Hi Neil,

The address fields can be populated from User -> Preferences -> Manage your information -> User Addresses. You can also create custom forms - see the "Manage form definitions" link in the admin section.

I believe it used to be possible to make custom "User Information" forms required at registration, but unfortunately this isn't working for me in testing, so it may have broken somewhere along the way (this feature is very rarely used).

Hi,
when a new user creates a new account they only need an email address and password. This can be quite tricky to identify the user/demographics etc at a alter point. Is there a form that a user may complete where he could add optional data such as name, institution, address etc ? There is a table (user_address) that stores this information just not sure how/if it's populated

Thanks
Neil
