1. I do not want users to post their pictures within a thread. Instead, I want to allow users to post a picture of themselves within their profile. How is this accomplished within VB3? I only see things such as Location, Occupation, Interests, Biography, etc. Is there anyway we can allow users to upload their picture to their profile on VB3?

2. On the profile page, I want to provide a link to the user's homepage IF they built their homepage using our homepage builder. Therefore, the forum administrator would have the sole right to add the user's homepage URL address to their profile page. Is this feasible? Can the administrator be the only person to modify (not even the user can make modifications) a field within a user's profile?

1. We have an option for user profile pictures in vBulletin 3. this is set up as a usergroup permission.

2. This would require some modification to the core system. At the very least you would have to remove the existing field from the templates and add in a new custom field that only the admin can modify. At the most you would have to change the php code on how the field works.

At the very least, regarding #2, could you add static HTML text to the profile page that would say "Help support our boards, build your wedding website using: http://www.thewebsite.com"

I'd assume that would be easy to add this text to the profile page...Correct?

Yes, you can modify the template to add any static text you wish.
