This may be kinda picky, but can we change 'sex' to 'gender'? Whenever I see 'sex', I think of something other than what this is refering to.  And it's not exactly PC.
Also, I noticed that font sizes on the profile page weren't consistent. Can we make this more consistent?

| feel free to think whatever comes into your mind. and the font sizes differ because otherwise sentences like Allow Forum Members to Send you E-Mail? and Signature checkbox checked by default? would take up more than one line... |

| Since snitz is used internationally, use of 'Gender' will be more appropriate. There are countries where mention of word Sex raises eye brows. |

The valign in the table cells are not consistent either:
E-mail Address: valign not set
AIM: valign not set
ICQ: valign not set
YAHOO IM: valign not set
Homepage: valign not set
Cool Links: valign not set
New Password: valign not set
New Password Again: valign not set
Firstname: valign="middle"
Surname: valign="middle"
City: valign="middle"
State: valign="middle"
Country: valign not set
Birth Date: valign="middle"
Sex: valign not set
Marital Status: valign="top"
Occupation: valign="top"

Those where it's not set, the cell will have a vertically centered alignment by default (that's the bahavior of cells). The valign="top" is for a text area which makes perfect sense.
I agree that for consistancy reasons it either should be set everywhere or nowhere (except where really needed), but it's not a big deal as it won't mess things up like this. |

The two listed below are not text areas though.
Marital Status: valign="top"
Occupation: valign="top" |

You're right. My bad. I thought occupation was one of the text areas  . Those ought to be changed. |

And we must get rid of these cases in v4 because you'll never know how long it will be if it is translated to Telugu (తెలుగు), Syriac (ܣܘܪܝܝܐ) or Sanskrit (संस्कृत)...

You'd need to add any align="left"s to these, as they are not acceptable in global software.

Nice, never looked at this before, can I leave UTF-8 on, or will other things change also...
Ok, I make one mistake in the text, changed it, and I now there's that *** edited by.
Couldn't they say "if you edit your post within 1 minute it's NOT edited by?

| I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way but the sticky topics 'sticking' to the top of the recent topics list in the profiles is somewhat confusing as it makes it appear that was the last topic replied to. |

Where are you seeing a sticky topic on someone's profile? I didn't add code to the recent topics section to handle sticky topics. Sticky Topics only show on forum.asp. |

| I changed "Sex" to "Gender" on all outputted HTML. But, I did not change form element names or the database field name. |
