       Is it possible to make ‘joinable groups’ mandatory?

       (Pls note - decided to create a brand new post for this as its
       an entirely different question - hopefully doing it this way
       will be more helpful to other users too)
       So...
       If the admin of the forum wants to set ‘groups’ to appear on
       registration, AFAIK any new user who registers with that forum
       has no obligation to join any group.  Atm the actual message a
       new user gets is:
       “This is an optional choice - if none of these are appealing to
       you, simply skip it!  For multiple selections, hold down the
       Ctrl key.”
       Thus a new user can join no group or more than one group - its
       entirely up to him/her. However this presents a problem as my
       forum will have the options "male" and "female" on signup. I
       don't want this to be an optional choice, as it will make
       monitoring my forum much more easier knowing who is a female and
       who is male
       So following from this, my questions are:
       - Can I make joining a group MANDATORY at signup and if yes,
       what setting would I need to change to do this?
       - Is there a way to make the group a user originally registered
       with - such as male or female - appear next to his / her name
       whenever that user makes a post, rather than just saying newbie
       which is what I'm currently getting?
       - Is there a way to disable CTRLmultiple selection so a new user
       is forced to click EITHER “male” or “female” but can't click
       both?
       - Is there at least a way to remove or change the message on
       registration stating ‘this is an optional choice?’
       Thanks in advance for your help!

       Go to Admin -> Layout Settings
       And check "Hide post group titles for grouped members:"
       The other ones not at this time.
