I changed the CSS earlier today, try force refreshing the page, it should look better for you.

They're small here too. I tested on Chrome, they look pretty big there:
The other symbols are square though. Don't know if it's my Chrome that's broken, it's not my default browser anyway.

Why not make the Gender option work like the Location option and display beneath the Avatar in text? Personally, I think that would look better.
Yeah I agree, that's what I meant when I said I didn't like the placement.

That's not how Pokémon does it. And how Pokémon does it is very important, as that's how most of our users will have been exposed to these symbols in the first place.

I think I'm going to assign anyone who dares to question my judgment here with a special insulting gender symbol just for them. You will learn to obey your supreme overlord.
For those of you who like seeing other users made fun of, please suggest a character now.

For those of you who don't know what a Force Refresh is, it's holding down Shift and clicking on the Refresh icon in your browser. You can also try Ctrl+F5.

People didn't understand what I wrote.
Alaktorn asked a counter-example about the possible bad side of HAVING a gender option.
I wrote what used to happen.
Synnchan said it happened with her a few times.
People think I want "them" (girls?) to protect, WHAT THE FUCK?

These two look like squares in my browser. :(
Did you force refresh your browser?

I'm chatting with Ji-chan through Skype and this "force refresh" method does absolutely nothing for either of us. Besides:
^ THIS is how the symbols are supposed to look like. It looks far more noticeable and apparent this way.

It's not supposed to be noticeable and apparent.

Well... I just drew symbols for the other genders in case you change your mind...
male | female | male&female | genderless | other/uncertain
I still think my idea is better and pretty sure others would agree with me. I do think you should be a bit more flexible and learn to accept the other members' suggestions instead of giving everyone a "fuck you. It's either my way or the highway"

Gamer Maiden Sonia, you really need to purchase a new sarcasm detector.

Lmao. What I was thinking was simply text under Location, “Gender: Male/Female/whatever”, but I don’t really care if Nach prefers it the current way.

Still squares. In these posts in particular, they’re squares with 2 lines of text in them, top row “26” and bottom row “AA”. Edit: A5 on the second square.

Damn. I wanted to avoid this. You’re gonna tell me to update. XP and Firefox v15, anyway.

I've always understood sarcasm as something you say while thinking the contrary. If what you said before was sarcasm, then you're considering our suggestion of "more visible symbols" instead of rejecting it. But since that doesn't seem to be the case, then that wasn't sarcasm.

When a line is way over the top, with phrases like "king" and "supreme overlord", then it is sarcasm.
I'm considering many options, but the simple truth is, I don't have the time to try a dozen different approaches. I threw something together real quick which is easy. When I have time, I'll improve it. I'm reading what everyone says, some suggestions are easier to accomplish or more effective then others (in terms of the programming involved), and that's where my focus will be at the moment.
I will also add that "demands", "insults", or "inappropriate language" will only serve to remove any interest I have on improving this.
