On our old board we had added a field to allow people to add their City, State. Then we had it display in their post. We found alot of people like seeing where members were from. We are a Mustang site and this option was a nice addition. Since the change alot of people have been inquiring about it.

Is is dangerous to add a field to the table? I could do this easily with phpMyAdmin. Then I could just work the code to give the blank in the user profile field and call the field in the thread display.

Is this possible without screwing up the DB?

Thanks for any input.

You can also just make another table and give it a userid field that matches the userid in the user table and then do a join when you query the data.

A blob is a field that has variable size data in it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
