How do I enable user profile pages showing the commenter's latest comments, entries, and other info so that readers can see them? I know of a plugin that does it (User Profiles), but you have to pay to create user profile pages, and I'd much rather do it myself for free. Oh, and is there a noob-proof guide on how to put userpics in comments? Thanks!

I think profile pages are a feature of the community / forum templates rather than classic blogs.

So basically, if I wanna use profile pages on a non-Community blog, I have to pay for that plugin. Sucks.

No, but it might require more work that ticking a check box. I haven't had a chance to look at the community features yet so I don't know what exactly is required.

Profiles are a feature of the Community pack--now a part of MT Pro--and are not restricted to community-only blogs. But yes, they require more setup than ticking a checkbox.

Has anyone dug throw the code for user profiles yet?

I'd like to make a "Twitter" type widget so that my users profile pics show in the sidebar - plus have a lit of all users. Easy to do or not?

Is there any tutorial that can be used for this purpose? Sometime we miss out some of the basic stuffs :-)
