      I think it would be very useful for people (mostly developers but regular users could be interested as well) if there would be a "Device" field in the user profile, preferrably beneath the post count and location, so that it's always visible.

      Users could, for example, enter that they have a 1st generation iPod Touch, 8GB. When discussing problems, developers don't have to ask for this.

      An additional improvement could be a gender choice, so that people can see if a user is male or female if that's not immediately clear from the username.

      So like a vCard download?
      Or just editing your profile prefrences?

      The Device field could be problematic if a user or dev has multiple iDevices.

      A device field would be nice, but I don't think necessary. Male/Female is something which I would also want because that way I would know how to address someone when writing a post.

      I'll help you:

      99% of TA users are male.

      .99% of TA users have questionable genders.

      .01% is GatorDeb whom i THINK is the only actual female here.

      :confused: I hope your not serious, cause that's completely wrong. I bet you there are many more girls here than you think.

      The stats could be right but still the females that DO post on TouchArcade are often quality members. ;)
