Dear RW
Where a user has not uploaded a pic there is a default 'click to change' silhouette. This is quite clearly a bloke. In fact I think it is modelled on my geography teacher. If that silhouette is wearing elbow patches it is definately him.
Anyhow, this didn't used to bother me as you don't see the silhouettes for non-pic people in the normal course of events. For non-pic people, I find one tends to imagine what posters look like. In my imagination female posters who make witty, entertaining and engaging posts generally resemble Penelope Cruz.
However, every now and then a hottest forum thread thing appears on the right of my screen. This has the pic, poster name, and the thread title in a speech bubble. It creeps me out when the poster is clearly of the female persuasion but the silhouette is that of a bloke.
Please stop trying to make my Penelope Cruzs look like Mr. Donnelly.
Many Thanks
