There's a thread on the male to female ratio.

There's a thread on the male to female ratio.

IIRC, that thread was a poll, and there were a lot of members that didn't vote.

Yes, but isn't it the closest thing we have(minus going thru all the member manually)?

In the new forums, it goes through all the members automatically (well, the ones that specified their gender).  Giving a more accurate view of it.

hav we got more men or women?

[Yonkey]

No idea, we'll find out when we upgrade the forum.

But, the Weekly Poll for this week should give us some indication.

phpBB doesn't have good cookie handling?

Not for me, anyway. I've noticed that any threads I open in new windows don't get marked read properly, so I end up having to read all the new posts in a forum and then mark it read manually.

Even more annoying is that if you log out with posts unread, phpBB marks them all read on you. Poo!

If I had to guess, it seems maybe it's because phpBB post new-ness is based on the time you visit a forum index, rather than keeping track of posts themselves? I don't know PHP, so I can't say for sure, just a guess on "observed behavior".

How does that poll help determine the male/female ratio?

That would be no problem, since I use a persistent cookie, i.e. never really log out. And those few times I temporary log in at work because I just thought of something (and with my mind, would probably forget it before I got home again)... I don't exactly log-out either, I just specify the time for which I want to stay connected.

I dunno about male/female precisely, but it should give a general indicator of the most preferred gender to smooch.

Yup, exactly!  It doesn't ask directly what your gender is, but it gives you some idea.

[Kimmie]

what if...you were a snail or a worm, would u put down both?

[Yonkey]

I actually don't know who they'd vote for.   Connor?

Now you're a double member!

I thought the forum had certain 'safeguards' against double memberships.

Considering the large amount of guests looking through the site, now is  as good a time as any to revive the thread.
