Thanks to the core for the wonderfull 4.3 release. I've been waiting weeks to dive into the new profile code. This is going to make my life ALOT easier

I noticed this when logged in with a regular user:

• the link  to the membership/profile page next to the login button disappears
• There is now a module with the old profile interface so regular user can manage their profile

Now the questions

1. Can I change the Dotnetnuke.Entities.Users.UserProfile type with another Type to provide Intellisense for my extended profile properties?
2. Sindce the UserAccount module only takes the default profile properies in account, I suppose I have to write a custom module for my users to edit their profile
3. How do I get the profile editor control to only show a group of profile properties, ex "Contact Info"
4. a profile property has a type, can I add my own types + editor (dropdown list with my own values)
5. a profile property has a type, but UserProfile.GetPropertyValue only returns string
1. Whats up with that?
2. Should I serialize complex types to xml and store them like that in the profile?
3. What about storing Images in the profile for avatars? How should I do that?

These are my questions for the moment.
