This sound like it should be a very simple hack, I just don't know where to start.

All I would like, is a page where you could enter in some info (age, college, major, etc, etc) and click on submit. When they do that, it enters that information and is displayed on a different page. This page is unique for that specific user and can be seen by a link in the postbit template. They would be able to edit their information via User CP.

Not sure where I should start. I can do all the HTML editing, just need help with the PHP and whatnot.

Hmm, why don't use the custom profilefield for that infos?

Because the actual info they will be submitting is the live shows they own. Example


Artist: Dave Matthews Band
Date: 2002-09-13
Venue: Madison Square Garden
Media: 2 SHN discs
Quality: A+
Taper: Jason Green
Source: Oktava MC012 > Edirol UA-5 > Powerbook G4 > Nuendo
Conversion: Nuendo > CEP > mkwACT > SHN

Notes:
Blah, blah, blah.



This info would need to be updated if they received other shows. If you can't tell, I belong to a taping community and we tape a lot of live music.

Then why not install the Journal hack, and get them to enter it in that format?

Like Xenon said, use custom profile fields, but make them hidden to users so they don't show up in the user's profile. Then, create a new template and a new php file that calls that template. In that new template, create a new layout, and just use the $bbuserinfo[fieldx] variables to show up the contents of the custom user profile fields. :)
