Ooh. One last jab at SMF.
I really hate the constant overreliance on IF/ELSE statements. Yes, It's a really easy mistake to make especially if it's only a select group doing the coding and you aren't counting on others touching it (Plus it saves having to write extra error checking code)
But it means something as simple as adding a third option requires massive code changes.
Not sure if this problem has been fixed up but it bit me hard when adding an "Unread notified posts" screen and broke the gender statistics when I added a bunch of stupid joke animal genders.
