adding additional info in user profiles

[RGSMDNR]

I run a car based forum and thouhgt it would be neat if a user can display their track times/horse power numbers under their avatar or something,

any thoughts?

You can add custom fields to the profile yourself if you follow [Unknown]'s tutorial, which is located at http://unknown.network32.net/tutorial.smf_customize-profile

And try not to post feature/modification requests in this board, it's for completed tips and tricks.

If you need help, just ask.

great thanks..

[RGSMDNR]

ok well what i am trying to do is add the following,

Horsepower (enter it in the profile and display under the avatar)
Torque (enter it in the profile and display under the avatar)
Track time (enter it in the profile and display under the avatar)

this is what i have so far... not too sure why it says < br and all that..



here is what displays under the avatar

Could you post the code you added to the files, along with a few lines above and below the added code? Looks like you have some ' out of place or something.
