About User
This component adds an additional profile subpage named About showing some basic member information like gender, age, etc. retrieved from the member's account data.
The accessibility of the About page depends on the mode which was chosen on the account settings page. The three available options are public (visible for everyone), friends only, or nobody (except of the account owner and administrators).
Note: About User can NOT be used in parallel with the Custom Profile Fields component. Whenever Custom Profile Fields gets enabled, About User will be disabled automatically.

@Z Man ... I am using a heavily modified version of your greenbygreen theme here, and about user works just fine.

@Scotty maturin
I can confirm your issue now. But it's not caused by this component but by an incompatibility of several themes with the latest Ossn. I left a note on those theme pages and I'm looking foreward there'll be fixes available soon.

I don't see any help in an answer like that. Scotty did not report issues with GreenByGreen - he reported issues with a DARK theme he is using.
@Scotty maturin
Since there is more than one 'dark' theme:
please be so kind and tell us the exact name of the theme you are using

Verified now: About User 4.1 is working flawlessly on Ossn 5.3 free.
Please provide more details regarding your configuration - see https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/wiki/view/1101/how-to-report-a-bug-error
And please note that About User will be disabled automatically in case you're running the Custom User Fields component (see Changes above)

There are chances that About User 4.1 is not compatible with Ossn 5.3
I put a read mark on top for it now.
Needs some time to investigate...

Hi.. I am new to this but learn really quick.
I need to know what has to be done to get the "About" to show on the page.
I have the component installed and enabled but the About is not showing on the page, profile or in the admin section.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
