To add a user profile field to your vBulletin board, click on the
Add link under the
User profile fields section in the admin control panel. The following form will then appear:
The form fields are as follows:
- Title - the title of the user profile field (e.g. Location)
- Description - description of the field (eg. Where do you live?).
- Maximum Input - this indicates the maximum number of characters/letters that the user can type into this field.
- Field Length - how many characters long shall the input field appear on the form? (default value = 25)
- Display Order - if you would like the profile fields to appear in a specific order, include a number in this field that corresponds to the order number of this profile field.
- Field required - tick the yes option if you would like to require the user to fill in this field.
- Field hidden - if you select yes for this option, only administrators and moderators will be able to view the contents of this field. The user will still be able to edit this information via the user control panel.
