Could we have gender-neutral language in the notifications to avoid assumption, inadvertent misgendering and to be more inclusive?

Instead of saying ‘his’ or ‘her or even his/her (that limits to a gender binary) could we have the gender- neutral ‘they/their/them’?

Not sure of every situation where gender- based pronouns are used for notifications but one example is here:

I think like the national flag, the pronouns could be displayed with the accounts, with the choice of people want it to be displayed or not and in the notifications, pronouns can be shown, but if people choose to hide it, they/them can be shown (it's one of the gender neutral Pronouns, plus, when we don't know someone's gender, we actually say, they, so it makes kind of sense)

It's a general presumption that the members are female (unless their UNs/DPs suggest so) and offensive is not adding the feature, but when someone just assumes someone's gender because they don't have all the information needed.

Adding that feature also will be a good look on the site. Zoom and Instagram(in few countries) have that feature too. There is nothing offensive in asking what someone would be preferred to be called, it's basic manners in 2023.

Just for clarity sake. In the Update Profile page we do have the option to mention Gender on their profile (do check once). Should I show the same on the User hover card?

Yes. The following options are available.

I have below feature suggestions to make

1. In the private forum can we have a feature to tag everyone at once. as sometimes we want to share important news with all members it's hard to type each and every username unless they are friends.

2. Is there any future plan to display the user's actual name along with the username? As sometimes it's very hard to remember names 😊

3. Can badges be sorted based on added date? My anda badge seems to be buried under my other badges 😭 Or can we have a feature for us to choose which badge we want to display than displaying all badges randomly?

Please can we get a search option in My Posts? Or anything easier? It's so difficult to search for locked threads there because they're not even in order of "last posted"

I just had the same problem with orange font but not light green font in a private forum post (Ramayana Katha Forum):

In this post, four lines are supposed to be in orange font, but it only appears orange for the second line:

Orange font is still working inconsistently. In the post linked below, it didn't work for two lines between the Saṃskṛta text and its translation, but it worked in the middle of a line.

Idle question: my rank of IF-Dazzler is singular, but the higher ranks all end in "z" as if each individual becomes plural after making 5000 posts/comments. Could the silly "z" be removed from the user group names? Or, would that lead to everyone not using the pronoun "they" for a singular subject?

IF is saying my IP is banned when I tried to log in from my phone.why?

Edit- resolved now I could log in but why it said ip is banned ? i couldn't log in for more than an hour from my phone

I think the word is not allowed coz it's a competing site or something 🤔
