That being said, I have no idea what my profile gender is. I'm still struggling with not having a mobile version to post from. If you don't know my gender yet, stick around it won't take long to figure out. Wink

You have your gender selection as "Female":

And I knew your gender from some of your posts.  Or, more accurately, I knew what gender you indicated you were from your posts.  Wink


If anyone is interested in doing an experiment, one may wish to sign up at a forum with a name of the opposite gender of what one is, and tell everyone that one is of that opposite gender.  Then post for a while (preferably a month or more), and see how one is treated with that gender.  I think many people would be surprised with the results, though obviously a lot will depend on what forum one chooses and what one chooses to post there.

Not particularly interested in the thought.  Many people do such things with video games, chatrooms, and various other outlets in order to hide their identity and sometimes take advantage of other people.  I am content with being a male and remaining that way, though I wouldn't be surprised if others have done such things.  Since you suggested it, have you?

Sorry to do this, since it is against your personal recommendation.  But:

I AM A 21 YEAR OLD MALE.  COME AND GET IT (no homo).

Oh come on, not even a little homo? Just a smidge? I am disappoint.

I don't know about anyone else, but all text on my screen looks the same, neither male nor female nor however else a person may choose to identify as. Unless the people concerned choose to reveal less impersonal information and actually get to know one another, blank text is all we have to go on.

Sorry to disappoint you, Losty. Just goes to show that my posts are, in fact, underwhelming.

Wise words. Other than the fact that we have the occasional person reveal more about themselves or post pictures, I know nothing about the majority of the people here besides their views on religion and politics. And yet...I am unbothered by this.

That's odd, I see pink text for girls, blue for boys, and an alternating yellow/green for undisclosed... Thinking


Also...I'm apparently to stoopid for the internets? According to some weird picture that popped up in my post? Someone teach me how to forum properly. I miss my mobile version D:

A lot has changed since your little sojourn. In the edit options of your UCP there's a box that says "Put the editor in source mode by default". Tick that to solve all your problems.

Will it give me a mobile version? D:

I don't really want to download tapawhatever, but I guess I will if I need to.

You can switch to the mobile theme, if you want.

You can also download tapas talk, but it shouldn't be necessary unless you want to. I didn't.

When I click the mobile thing I just get a message saying something along the lines of "I'm working on a good mobile version coming soon."
