SUGGESTION:
a mass email to all existing members, including all information that they would need to understand what the User CP function does. then, with each new signup, the same email automatically explaining how this info helps and, again, what it does.

call me crazy, but i think that might just work a little better than the "case by case" method employed right now. hope this helps.

It would save on god knows how many posts asking for people to fill it in before advice is given. All the best, Aaron __________________ Do not follow where the path may lead.

Most of the user fields can be completed at registration now. The latest release of the software enabled a "optional, but ask at registration" option. Before it had just been mandatory or optional. Thanks for the suggestion! Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!
