Hi Vijay

To a large extent this facility is already in place in the members profile. Maybe not too obvious, but just click on members username and their profile will come up. Here members can display their contact details and other information (to enter information go to "user CP" >"edit profile" and "edit options") Though, access to this information is restricted to logged in members only.

Much of this information though is not mandatory, in order to respect personal privacy. Most members allow email and private messages via the forum, but even this can be restricted (edit options in user CP)

For those members that wish to display more or edit information about themselves, have a good look through "User CP". If there does not appear to be a section relevant to the data you want to enter, just put it in the box labelled "Bio".

Also, members can enter information as a short message which will automatically be appended to the bottom of your posts. Go to "User CP" >"Your Profile" >"Change Signature"

I will take this opportunity to ask our longer term members to indicate their location if they have not already ("user CP" >"edit profile"). A vague location on our planet earth will do, full address not necessary It does help members in answering many queries. New and more recent members will not be effected as location is now a requirement of registration.

Hope that goes some way to answering your question.
