[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1013676, member: 88961"] I'm in grey, on my iPad, and also was earlier on my laptop, so there's discrimination on the basis of colour going on here! Please take that remark, recognising my tongue in my cheek. [USER=2]@Administrator[/USER] - does the sub-avatar type just copy from the profile page? Like all things diabetes, where things can be not cut and dried, like T2 on insulin, or those considered resolved, users may have to plump for the closest match. For those, like [USER=67119]@Kat100[/USER] , does a "prefer not to say" option exist? That's what many large organisations use when making ethnic, disability and religion enquiries, and it would appear both truthful, and certainly in some cases, very accurate. I detest labels myself, but I know I find it frustrating when trying to answer a user query -especially new users, when asking can merely delay a valid response, so I do think there is valid rationale in providing that information, alongside every post. On an aside, for some time, there was a bug around which displayed new users as T1 or T1.5, controlled by diet. To the "mature" and readily befuddled, like myself, that can lead to further questioning. (Actually, that could just be because I'm nosey. :) ) [/QUOTE]
