Custom profile fields

Then edit the MEMBERINFO template to place it where you want it

so i would select a question like male or female in the profile field, but what exactly do i need (the code) to put into the memeberinfo template?

also would you know how i can make a drop down box which members can select their answer, in case if there were more than two options to select from?

when you create the field it recieves a number that you can view from the list of them. for example field5

then you put $member[fieldX] in the MEMBERINFO template where you want it to appear. I;m not 100% sure its $member[fieldX] but thats close. and X is the number of the field.

If its not included in the what you can do with custom profile fields, then i dont have a clue
