Xion44 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 was wondering this..i see some folks here dont bother to do that. as a result of this, on most forums i go to, iam ending up apologizing for calling the person bro -not knowing he's a she .. i think its nice that folks take the time to fill out their profile page.. of course it isnt required for you to do so, but i always add my gender, and age. what do others think? From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related. They have helped me and many others in the past. Excellent hints and advice!

Moderators Andavari 1 Posted February 5, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2009 What gets confusing sometimes is when someone uses a female picture for their avatar, then to find out it's a guy. This one person on another forum I visit I had pegged as a female for at least five years, but that wasn't the case. Link to post Share on other sites
Xion44 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 sometimes during a persons intro, id say "welcome to the forum, bro or sis" and from there, let them choose which format is best From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related.
