To be honest, I'm very new at this stuff. I've had to trawl through many files (some of which I doubt I could remember even now) to edit, and I would have no idea about how to make it into a mod. That's best left to the experts on this site! ops:

You can download an Enhanced Admin (Module or Block cant remember ) that allows you to add fileds to ie : Your Account

However this is the only place information like that would appear, if you wanted to see extra information in eg: profile or posters profile, you would need to edit such files as above.

Thanks again Marty.

It's pretty much working how I want it to now, ie with the icon below each post, and the extra line in Your Account. I guess if I'd used the Enhanced Admin, then that may have only done half of what I wanted (which is better than nothing).

I have one minor issue to resolve and that's the fact that now each member has in their 'Your Account', in the space where you add your xfire name, it actually says "XFIRE id: " in that space, instead of a blank space ready for the name to be entered. I checked the mysql tables and the MSN etc entries all say NULL, and have a zero, whereas the line you suggested adding says "DEFAULT 'xFire id : 'NOT NULL;" - would I be correct in assuming that is where it comes from? I should I change it to suit the other tables?

That was probably my fault above where i have the sql txt

if you run that again but remove the red bit : see below

ALTER TABLE nuke_users ADD user_xfire VARCHAR(25) DEFAULT ' xFire id : 'NOT NULL;

Well 'fault' isn't the right word as you were being very helpful, besides you did say 'someone should check it first'. I appreciate the help.

I will do that as soon as I get home (at work at the moment), thanks for the help again.

-Pete.

p.s. Are spaces important to get right in this part "DEFAULT ' xFire id : 'NOT NULL;" for when I remove the xFire id: section?

Is this how is should look:

ALTER TABLE nuke_users ADD user_xfire VARCHAR(25) DEFAULT ''NOT NULL;

Run this......

ALTER TABLE nuke_users ADD user_xfire VARCHAR(25) DEFAULT ' ' NOT NULL;

Cheers. Sorry I'm being a bit dense, it's been a long day!

Yep, that did the job, thanks mate!
