Hi Gary,

Not sure how simple you need, but you can use the UserMeta plugin to extend the jos_users table. Might be just what you need. Unfortunately I'm on my cell phone right now, but search for it and you should be able to find it. We extend it at PICnet as a base quite a bit.

However, as Joomla has advanced, I was more and more turned off from Community Builder because CB maintains compatibility with Joomla 1.0, Mambo, and 1.5  - as such they re-implement a lot of features that are in Joomla 1.5 and now 1.6 because the other platforms did not have those features.
