Ok its not a big issue or anything, but I think it'd be convinient to have an optional male/female option on the forums and profiles, for people who don't have pictures of their avatars. It only occured to me the other day I have no idea what sex half the people on the forums are... As long as its not too hard to add that is

I suppose it matters if you're referring to someone else in the third person, so you want to use the correct gender pronoun, but otherwise, why would anyone need to know?

Or like... those who want to be addressed in something beyond "he" or "she"... I dunno, a funny space called:

Yup that was the main thing that brought it to my attention, several times I have been stuck as to whether to call them he/she, sometimes I log into see their profile but on occasions even that doesn't help.. Or like... those who want to be addressed in something beyond "he" or "she"... I dunno, a funny space called: [HERE'S WHAT I LIKE TO BE CALLED] Great Idea, sounds like the way to go is "pie" a gender? Definatly, especially using Torley's method  _____________________
