It also allows users to have a way to promote themselves, which allows us to state it as a benefit of being in our community. - I.e., "By joining our community, other members can read about you and connect with you."

We should be able to control what they can add to their profile, but options for text boxes, images, website links, social links, etc.

As an administrator I would like to have customer fields to add to Profiles so members and I could learn more about what we have to offer each other, what we have in common, and additional information. As the profiles stand currently, they're rather benign and boring.

Even being able to label and fill in custom fields would be a nice step up from rigid social profile links (no YouTube, etc currently)

There are a LOT of requests for User Profile Upgrades in Feature Requests. User Profiles are the single biggest weak spot in HeartBeat. Anyone know why these requests just seem to be swept under the rug?

This is the feature I've been waiting for. As an admin I'd like to be able to provide customized fields to link or attach each user's personality charts and link to a gig on another site such as Fiverr or Simbi. But if the user could customize their own as well, such as to add multiple gig urls then then that would be the pinnacle. Basically, we need to be able to go to a member's profile on the fly and learn (or refresh) everything I need to know about them so I can serve them most effectively during live sessions or when responding to posts.

Would love that!

I would love to be able to add additional images like badges, etc. Would showcase accomplishments or levels of membership.

… And allow admins to create templates for different types of user s to utilise.
