guys.

Unfortunately, it's not a default option in phpbb and there's no easy to add new field to profiles. I suppose if might be possible if you dig into the code but I don't know php scripting, if I did I would have added a birthday field ages ago.
