Any advice on how to create that profile field ?

Just like every other profile field: from the AdminCP.

I'm trying not to sound too thick here, and really appreciate your help and understand it's not part of your mod, BUT I know how to add a custom profile field, but getting it to allow the insertion of an image has stumped me.

I am sorry for bothering you. I'll have a good poke about for maybe a different mod that does what I need.

Many thanks - Still a good mod you have done by the way. Maybe not for me though.

Depending on where you call and want to display the img, you'd place the appropriate BBCODE or HTML references around it.

Already tried that. Will not display image. Would be much easier to use a mod that has a full editor with insert image option OR an upload option, or something along those lines.

What I want is an option for my members along the lines of vb garage, but vb garage will not work on my site.
(and I've posted on that mods thread with no reply as yet from the developer).

is it possible to add icon/picture beside the field? for example MSN?

Please hit the INSTALL button for support.

Why would you want a MSN icon next to a profile field? There's already an IM option for MSN built into vB.

Thanks for the update :)

Just install the .xml and that's it for updating I take it?

Yes, but if you've upgraded vB, then you'll need to make the manual edits as well.
