Need Subscriber profile page

I need help, and sorry if this has been explained before, but I’ve been through all the Codex and support forums and I still cant make a profile page. Duh!

What I’m trying to create is a pop up profile page so that when a member’s name is clicked on, you/me/other members can see their details from the profiles they’ve written
(name/description/URI/hobbies/etc) on a separate page. Seems simple enough, but apparently not for me.

I’m running WP version 2.0.5 – my site is http://www.casualvices.com, and based on the

following support topic http://wordpress.org/support/topic/35206 here’s what I’ve done so far…

Before the comment loop started in comments.php, I inserted the following…

‘<?php
$profiles = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, user_description FROM $wpdb->users”);
foreach($profiles as $profile) {
$desc[$profile->ID] = $profile->user_description;
}
?>

<?php if ( $comments ) : ?>

<ol id=”commentlist”>

<!—the loop–>

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

• <p><?php comment_type(__(‘<!— guest profile here –>’), __(‘Trackback’),

  __(‘Pingback’)); ?><?php comment_author_link() ?> <?php comment_date(‘m/j/y’) ?> <?php

  comment_time() ?> PST <?php edit_comment_link(__(“Edit This”), ‘ |’); ?></p>
  <?php comment_text() ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<!—end loop–>

Then immediately outside the commemt loop I inserted the following…

<?php echo $desc[$comment->user_id]; ?>’

When I go to comments, I get the following error…

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_description’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT ID, user_description FROM wp_users

Any solutions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
