I need to use few checkboxes in the registration form and later in the My Accout pages - how do I do that? There are only Text Input, Textarea and Select List to choose from and I really need checkboxes, is there any way I could do it?

Hi MaraJade,
What you can do is setup a text input field type for each of your checkboxes. The text input fields will hold the values selected when a checkbox is checked on your form. Now on your form simply put a checkbox html field with the same name as your custom member text input field and that should solve your problem. EE won’t care if the field on the form is a checkbox or input since it will store the value for it in correct place. I hope that helps.
