That is a really old plugin.. Sure that one works? Please read more on editing templates in the codex, which is like a huge WP user guide.

anyone ?
"post/author templates" is going to very depending on the theme you're using. Go to Appearance/Editor in your admin panel and look for things like "Post", "Single", "Author", etc. Once you have found the templates, cross-reference the code with some visual "landmarks" to get an idea of where you want this to appear in reference to everything else. Once you have found your "landmarks", add the following:
<?php the_author_gaming_codes(); ?>
I would also like to echo Funkphenomenon's concern that this is a very old plugin and may not function at all.

ok is there a way to add more fields for users when they register ? for example a regular forum would as for :
Name :
Email :
Website :
Bio :
and since im building a gaming forum i would like to add stuff like :
Xbox 360 Gamertag
PS3 gamertag
and so on...
so how can i do that ?
again i dont know any sort of coding
No, there's no way to do that in the core, but since you're building a gaming community, you may interested in BuddyPress which allows you to do far more than just WordPress, including the creation of custom user fields.
