With some imagination there are many things you can do with Custom Profile Fields.
Below you will find a few examples of things you can do:

Other uses for Custom Profile Fields:
Warning SystemInfractions SystemRewards SystemYoutube Video in Profile
Make a Location Field: When someone registers on your forum there will be a Location Field where they can type in their location.
Their location will then show on their profile and in posts. You could also use this for asking them "How did you hear about our forum? etc. and have it show only on the profile, only you can see it. Use your imagination!
Go to Admin CP > Features and Options > Custom Profile Field
Check the box marked
ENABLE UNNAMED FIELD.Select the TEXT in the dropdown box then click
SETTINGSSettings Page:Name: The name you choose here is what will show up on their profile page.
Field Description: This is what will show up on their posts.
Show in Profile: Put a check here if you want it to show in the Profile
Show in Posts: Choose "show under post count"
Show on Registration?: Choose "Optional" or "Forced" (Forced will force them to answer the field)
Only allow admins to view field?: Choose this if you want to be the only one to see the field.
When making the custom profile field for your registration page, The "
NAME" field is a brief name for it, and the field description is where you need to type your question such as "How did you hear about us"?
Show secondary membergroup in posts or profile: (Could be used for rewards, warnings, use your imagination)
You will need to find/make the images you want to use, host them on someplace like Photobucket, get the "direct" links for them.
If you do not know what the direct link is:

Replace IMAGE URL with the url of the image you want to show in their posts/profile

Thanks to Kyouri for figuring this out.
Make sure the 'Parse BBC' is UNchecked.
Text to display before field (BBC is ok if enabled above)
<object width="300" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/
Text to display after field (BBC is ok if enabled above)
" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="300" height="300"></embed></object>
*Make sure there is no space before the first ' " ' sign, but that there is a space between it and ' type.... '.
All the member will need to do, is place all the text following the ' = ' sign in the video url, into the text field on their Forum Profile Information page, and click save.
This code can be modified to adjust the width and height of the player to better suit your needs, but remember to change them both in the 'before' AND 'after' codes.
