    Minor bug in quote notification

    It doesn't take notice of the gender flag, or use gender neutral language:
    rwh,
    hellokitty has recently quoted you in a post he made. This user's quotes of you are:

    A gender neutral solution is easiest, so they say.

    Quote notification is not a feature that I've ever enabled. It does however have more value than tags and way more than the now disabled flame warrior.

    What? Like "hellokitty recently quoted you in a post IT made..?"

    Dunno about that, Mr Hitcher...

    Quote notification is handy for "trollers" to see reactions sooner ...

    I do recall your experiences with flame warrior ...

    ...in a post THEY made.

    I should start a weekly award for obtuseness.

    Nah. "They" is plural. There is only one hellokitty. I would have thought BDOTGNZA members would know obvious things like that...jeez .

    One correct solution would be something like "You have recently been quoted in a post made by hellokitty."

    Easy for those of us with a superior knowledge of language...

    They (pronoun):

    (Snip)

    He or She - used instead of 'he' or 'she' to refer to a person without specifying gender. Example - "A friend phoned the other day and they told me what you had said".

    True. But then I do like to challenge BDOTGNZA...'specially on a slow afternoon like today's.

    Anyway, I still reckon my suggestion is better than using "they".
