Off hand:
"Last Post" info will still show in forumhome...
User can use "showpost" or even "showthread" manually to view threads and posts, would need to edit each one...
The "Archive" would be unaffected...

The only way to do this right is with usergroup permissions. You could make the male/female group publically joinable so you don't have to do the work manually- but then people could change their sex at any time.

Thats the problem, i don't want them to be able to change, the custom field is there at registration only and uneditable and hidden after, so i need something like that script that doesn't work to either change them on completion of registration or even after first post because i could force first post to be in say an Introduction forum.

But whatever happens i wouldnt be able to run the site without this moving user based on gender.

BTW im using vB3.8.6
