I believe there is an "other" option, which is just the same as "I am not any of the other choices given, but I am something".

It would be neat if this banner does not pop up every time I post something, how about hide it from the user who made the post that triggers this banner?

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum to be asking this on, but how do I add a pfp to my account? Last time I tried the computer said I had too many "pixels" or something

Minimum 400 x 400, maximum around 1.2k I think

So keep it below 1200 x 1200 and above 400 x 400.

Aim to make it a square.

I noticed in a user's profile they have this icon of two green coins that are stacked. They are labeled as "credits." What are these for?

How do I see the votes I, or someone else, have cast?

Some debaters such as Lancelot and myself can handle many debates at once. You banning us from it is unfair.

What do you mean banning you from it? Banning how?

Further update flaws:

  1. In a phone UI for android, you don't get the three bars on top-right turning orange/amber for message notifications, only actual notifications.
  2. Inside notification settings you actually have to turn them to the opposite of what appears active in order to get them activated and vice versa (orange means off, blank means on if I understood correctly).
  3. Cannot zoom in phone even if one turns on desktop site format in the phone, already told you this but seriously unpleasant for those that may not have perfect eyesight for reading on screens.

On a phone there is this off-canvas menu on the left, which you can open by clicking on the sandwich bar in the top right corner, and the icons are highlighted if there's something new.

Doubled checked it, it seems to be correct.

  1. Cannot zoom in phone even if one turns on desktop site format in the phone, already told you this but seriously unpleasant for those that may not have perfect eyesight for reading on screens.
That's a tricky one, can you please check the settings of your web browser instead? I believe there was a way, I just don't remember how :/

Is there a reason there is an asterisk next to "Text" just below the Mention field?

Also as of the new update my browser no longer tries to autofill my password into the Mention field, which is nice. Never submitted a bug report on it but I definitely won't miss that little quirk.

I have no edit function and no pm function since these changes. Is there a reason for that?

Can you please elaborate?

If you want to edit your profile, now you can do it from your "main" profile page, the link is there. And the PMs are available by clicking on the envelope in the top header.

I added those for the mandatory fields, to make it a bit more clear.

Oh I am sorry mate, that's a tiny bug, you should have pinged me and I would have fixed it real quick.

I mean I have no edit icon to edit my posts.  And When I click on envelope to PM  there is nothing there.

The edit button for the posts is in the dropdown which you can open by clicking on those three dots in the right top corner. But only during the first thirty mins after the post’s creation. 

I will investigate why your private messages may be gone, that shouldn’t have happened.

Also when I click onto a members profile I cannot search their posts. Has this function been removed?

Could you enable the creation of limitless Rated debates?
We would be forced to participate then because there would be no advantage for forfeiting.

I’m not sure I follow, how come that ten active debates at the same time is not enough?

Some debates have a wait-time of 1-3 weeks in-between responses. 
And sometimes, people never post and forfeit anyway, meaning you have to wait to finish all of those debates before you can participate in new ones.

Oh I get it now, yeah that’s an issue, maybe I will try to implement elastic limit, where the more experienced you are, the higher limit you have. But before that, I’ll probably bump the limit a bit for everyone.

severe bugs when editing posts with multiple quotes, it's very unviable.
