Gender bug?
 
I don't know whether I'm the only one with that problem, but as I browsed through the forum I noticed that the displayed genders of the members are shown as the opposite of what they really are. And it's only the symbol next to the username, not the gender in the profile.

It's not like I hate being a dude, though.
You boys probably have more troubles now that you became girls! :D

Mudling suggested we bring back the gender symbols that vanished mysteriously a year or so ago.

I suggested it in EL with the joke that we reverse them so guys get female symbols and people of the female persuasion get male symbols.

Alcar clearly liked the idea too much.

I should have listened to this voice that told me that it could be a kinda joke of you guys... :lol:

Omg the majority of this forum are now gurlz.

How bohemian.

Matriar 04-25-2008 07:21 AM

By the way, removing the displayed gender symbols so that it is like before would be great!
I kinda hate pink color pretty much.
Or you guys could change the colors of the gender symbols to something neutral. :)

mudling 04-25-2008 07:31 AM

Well, Alcar certaintly has a unique sence of humour...
But it's great that you guys (and girls) take into account of what we say, and that you finnally did bring in this sytem, it realy does help get rid of alot of confusion.
Oh and I like the blue and pink thing, colours are great, adding more would be complicated, but it would make everyone happy I guess.

All back to normal now :p

Alcar...

OddYouko 04-25-2008 08:46 AM

That's cool. But how is it a bug?

Matriar 04-25-2008 08:48 AM

Urgh, pink! :dead:
Can't you make the boys have ugly pink symbols and we girls can get the nice blue color, please?

Wings of Fire 04-25-2008 08:51 AM

This forum now officially promotes sexism, I am disgusted.

:( I want a pink symbol.

Nate 04-25-2008 09:11 AM

Alcar: why do you listen to Mudling/Splat and ignore the fact that I've been asking you to reinstate the gender symbols for several years?


I'm going to kick your arse tomorrow.

Disreguard this post plsthx.

I hate these things. Why does nobody listen to me for once? I don’t care what someone considers their sex or gender. If it comes to requiring a pronoun (rare), I check their profile. No ugly (pink is ugly) logo cluttering up already overloaded postbits. Bah. Whatever.

Hold on, he was listening to me. I clearly complained about the lack of gender icons in my blog. Stop giving him the credit.

Now Alcar just has to fix those colons.

mudling 04-25-2008 04:58 PM

Well, maybe he wanted more than one person wanting it before he changed it, when he found out Salamander, Splat and I wanted it, aswell as Nate, he had it changed.
Max, I know it may look ugly to some, but it realy helps for clarity purposes, and it is rather annoying in the middle of a post to go back, check their profile, and continue.
*Edit* It appears you're able to remove it, well I guess that means nearly everyone is happy. :D

WHAT? MINE IS STILL WRONG :(

Nate 04-26-2008 02:17 AM

Maybe you're just wrong.

Leto 04-26-2008 03:10 AM

But my other penis is a vagina.

Hear that, Oddey? Vagina.

anyway I missed the actually gender swapping moment, how sad is that... looks like it lasted 52 minutes

Matriar 04-26-2008 07:43 PM

Now I officially have boobs again.

But as long as that ugly pink next to my username exists, I guess that I'll have to change my profile to genderless. Anyone knows that I'm female anyway, and I won't fell offended to be called a dude by people who don't.

Pink is a woman's Drill, which is a man's romance.
