At the moment the standard vBulletin registration page isn't laid out very logically... It has all the 'required' fields at the top followed by the 'optional' fields.
The user registration page on most websites is laid out in a more orderly and logical way and 'required' fields are normally indicated with an asterisk (*).
On my forum I have seperate fields for city (free text and required), state (drop down list and optional) and country (drop down list and required). The state field is optional as I don't have the state of every country in the world listed - only USA, Canada and UK. I have all this information in seperate fields as it enables me to compile detailed statistics on where my registered users are from.
City, state, country is a logical order but because the state field is optional (not every country in the world is divided in to different states) this field is relegated down the page to the 'optional' fields on the registration form.
I'd like to see the registration page formatted into a more logical order with 'required' fields indicated with an asterisk (*).
