What extra profile fields have you added?


A couple of my sites still only have the standard profile fields, so I'm looking for ideas for interesting fields to add. It was easy on my ice cream forum, that one I added stuff like "favorite flavor", "favorite ice cream parlor" and most people fill it out. Any ideas for new profile fields?

I have 'please share your name (first name, at least)' and 'are you planning a trip to Disney' as to of the additional fields that I added.

You could also add "favorite Disney character" and "favorite Disney movie", but I don't think those would fly on my forum ;)

LOL.....good idea Michele. I should have those instead of 'Bio' fields.

This way, I know what type of 'movie reviews' along with affiliate links to those movies and soundtracks to put out there!

Re: What extra profile fields have you added?


I always thought the "Biography" field was a bit too much pressure to put on someone just joining a site. How do they know yet how much they're comfortable revealing to the other members? I think it's better to just keep it light.

I think that's pretty neat idea, I might try that on one of my forums...

I added the panic button LOL And you have to pick where you want the site to go if you turn it on in your profile.
