Topic: Extra yes/no field in profile for mailing list

How can I add an extra field to people's profile to allow them to specify that they are happy to receive email from me (the admin/owner).

I think it was specifically asked on sign-up in PhpBB and my hosts insist that I give people the option to opt-out.

Is there a mod to do this?
Is it simple to add a tickbox to an existing profile form?
Does it cause any problems to add fields to the member table?

Thanks!

Adding colums to a table won't cause any problems, if you do it correctly that is tongue and adding a checkbox to the profiles isn't to hard. Just copy and paste then rename, and make sure to add in the new value to the select and update queries.

echo "deadram"; echo; fortune;
