    [​IMG] Because I've obviously got too much time on my hands :rolleyes:, I've implemented a small gender indicator for all the members that shows below the reputation bar. This is only visible to logged-in members.

    Your gender is also visible in the About Me tab in your profile, but you have full control over its showing there via your profile privacy settings.

    Finally, you can also choose not to reveal your gender at all (by selecting Undisclosed), in which case you obviously get no icon. Boo-hoo.

    I might push the gender selection through as required at some point, but for now it's an optional selection for existing users. You can select it here.

    The practical uses of these icons in discussions (especially with members with ambiguous or non-gender-specific names, members with avatars opposite of their actual gender and members with no avatars at all) are probably readily apparent.

    Kudos to Catbert for making the icons!

    Tal, go outside. Get drunk. Meet some new people. Start smoking. Do something NOT SP related as you are clearly getting cabin fever!

    Saber, now you know! We still aren't sure about you though...

    Silvery, actually I've had way too little time for SP for quite some time now...

    That's nice. That will prevent some embarrassing confusions in the future (like that time when I thought Celtic Dream was a guy). :o

    Finally we will find out whether or not Splunge is a woman. That would explain the claim of not looking like the avatar.

    You mean you actually have a life?!? Oooh, not sure about that. I mean, it was ok for you to have a life when it was MY suggestion but not sure if it's allowed otherwise! :lol:

    Meh...as long as I get to be the pitcher and not the catcher... :p

    Seriously though, I've tried the whole nerd + geek (me) relationship...and it's just plain boring and annoying. It only lasted 2 weeks before I had enough.

    I know you meant this to be ironic, but you know, you are implementing a gender icon, of all things... :p

    You'll have to ask Tal to create a "Both" symbol, I guess.
