Features To Add?

Gender icons, please. That little grey box next to the usernames is kinda pointless without them.

Also, add me to the list of people who want the rating system back. Or a rating system, at least. It doesn't necessarily have to be the same one. Other systems exist on other message boards, like the dotting system on @forumz. I don't post there, but I know of their dot system, and it seems pretty decent. More interactive than the one-time rating system the old GFF had, at least. Instead of rating people once anonymously, you can give them a green dot whenever they say or do something in a post that impresses you, or a red dot whenever they say or do something that makes you think they're a raging fuckwit. They get a PM saying what post they were rated for, and a little message from the person who rated them (if they choose to send one). The accumulation of dots over time = their user rating.

I'm not necessarily advocating we use that system, but it's just some food for thought. If the old rating system is gone for a specific reason, there ARE other rating systems out there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The gender icons seem to have been appearing on and off, then disappearing again just as quickly. I've seen then randomly appear from time to time. And whenever I make a quick reply post, I can see my OWN gender icon (but no one else's). Though as soon as the page is refreshed, it disappears again. Seems like the gender icons are kicking around in the system SOMEWHERE. They're just not showing up most of the time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
