extended user information
I'm new to Vanilla so please bear with me for a sec.
I just migrated a whole forum from proboards to a vanilla install and just can't seem to duplicate some functionality.
- It's a really close knit community where we like to give a shout when it's someone's B'day so I need to find a way to include B'day dates as part of the user info automatically.
- gender: We used to have a "ladies only" lounge where only ladies were allowed and that category was password protected. I figured I can use the multiple roles extension to replicate that (unless there's an easier way to just password protect the category). So I need to reliable way to get people gender and display it.
How hard would it be to write an extension that allows you to ask for specific information from users ( 2 or 3 extra labels) and display them with user info on the side bar.

This way, unauthorized people will not even see the category.
- I was thinking about a straight up "ladies only" role but it wouldn't work for the structure of the forum... multiple roles will work a bit better for this.
thanks guys
I've decided to move from vanilla to punBB or SMF once i figure out how to migrate. I'll keep vanilla as a my favourite forum software for tech stuff and new communities but it's had to get people to change their habits.
