You just go into “Profile Settings” then click “User Profile” and change the radio button near the bottom.

Yeah, I thought it was Greg Semenaya from South Africa.

I’ve tried that on a number of occasions to no avail - I hope my “supplements” aren’t tainted!

Tried that many times over, does not seem to work for me, as well as others.

I don’t think that showed up the way you wanted it to…

Got that right! I copy/pasted the radio button to show it marked for Male, and included the “country” input box also. Didn’t work so well.

Well, Greg Beatie gave birth.

Can you try:

  • change it to female (sorry)
  • save (sorry again)
  • change back to male
  • save

And let me know if that works?

Done that multiple times in the past with no results. Just tried a few more times, still no results.

There are a few others having the same issue.

Thanks

We were aware of the mis-match, but didn’t know that changing the button didn’t work. It works for me. I.e., I can change to female and it works fine. So now that I know that doesn’t work for you, I have something to investigate.

Had me listed as female too, but I managed to change it just now using the button.

Yearly bump?

Just deal with it bitch!

Well, I’m not sure how you see your gender except by clicking on your name in one of the challenges. (Is there another way?)
The interesting thing is, when I do that I get “Page Not Found” error message.
Just for you, mind you. None of the other names I randomly tried.
But none of the other names have an apostrophe, so I wonder if that is causing the issue?
You could try changing to greg_n or gregn or something, just as a test, to see if you can then correct your gender.
Just a random thought.

It still doesn’t work for you? We went through and “fixed” everyone. Or so I thought…

Ok, I’m pretty sure I broke one of the rules. I created another account just now, test’n, to see if my hunch on the greg’n issue was correct.
FWIW, I can change gender to male (and back) on my real account but not on test’n. So I think the special character may be at fault (or maybe the stars are just aligned strangely - but I don’t want to create a bunch more accounts to verify and get in more trouble for breaking the rule - or maybe the number of offenses of a single rule is ok … but I digress).
Anyhow, you might want to look at the special character to see if that really is greg’n’s problem.
And how do I delete the account test’n?
(Sorry about that. I didn’t want to hose my real account.)

Man, you really are passionate about the ST forum.

Got nothing better to do on New Years Day than create test usernames to check on obscure functonalities :wink:
