| APPEAL: Add Gender to Poster Information
I originally posted this in the Community and Forum Issues subforum, but I don't think anyone looks there, so: Quote: |

Thanks. | Responses Quote: |

Like TheOneCurlyFry. I used to think she was a guy, but look at that! I was wrong. And I don't like being wrong. | Quote: |

PS> snoopy, you thought I was a guy, too? :'(.

I think people can tell what gender I am, but I do agree with you.  | |

Indeed. It is quite obvious that Jman is an android.

Mmm, I enjoy the androdgyny.
I actually think it's a really good idea though. Especially because, *for the most part*, CC users are above having usernames like "HotGurl69" or "RickNinePlus".

Discover your friends' true genders! Vote YES on Proposal 1!

Making the info show up in the posts is a bit trickier and will require some special coding. What should the designator be? Pink or blue dots? Little Mars/Venus icons? Dress/pants icons like airport restrooms? Clean (!) suggestions?

I'm liking the idea of pink/blue dots... especially, if it say "Female/Male" when you scroll over them...

If possible, you could make male usernames show up in blue and female usernames show up in pink.
