[quote author="valendesigns" date="1272141227"]Wouldn't it make more sense if the user info was in the users table? Why is there a user_profiles table anyhow? If you are wanting to add additional user info on signup then you need to add the columns to the users table, correct?[/quote]
I think the idea was to keep the 'user' table separate from the 'user_profile' table - so if future updates to Tank_Auth are released then it wouldnt change your own code...
There's nothing stopping you merging them into one (as I have done) if it suits you better
