Wasn't really easy to follow your instructions since I never modified a template, but in the end I got it. Only problem I had that the User Profile Fields Manager doesn't show anything (version 3.0.6), but at least the Add User Profile Field did what it should.
As an addition, if one uses the service of Qzoxy/Jyve, you can directly display the online status as vbulletin does it for ICQ, MSN etc. In this case just change the image tag like this:
Code:
<IMG SRC="http://jyvepresence1.com/qzoxy/$post[field5].png?icon=small" alt="Click here to Skype $userinfo[username]" BORDER=0>
See
