@Michael3185:

The user profile fields are simply items in a PHP array. You can remove an item from the array to remove the profile field, or add a new item to the array to add a new profile field.

<?php



/*

Plugin Name: My Profile Fields

Description: My profile fields for my lovely forums

Version 1.0

*/



function my_profile_fields( $fields ) {

/* This removes the Occupation profile field: */

unset( $fields['occ'] );

/* This adds a new optional field called Favourite Band: */

$fields['faveband'] = array(0,'Favourite Band');

/* This adds a new *required* field called State: */

$fields['state'] = array(1,'State');

/* You must return the array at the end of the function: */

return $fields;

}



add_filter( 'get_profile_info_keys',  'my_profile_fields' );



?>

Save the code above as a .php file and upload it to your my-plugins directory (you may need to create this directory in the root of your forums installation) and then activate it from the Plugins menu in the bbPress admin area.

Edit: Code updated as a complete example of a plugin.
