[Plugin: Customize Your Community] Customize User Meta Data

I am looking to customise the personal details within the cyc plugin.

I have modified the code to take into account the additional fields using add/update_user_meta. (I have created inputs etc…)

This is working adequately but due to the mechanics of the redirect from user_edit.php, I lose all $_POST values and cant commit the input field values.

Could someone provide some insight into this for me? Or perhaps another solution?… that doesnt involve another plugin, e.g. register-plus.
