Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. That's why those modules you mentioned exist. If you really want to, you can hack all the core files related to the profile yourself. But that's what the modules do for you in a more systematic and supported way.

If you're just changing one of the existing profile fields, then you can do that in the registration form just the same as you did in the regular profile form. You just have to make the change to a different file, check register.php, and I think there may be a separate include file involved as well that contains the actual form, you should be able to find references to it in the register.php file to get you started. You should just be able to alter the text and the form element itself to include your new options.

Good luck!

Maybe you changed every single reference to icq into gender? But you have to be careful because you probably need to keep the database queries that refer to the icq field the same, so they use that name, since that will be the name of the field in the database, even though you're putting a different kind of data in it.

Not sure if that's your answer. That's about all I can suggest at this point.

turn on MySQL debug in preferences and see if there's any errors in the query when submitting & viewing.
