I have a couple, who both have birth and death dates on the form but all the indicators are grayed out for both. The dots for M and No for the man, and F and NO for the woman are slightly darker. I'm sure they were lit up in Ver 7.5 before going to Ver8. Very Strange
My entry shows a dot for living but the M is gray, my son has 2 bright dots for living and M Eerie I don't mind the exclamation marks, I'll have to live with them, they do their job, and my success rate at getting rid of them is very low.

You cannot modify the male female indicators when a person is married or linked in a similar relationship. To change gender in those cases you can use the swap husband and wife on the Edit menu to change the gender of both participants. Living = No will also be set and cannot be changed if you have entered anything in the death or burial fields. Those red exclamation marks are showing potential problems, if you do not want to see them on screen Go to Options > Customize > 8. View and turn off section 8.11 Monitor Potential Problems.
