Why only Mr & Ms in log in page

On the log in page, i just noticed that the only options for the title are mr and Ms, what about Mrs, miss etc.

Can I add these extra ones in.

Thanks

Lee

Ms has replaced Mrs and Miss because many women either don't want to reveal their marital status (Mr says nothing about a man's marital status) or don't feel it's relevant for online shopping.

Re: Why only Mr & Ms in log in page

I was looking for this in the latest release, and it is not there. It is a major flaw to me. In the UK some women are proud to be married, or not as the case may be.

I get complaints on the current shop, and have stopped developing with Zen specifically because of this. Customers are hard enough to get with losing the ones I do get :)

Roll on this dev.

rather than have em fuss with it,
why not just turn that part OFF in admin -> configuration customer settings
