This is the thread we will begin profile field mapping for UBB Version 6. It will make modifications that use the profile fields much more standardized, assist borg in his "vinkulum" modification, make trouble-shooting more efficient, and avoid most of the problems we had in our last upgrade.
This will probably be the order we need to go in to begin with this:
1. Map the current profile fields in V6 - the easiest part and should be done in the next day or so. - done 02/04
2. Decide if we should use the custom profile fields for standard modifications or allow the user to use them. In other words, most of the work is already done with the 4 custom profile fields already written in, should we use these now? Most likely, yes.
3. Assign profile fields to modifications on a first-come, first served basis, unless by vote of majority we think one deserves precedence over another. We should also leave room for Infopop's further development by starting with several blank profile fields after the current list.
4. Organize development to where a developer working on a new modification "applies" for a profile field and it is assigned based on the above.
Here is the start of the mapping for v6 profile fields. Profile numbers start with "0" for user name and progress from there.

We'll update this post as we go to keep everyone on the same page. Its success is up to you, this should make it much easier to keep track of where we are in terms of the profile fields and make development go faster.
I welcome and encourage your input.
