So far so good for me. Thanks.

Actually I do have a question now that I've read these last couple of post. Under limits you have: Please enter the display-limits! & then you have: Videos in Profile Block. So I put one cuz I thought this meant you have the option. But you don't?

If all it would take is adding a new profile field for people to add their URL to & adding a lil code to add a new "my fav videos" block to the user profile I've done this for a couple of other mods around here. Would it be this simple?

There's no profileblock yet.

And a profileblock is not a profilefield.

The profileblock would display the latest X Videos of a user in his profile.
