 * When I sign up a user the check boxes don’t work. At first I thought it was all
   data. But when the new user marks a check box, that fails to save. The same is
   true when an existing user modifies check box or when admin does.

 * What do you have in the “values” area of the checkbox field definition?

 * It’s empty. I didn’t know to use them. Are they needed for checkboxes? Maybe 
   I’m a noob on this.

 * Yes, you need to tell the plugin what values you want it to save. Check this 
   help page out, lots of good info here: [Defining Participants Database Fields](http://xnau.com/work-2/wordpress-plugins/participants-database/defining-participants-database-fields/)
