This might be a fairly complex hack but you could base it off of memberlist.php except only list the username and online gaming info, but there might be more to it than that, I'm not really sure.

I might look or ask on vb.org or something... I'm sure there's some simple solution.

Sorry I can't help with the technical stuff, I'm not very code savvy, or internet savvy for that matter...

I've added an Xfire field and have updated the Steam field, instead of inputting the display name, input your Steam ID. Also, because of some strange way Steam does things, I've taken out the link to the Steam profile, however, the Xfire one acts as a link to your profile page.

There is a typo here "Which platorms do you use your Microsoft Gamertag for?"
I think there are enough gaming related ID sections on the Edit Details page now that grouping them together like how the instant messaging part is could work.

Fixed typo.
Also, in peoples profiles, there is now a tab that lists the Online Gaming stuff next to the Contact Info tab... however, it still appears on the About Me tab because that's just how vB works.
As for the Edit Details page itself... if I could figure out how to change that, I would x.x

well i've been talking with lynk through pms, and i think he's gonna tweak the steam id a bit.
the way i've been explaining it to him, you're gonna want to put your steam id in the box, not the display name, only because you can change the display name whenever you want, but not your id. hopefully he'll get it to link to your steam id page too (for example, mine is Steam Community :: ID :: [DWR] Metal Man), but he also told me that some profiles are linked due to a different way (something like Steam Community :: ID :: [DWR] Metal Man's Server, my profile for a test server when i host)
if you guys are steam users, and your profile is linked via the second option, you'll have to change your setting. if you log in the steam community and edit your settings, there's a place that says custom url. if you have something in there, then it'll change to my first example.
(this might be more directed to kookee because i know he uses steam and his link to his profile is like my second example, but if anyone else uses steam and yours is setup like the second example, well now you know how to change it)

Yeah, I've made it so that when you input your Steam ID into the field, when it is listed in the red bars of peoples post, it appears as a link to your ID page. As in /id/username/ and not /profiles/numberstring/

There's now a "Add GamerCard to Signature" option for folks who want to display their Xbox/Windows Live stuff in your sig.
