 * I hope this is the right sub-forum for this…
 * I need a simple way to add ONE new field of information to the user profile page.
   To be specific it would be a user’s membership ID number.
 * I have searched and searched and every page I have found with modifications tips
   seem to use the same simple example of adding a Twitter field (something which
   is ALREADY in the core, but just not enabled). There are also plugins, but these
   add new information fields via the registration process. In other words, the 
   user enters in the information.
 * What I specifically need is a new field: Membership ID which should only be editable
   by an Administrator (or I suppose Editor could as well). The user should not 
   be able to change their own ID number.
 * Can someone please point me to a plugin or tutorial for doing this? Like I said,
   my Googling gets me tons of results on adding editable fields or registration
   fields, but nothing on Admin-only fields.
 * Thank you.
    Ray

 * Seriously, has no one ever had to add a NON-EDITABLE user profile field??
