(yeah, another one)
I feel that the available user profile fields is currently *very* lacking at best. I've seen on VBulletin where admins can create their own fields complete with choices of dropdowns, checkboxes, etc. As UBBT is used in all sorts of settings and to support very unique groups, why is this not an option currently? For example, if I'm selling widgets A,B,C,D and E and I want to know how satisfied my customers are with them (and without having to create a new poll everytime I want to get updated opinions) I should allow them a dropdown with options of 1 - 5 to rate each one. They can than go into their profile at anytime and update these thus allowing me to pull a queury from the database anytime I want to see the current customer satisfaction ratings. I hope that made sense!!
I don't really expect an answer but I do want to throw my voice into the hat (can you throw your voice?) about allowing us to add unique fields to the user profile/registration sections of our boards. And if anyone has already created a mod for this, in the name of all things sacred, let me know!!!
