what do you think, a good idea or not??

i guess it would just be some sort of option under your avatar so you could put in gender, it would be optional of course.

i think it would solve a lot of confusion Wink

It would be good, but I don't know if there's anything DarMonkey can do about it

It would be a good idea yeah. Exclamation Lots of times I mixed girl with a boy and boy with a girl and of course my Slytherin co-mate Shadow for who most people think she's a boy. Soo that's really a good idea yeah and I support it.

It's a lot easier to reply to someone if you know what sex they are.

I think it's a good idea. If you don't want people to know, you don't have to include it. Kinda works the same way as location does.

An age indicator would be good too.

YES!!! Too often people call me a girl (so often in fact, that I've put it in my sig). I don't see any cons with this idea either.
