Search options

hi,

i am very new to punbb but very much like what i see.

i would like to be able to add data for each user....lets say name, address, etc.

is there something already built-in to allow for that?  i am using 1.3

if not, should i just add my fields to the user table...but then if i do, is there a built-in way to access the fields? 

if there is already information on this somewhere in the forum, i didnt see it...so please just let me know what to search on.

thanks so much!
