I recommend since some fields are already known by the system, such as name, email, location, birthdate, etc. Just pre-populate those (rather, uneditable grey them out) using the profile details already known.

I thought about adding these (location, bithdate) in, but some boards don't require that alot of this information to be required, and a field like email, some users may have a bad email address for their account and may want to use a separate email address.

Hey, I modded this, just modify the xml plugin file, pretty easy mate!

Cool nuff though

Same here however you could tweak it and have it for staff positions i.e. if you run a board and there are coders that would like to help you and present info to your community then it would serve another purpose but since we just don't have the need for it does not mean others won't and just look @ all the replies.

Redline, downloaded to look over, might us might not but regardless dl'd it so marking as installed.

[TheTradersArena]

downloaded this mod and installed according to directions, however, all I'm seeing in the vb options in my AdminCP is the activate moderator applications and the email address.........nothing else to set any options...........am I missing something here?
Using 3.8.3
