[UPDATE] New accounts now only require three fields to sign up:
- Username
- Password (with confirmation)
Everything else — real name, date of birth, address, phone, country — is optional and can be filled in later from Account Settings → Personal Info.
What changed:
- Schema:
first_name,last_name,country,address_line1,city,state_province,postal_code,phone,date_of_birth,sexonusersare now nullable. AuthController::handleRegistervalidates only the core identity fields (plus Terms + CAPTCHA).templates/auth/register.phpcollapsed to 4 inputs + Terms + CAPTCHA — no more multi-section form.templates/profile/settings.phpdrops therequiredattribute on name fields and adds Prefer not to say (sex) and Select… (country) options so empty values are preserved.
Existing users are unaffected — their profile data remains intact.
