Okay maybe not the right place for it, and I'm not sure theres anything you can do to help me out.

I'm new here, and me and a few of my buddies I game with might be setting up a team, which means we'll want a team site, and in turn forums to post on and what not.

I've already got info on how to integrate the login to the site so we can login on the site and get logged into the forums as well.

But my question is this, can I have some type of code that once the user logs in, it then allows them to edit a personal page of theirs on the site, not the forums, kind of like how the site enjin has it set up?

Basically, on Enjin (which is a free clan site hosting website) on the front page of your site, you would log in, which would then get you into the forums, but also, you can then visit your "account" where you can change all your info and like avatar and such.

My question is not how to get that page to do that, it's how to allow them to access such a page after they have logged into the site/forums.

If I'm not making sense I'd be more than happy to try to explain it a bit better.

Much appreciative for those that take the time to read and help!

While MyBB has tried to steer clear of the "social networking" side of things, which many people argue other forum software has become, there are some plugins that will help you:

Those should get you started but also have a search around at:

Thank you! I'm not necessarily looking for it to be a social network it's for a clan site so members can put up personal bios but thanks

MyBB already has a Bio profile field built in.

Here is a good mod that completly changes the profiles (it has a mini page for Bio):

He wants to be able to let users build custom pages for themselves.
So basically, they can log in on the site (Not the forums) and be able to enter information into a text field to make a customized page for themselves (On the site, not the forums.)

exactly, although the pages on enjin do look just like regular forum user pages, I'll mess around and bump this thread later on after I mess with it and see what I can come up with

But thank you all for replying and helping me out!
