adding title Mrs radio button to login page

Hi on my login page;

http://www.thegreatgiftshop.co.uk/index.php?main_page=login

I need a radio button for Mrs, currently there's only mr and ms, how do I insert a new one? I couldnt find which file I needed to edit or how to edit it.

Many thanks.

There isn't an easy way to do this. The current 1.3 stream doesn't handle this data in an easily extensible way; 2.0 adds this feature.

Anyone found any new way to do this? Also in the checkout page on the shipping address and billing address areas...

Please read what swguy said,

the sir ms if a simple ON off switch thats it

The best way that I have seen anyone actually make this work is to remove the salutation all together and have people type in Mrs ( first name ) in the first name box

best bet is just to totally remove the salutation

Good idea Merlinpa1969, how would I do this? I'll need a little guidance please. I can probably remove it but how would I then be able to insert a field for people to type their title into?

many thanks

Merlin didn't suggest a separate box:

Still would be handy to have a separate box say 'Title' or 'Salutation' and just allow it 10 chars of text for people to add a title separately to their main name.
