For those upgrading from the 3.8.x mod, read this

KNOWN BUGS:
-Redirect isn't working, so after a user saves his page they will be redirected to the userCP instead of the page like before. No redirect message pops up. - Apparently a vB patch between 4.0.0 and 4.0.3 fixed this.

FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM 3.8.X: I haven't tested an upgrade scenario as of yet, however I did a small problem with the 3.8.x page template being overwritten and throwing a DB error. Just delete the page template manually and then re-upload the product.

This product will add a new page to the User CP for easy editing of specially marked profile fields, that for one reason or another you would like to split off from the main list.

NOTE: Any fields marked for this page will not be seen in the user's profile. You would need to install the Extra Profile Fields Tab addon (haven't updated it as of yet) to do this.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). With an ADDITIONAL product (e.g. NOT this one), I place these specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile as an extra tab.

Here's some examples of how I use the 3.8.x version of this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):
