Just bumping this.

This is actually happening on WoP (UK) too, so thanks for bringing it up!

Bumping this up.

This is so annoying! And it only happens when you've responded to the topic then say Person #1 responded to the topic after you, then Person #2 responded but it looks like Person #1 responded so it gets really confusing.

But the thing is, it doesn't happen unless if you've responded and two different people responded after you so it's a bit strange.

Please excuse me if this doesn't make sense, I may or may not be staying up at midnight xD Also, please don't mind the Person #1 and 2 things, I'm too tired to think of actual names.

Oml, this would be so helpful!

I'm not on WoO, but this does seem quite disturbing so I'm up-voting.

Bumping this.

I'm pretty sure if you have a VIP you can choose your pet's gender, also you can easily change your pet's gender by paying a bit of irl money (on WoP UK I'm pretty sure it's only around £0.99)

I'm not on those sites, but thank you for letting me know.

Ah, yes I was forgetting how old people can get in HP. 

So yeah, I think this does kind of answer my question.
