Hello,

Using Drupal 6, users can register and fill out additional profile fields.
After registration I would like it to be possible to add comments to users's profile pages.
How can I achieve this?

it may be possible with the content profile.module. It is my understanding that comments only work on content types/nodes. Profiles aren't content types/nodes in core.

When I use the Content Profile module I won't be able to force these fields to be entered during registration, right?

I'm not an expert on profiles. I really don't use them and haven't played with content profiles. Profiles can also be expanded on visually with the advanced profiles.module

Perhaps http://drupal.org/project/guestbook is what you want.

There are at least these options:

- You could enable comments using the content profile module
- You can use the panels module for the user profile page and enable comments on that panel page
- or use the guestbook module

Recently I used the guestbook module, because this way users can easily delete comments from others on their profile and get notifications of new comments.

However with the guestbook module you can't write comments on your own page as far as I know.

And you use ajax comments with the guestbook module?

It's very well possible to embed the guestbook on profile pages with some theming.

The module doesn't use ajax comments, that's true.

I am trying to get comments to display with no luck. I already enabled them on the content page I created for my user profile. All the CCk fields are displaying on the User page as needed. I use Panels to add other content to the user page, such as a favorites list, the privatemsg block, and relationship, but I cannot figure out how to add the comment section to the bottom of the user page. It doesn't show up by default and I don't see anything similar to what would add the comment functionality via panels as you mentioned. Could you please help me?

You could use the blog module if you only intend on having users comment on their own profiles.
