It is possible. I administered a Xenforo board where we did it, albeit with some custom development. I appreciate that it will take time to implement that of course, but it's an important feature imo.

Something is very weird then, because I've had adblockers (both of them) turned off for Resetera since 2017,I just double checked they still are, and I still don't see any ads.
I remember seeing ads up until some time ago (last year?), so I wonder what's up with that...
Edit: So I went as far as disabling both adblocker extensions wholesale and restarting the browser: nada. I see no ads whether logged in or in incognito mode. :/

It would be amazing if a consistent format could be automatically applied to those pronouns. I'm already seeing different styles like:
Pronoun/Pronoun
Pronoun / Pronoun
Pronoun/pronoun
pronoun/pronoun
But this is probably not something that can be coded into the feature.

Seconded. Perhaps a workaround could be predefined terms with an easy option to contact the Admins to add new terms, should you not identify with any of the predtermined choices, that could then swiftly be added to the predefined pronouns and be available for everyone? (That would also move the trolling potential to a much smaller audience)
Nice features. Appreciated!
Hope this positive interaction leads to all future communications regarding new features or site changes to be this way.
Wonder if pronouns feature is better if it has dropdown list of predefined list instead of any random value.

It's a custom tag. Usually reserved for when users do something interesting, but sometimes we do silly things like this ridiculous thing we did back when Endgame was near release: https://www.resetera.com/threads/on...-check-highlights-for-final-challenge.107809/

We think we might have a solution for this and will update when we're done.
That's a pretty cool update. Nice one, mods
Forcing you to use the light theme is the real punishment when you're banned

Dropdown + custom text entry for these fields isn't supported at the moment.
This has been implemented (auto-formats to Pronoun/Pronoun), It also restricts you to a selection of 4 pronouns :)
Awesome, great changes here. Very happy to see pronouns implemented in this way as well. Great job, folks. :>
Very curious to see how the ticket system works in the long run. It feels like a good step in the right direction so thank you for implementing this.

Good. This was always a bit weird not to have as an option, given the needs of so many users here.
also: "a miserable pile of secrets" did not fit within the pronouns box. Why not a dropdown menu like Letterboxd uses though?
(even though I'd lose that little 'etcetera' there)

We're working on thatI want to add my pronouns to my profile, but Era is having an issue with my current PSN ID.
:O
I was thinking just the other day about how I wish Era had an option for displaying/choosing pronouns. This makes me so happy to see - thank you!
Tickets feature is neat too :)

Right, that's why I said it required custom development. I had someone else code it when we implemented it, but my understanding was it basically yanked out the old gender field and replaced it with a custom entry field that could autocomplete based on a list of provided options (e.g. cisgender male) and imported previous data.
I realize the add-on is for 1.x and I believe this site runs 2.x, but this add-on might provide some insight on how it could be accomplished: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/gender-as-a-text-field.2347/
As I said, I appreciate that adding this would require time and custom development. But it is possible, just not offered out of the box.
Oh hell yessss an awesome feature for the 10-15 nonbinary ppl who aren't banned yet or still bother posting here
Will also be simpler for knowing where the men who feel the need to talk down to women about sexism come from too

Pronouns is a great addition. Thanks and good job staff!
Ticket system is also a really nice addition, will be nice when it's in place - great work!

When you say tickets can be filed from someone who is not logged in and that they need to provide an email & captcha: Does that mean the person has to have a valid Resetera email address on file or anyone can file a ticket with any email address?
If the latter, my concern is being inundated with so many troll tickets that your improvements to response times will be immediately impacted.

Both things are very appreciated. A pronoun system was long overdue (even if the gender field still has weird limits), and so is a way to handle contacting staff without having to PM a specific person or be stuck in an e-mail backlog. I will personally feel more comfortable using this than PMs, so hopefully others feel the same.
Similarly, appreciate you trying to get feedback in advance on new features like this.
As was said earlier - they already had a Contact Us form that emailed them. It's not like people couldn't already do that if they wanted to. (Hell, I'm guessing it's probably easier to limit people from spamming this than it is from spamming that...)

Yep, and frankly, it'll make the not so accidental ones all the more obvious.
