So far so good with Xoops. Had a few problems I was able to work around, but I'm stuck on these last 2 issues.

1. I added some new fields to User Profile and set them as "Not Required". However, when you update your profile, if you leave the field empty, you get a message saying the field is required.

2. I read somewhere that this next issue was fixed, but I cannot find and details as to where/how... if you add a new field in User Profile and set the Field Type to "Text Field" and then the field Value Type to "URL", it you type in a valid url, it does not appear as an active link in User Profile. It's just plain text.

FYI, my site is hosted by Web Hosting Hub with their standard installation of Xoops 2.4.4

I am not really a programmer, so the less technical the answers, the more I'll be able to comprehend

Thanks!
