jaydub commentedI'd like to hook into changes to the user profile such as updated avatars, signatures and such. As for other profile fields what kind of fields did you have in mind? Obviously since profile fields of all sorts can be created other than the standard profile items stored in the user table an activity module for user profile could be pretty open-ended.

EgonO commentedI think it should be possible to watch the changes of the non-standard profile-fields in general and just output a message like "user xyz has changes his profile"...
but i think it is possible to create message per field in general, just something like "userxyz changes {field-name} on his/her porfile" or something like that.
to output an message on avatar-change make sense, signature-change i think isnt usefull at all.

jaydub commentedThe 5.4 and 6.1 branches have had a new 'useractivity' module added in CVS. For now this just tracks activity such as new user signup, user login/logoff and a generic 'profile updated' message when the 'update' operation is called via hook_user().
Some further refinement could be done to explicitly record changes to specific fields as per this issue but for now we'll start with just some basic user activity.
