"Custom" Profile Fields are Weird
So some of the default "custom" profile fields do odd things in 1.1 based on default values.
Personal text gets saved as "Default Personal Text" or something like that and then shows up that way all over the forum if you don't set a value but update something else like setting an avatar. The annoyingly when you change the default (to say nothing like it should be) it doesn't update all the people who got assigned the default value through updating some other part of the profile.
Gender shows up in the profile area (even when viewed by guests) even if the user doesn't set because it defaults to undisclosed. Then if you modify it to have no default value it literally gets a default of "no default" which again causes it to show up everywhere with a value of "no default" which doesn't have an icon. Manually deleting the "no default" from the databases fixed an empty/broken gender field from showing up in every profile.

Apparently. And it must be shown to the world at large as "undisclosed" or "no default".

Sorry but this was so long ago I fixed it and don't even recall how.
