Anyone knows about the Advanced Profile Fields Pack related issue, i.e. this extension here: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/adancedpf/

My admin's and also my testing account's custom profiles show up, but not to my newly made profile's.
Does it have some kind of a rule that newly registered accounts don't display them?
Sorry for asking it here, but the discussion forum for this isn't that active.

Thanks!

EDIT: I figured out that the Newly Registered Users weren't allowed to do almost anything.
If someone knows how to copy all the permissions from the "ordinary" registered users then please let me know.

Newly registered users do not need to have their permissions copied from ordinary users. The group works by having some permissions set to Never, which override some of the permissions they would have by being a registered user. To allow them to edit their profile fields, go to your ACP > Permissions > Group Permissions > Newly Registered Users (in the dropdown menu) > Advanced Permissions

Then find "Can change profile field information." It is set to Never by default, so change it to No. Then click "Apply Permissions."

If you want to disable the Newly registered user group altogether, so new users have all registered user permissions, then go to ACP > General > User registration settings

Then set "New member post limit" to 0 (by default, it is set to 3).
