New Website!

Can I make comment that's non-aesthetic and from long before the site change?

What do people think about the removal of gender on profiles?

I recognise that people can lie about it (as they can with anything), or be gender-fluid or not want to reveal it for whatever reason (in which case they don't have to, it's always up to them).  But overall, I feel that anything that makes us think of people more as human beings rather than utterly faceless words on a screen is positive.  Even something as basic as thinking of X as a girl makes you think of her a bit more like a real person, which then makes you more likely to treat her with respect. Imho.

(Plus, there's nothing more awkward than meeting a tutor/student when you'd pictured a girl and it's actually a guy   OK not really, I was meeting a random from AN at a station and didn't know if he was guy or girl, but knowing would have halved the people I was looking out for).

Couldn't find any similar problems after Ctrl+F'ing the thread, so hopefully this isn't a repost. Anyway, for some reason, whenever I try to change my avatar, be it through linking to a URL or uploading from my PC itself, I get an error saying...

 "The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."

It is a regular .png file, so I'm not sure what's wrong here. Any ideas or similar issues?

Are you still having this issue? I can't replicate, so might have been fixed behind the scenes

Yeah, agree with this. I think it would be good to have our gender displayed on our profile. I managed to find a list of non-binary gender symbols that can be found here for anyone's reference: http://nonbinary.org/wiki/Gender_symbols Not sure how much work it would take to get these all up as options on the site though, maybe we could just have it written (either choosing from a list or typing in a gender), rather than a symbol?

Maybe I'm insensitive/bigoted (sorry), but I think that list's a bit over the top.  Either have 1-2 extra symbols, or make it like it was before, and say, if you don't identify as either male or female, don't display your gender, and there are heaps of other people that won't either so it's not like you're odd-one-out.
But others may not even agree that we should have gender at all, I'm sure there was a reason for removing it.

I like the surprise of meeting someone from AN who I find isn't a non-Asian male! Keeps things interesting ^_^

Didn't mean have them all lol. Trans and intersex would be the obvious choices/most popular. But androgyne, neutrois and bigender would probably be good to have to. Obviously you don't need to add the various neutrois', eunuch, cuntboy, etc though.

Somehow I accidentally clicked on the shop button up the top and when I did, I noticed that the link was broken.

Also just being fussy but the icons are different sizes.

omg just managed to remove this annoying banner with adblock <3

GONE FOREVER

(edit: I can't see it at all now, but I don't really use the other options anyway, would highlyrecommend/10)

IRC/Chat seems to have disappeared...

Thought I might post up a suggestion that I've been thinking about for a while now. Not sure what others will think, oh well!

I think it would be a good idea to be able to 'favourite' posts and be able to view them later under favourites (whether that be visible on our profile or private). There's some really helpful posts out there that I'd really like to be able to come back to later without having to bookmark the page and then find said post again. Or alternatively it would be good if there was a feature where we could view all the posts we gave +1 to.

Anyway, just food for thought I guess.

Bookmark them on your browser and organise your bookmarks into VCE with subfolders into subjects? That's what I used to do.

I like the "see what we +1'd" idea though!
