Suggestion

[Tigara]

I don't know if this is the right place to put it, but I have a suggestion. I think that there should be something to click on in your profile that will put up something to show seomeones gender(If they want). It would save many people embarrasment and ackward situations.

i agree. but it will have to be brought to the admin's attention for it to change. & changing these things has a way of bringing the entire site down. i'm sure the admin has a good reason for not changing it already. we shall have to see.

 

but yes. i'm voting yes. =P

[Guest Barmacral]

It would be a cool idea, however, I do not know if it is possible. The forum is made by phpbb, and used by thousands of groups around the globe. One of the people running DM would have to know how to code phpbb at the very least, there's probably a great deal more that one would have to do as well.

As neat of an idea as it would be, it's just not possible. Thousands of lines of code would have to be changed for a few extra 'lines'.

[Silver]

thousands of lines? hardly :P an extra column in the database, and depending on how clean the code is, only a couple a places to change

[SBoydW]

Didn't there used to be a button for that? Or am I just remembering things that never were because it's almost 3AM?

[kait]

there can be. this server isn't hard to change. except that it does take work on the admin's part. so i say we leave it to them. DM can operate with or without it. it just means being careful with the gender jokes - at least for the first two posts.

[loki redfern]

but if your gender wasnt in the list then you would be mighty peeved

[Alarwyn Liande]

Maybe in the next DM incarnation? :P

[loki redfern]

:shock: but...but this one will be forever. i demand it

[SBoydW]

Must live.... FOREVER!

There might be a mod we can install for that. Its a low priority though. You should stop having a girl's name in the mean time. I suggest Turbolumberjack MacGuyver as your new, non-girly name.

[Tigara]

....It's not a girl's name! Lot's of other people have had their gender mistaken. Zardi was thought to be a guy, SBoyd was thought to be a girl. It's an epidemic. *nod nod*

[JenniferL]

You should try acting more butch then, Turbolumberjack. Belch more. scratch yourself a bit. Grab at the underage novices.

[Tigara]

I do act manly...in a 15 year old, oversugared, hyper way. :lol:

 

Can anyone tell me how that red horse got above my avatar?

[Essy]

I have no idea.

 

But whoever did it likes David Hess.

[loki redfern]

what there are underage novices :shock: why was this not clearly signposted :evil: i want my jailbate

[Guest Stefania Sedai]

I'm gonna vote yes because sometimes the spam confuses me. Wait, Sboyd's not a girl????

[Guest Barmacral]

I really hope that you are not joking Stefania, because I want a good reason to laugh at SboydW :lol:

[Guest Emperor]

Soy is a girl though.. right?

[kait]

kaBOMB!

 

okay. stop interfering with my ... um, whatever she is. stef - the thing with the sigs is they change from MB to MB. but the person will probably be consistent.

 

& the gender thing caught me to. it depends on who you ask, see. but boyd is a boy. that's why you're not getting a straight answer from anyone. find yourself someone you know is a boy & you know is a girl. link your sig to them on every MB you are part of. & everything will be good.

 

i know this isn't the way it was done before. it wasn't the way i did it when i was the newbie. but things change =)
