I've already mentioned above but I'm a complete newbie to all this. Breaking down the code is unfortunately not really an option for me at this point. I know it's like reading something in your native language for most of you however it's completely foreign to me. If anybody can tell me exactly what I need to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks redarrow. Where do I put this code at though?

Yes I am. Sorry about that.

I think I may have started off on the wrong foot and I apologize. I want to preface this with the fact that I'm a complete newbie with php. I have since discovered that I can make custom profile fields in the ACP which I tried to do for a referral box on the registration page. Unfortunately I'm now getting this error when I click on 'profile type specific options'. General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' [1267] SQL SELECT field_ident FROM phpbb_profile_fields WHERE field_ident = 'how did you hear about usʔ' BACKTRACE FILE: includes/db/mysql.php LINE: 174 CALL: dbal->sql_error() FILE: includes/acp/acp_profile.php LINE: 616 CALL: dbal_mysql->sql_query() FILE: includes/functions_module.php LINE: 471 CALL: acp_profile->main() FILE: adm/index.php LINE: 74 CALL: p_master->load_active() Thank you.

.....and what might that be?

My apologies. I forgot to include the question.......... Is there a way to do any or all of this?

I'm looking to add three things on the registration form on my forum. 1. I would like the members to be able to put in profile information right from the registration page. 2. I would like the members to be able to invite friends right from the registration page. 3. I would like to have a box on the registration page where the members can say how they found the page or who referred them. Thank you in advance to all. John
