*Understanding this topic is ancient, but it has to be answered sometime*

Mystro,
This is a problem I've tussled with for about a week, and I've finally found the answer to the problem and hand. Adding additional fields to the registration form can be done in two ways. The first, which i prefer, is by navigating to admin»contact»fields. Here you'll be able to add new fields and modify the old preset ones. This is my preferred option because places the fields in the same block section as the original preset fields.

The second option is applicable to those who want to create another block below the original two including their new customized fields. This is accessed by navigating to admin»users»configure»profiles. This will also allow you to create fields, using the types that are available to further customize the registration process.

Glad to help!
:-D

That first option is not in Drupal core. I assume it is Civicspace-related? Thanks for providing a good answer.

...when I go look for admin»contact»fields it aint there (okay, so perhaps this is civic-space only) and then under the 2nd option, admin»users»configure»profiles where is this "profiles"? Where are the custom fields? Are these the fields being referred to in the 1st option?

Has anyone figured this out?

--edit--
oh wait, think I found it. Maybe this will help others too--> http://drupal.org/node/31411

For 4.7, try enabling the profiles module (admin > profile) and then accessing the profiles settings (admin > settings > profiles). There should be options to add fields.... but, I just realized these are fields for a user to add to his/her profile... not registration. hmmm...

Sorry if I am missing a previous post on this but I created a new field but even though I set its weight to 5 it is placing it at the top of the form - how do I change this.

So the Constant Contact field should be after the user name and password.

Thanks,
Steve

I added new fields through profiles and check the show on registration form option, but they appear under a subscriptions heading on the form. I can't find a way to move the fields or remove the header.
