Exciting New Feature: User Pronoun Option Now Available!

Dear India Forums Community,

We are thrilled to announce the introduction of a brand-new feature that enhances the inclusivity and personalization of our forum – the User Pronoun Option!

Starting today, all members have the opportunity to specify their preferred pronouns. This information will be visible on your user hover card and profile, making it easier for everyone to address each other respectfully and accurately.

How to Add Your Pronouns:

• Go to your User Profile settings page.
• Find the "Pronoun" field.
• Select your preferred pronouns.
• Save your changes.

It’s that simple! We believe this addition will foster a more inclusive environment and improve the way we connect and communicate within our community.

Thank you for being a part of India Forums and for helping us create a welcoming and respectful space for everyone.

Happy posting!

Warm regards,

India Forums Team

We will now have nil confusion on how to address a member . It is so nice to see IF accommodating all genders without any biases .

thank you dear technical team for this new additional information

As explained above , settings >>>>> login >>>> Profile >>>> pronoun field >>>> select options as above

Thank you for your feedback!

We understand the importance of being able to accurately represent yourself, and we appreciate your suggestion about allowing custom pronouns. Currently, we offer five options: he/him, she/her, they/them, any, and name only.

Here are some reasons for our current approach:

• Consistency and Clarity: By providing a set list of pronouns, we ensure consistency across the forum, making it easier for all users to understand and use the pronouns correctly.
• Ease of Use: A predefined list simplifies the process for users, especially those who may not be familiar with the wide variety of pronouns. This ensures that everyone can easily select an option that represents them.
• Technical Considerations: Implementing a custom pronoun option requires significant changes to our system to ensure proper display and functionality across all parts of the forum. We want to ensure any new feature is implemented correctly without causing disruptions.
• Moderation and Safety: A set list helps us prevent the misuse of the feature, ensuring that all pronouns used are respectful and appropriate. This helps maintain a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.

We are actively exploring the possibility of adding a custom pronoun option in the future and will continue to gather feedback to better understand our community's needs.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Your input is invaluable to us, and we are committed to making India Forums a more inclusive and user-friendly community.

Best regards,
