I'm sorry if this has been previously addressed or if I'm missing a feature on the website, but this a little concern, not a gigantic site-ender, just a bit of uncomfortable settings: Your profile settings seem to generally avoid gendering pronouns (he/she) yet the status bar clearly shows "He is updating his settings" or something to that effect when I am editing my settings. I know people of the female sex are in a minority in the gaming world. This applies as well as the vast variety of gender identifications that exist outside of the simple (and biologically inaccurate) male/female binary, but if the goal of this website is to promote an atmosphere where we are safe to discuss and share on a game and other subjects I would suggest thinking about altering your language within these regions. (They is a grammatically correct singular pronoun that was used by Shakespeare).

If I am simply missing a button, please direct me to it.

I think it's just a simple slip up.

This is what it normally says:
Status: Online: Is viewing the Forum-Index.
Status: Online: Is viewing a topic.

When updating your settings it says:
Online: Is changing his settings.

I think it's just a simple string that has a pronoun in it when it shouldn't. Not a biggie.

Woah

I remember someone mentioning this in the past, but nothing changed and frankly nothing will change (at least until the next version of the site is released). lolololololololol

Like Lanth said, however, it avoids the pronoun when looking at someone else's profile. I think a majority of members didn't seem to care one way or another, as the circumstances in which you'd see the "his" are rare.

We'll keep this in mind for the next version, though I have a feeling we'll just avoid the pronouns again.

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
