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!

I installed Xoops today via my account with WebHostingHub.com. I'm very impressed with Xoops' functionality. But I have a strange issue with the logon page. The left side of the screen shows the correctly formatted fields for Username, Password, Remember me, User Logon, Lost Password, and Register Now. But then, all the fields are repeated in a pane to the right, but with different labels... such as _US_REMEMBERME, _US_NOTREGISTERED, _US_NOPROBLEM, _US_YOUREMAIL, and _US_SENDPASSWORD.

This was not there when I first installed the Xoops -- but showed up a bit later. I even uninstalled Xoops and reinstalled clean, and the same thing happened.

How can I get these duplicated fields to not show?
