   This would be a fantastic plugin except for the fact that you can't create labels separate from your custom field keys. Any time you want to add some verbage to your profile page to help out your authors, you end up with a gigantic custom key. Worse, if you need to change the label on the field, you change the key as well, and lose all the data you've been collecting for that field.

   The other major problem that seems to affect all similar profile-customizing plugins is the inability to rearrange the custom fields. If you want to re-order them, you have to delete the custom fields starting from the bottom, and then recreate them -- once again, losing all your data.

   Good to know. I am setting up custom fields now and one thing I liked about Cimy UserExtra was that it was easy to reorder them and no data would be lost. Shame that UserExtra's downside is no clear way to incorporate those profiles into a page (members page)
