I do not know if I have done something weird or if this is sideproduct of come other module, but in edit->profile there is required field "Title" like in blog postings etc. How to get rid of this?

It's a node... It's going to have a title unless you use something like auto nodetitles to get rid of it.

I'm confused: aren't users very confused in general with the need to have to write the title here? I mean title for the user's profile information does not make much sense for me - am I misunderstanding something?

Anyway, the solution would be to use auto nodetitles to fill title automatically and then hide the title somehow? Err, I have the feeling I might be confused here too.. 8)

Depends on your site and whether you want to let users title their own profile. If you don't, the solution is as I said: auto nodetitles.

Thank you. Sorry for not seeking well through it in the first place. I was confused about auto nodetitles purpose.

Just a comment to this closed thread--I too think that on Profiles there should be no Title field by default (behind the scenes, it should default to the user's name)--it's confusing to require the user to put in a title--a profile is generally understood to be "Bob Smith's Profile" page.

(There certainly could also be an option to allow for custom titles of profiles--but you shouldn't require a separate module to provide such a basic feature as -not- requiring users' to title their profiles).

@daneyuleb - If you don't think it should require a module to hide a title on a node, file a feature request against core. Commenting on a closed issue in an unrelated module doesn't do anything useful, unless your only goal was to share your opinion.
