required fields in profile

Hey guys. I cannot find where to make the profile fields required or optional for new member signups. I would like to have as few required fields as possible.

Any ideas?

oops! I just figured it out!

You need to do 2 things to mark it as truly required.  First you need to go into Profile Fields Editor and in Misc options you can select to make it mandatory.  That only ads the red * and doesn't to anything else to ensure mandatory field entering.

Next for text input items such as user name, you need to enter a value for the minimum length, if you don't the user can enter nothing and the form will mark it valid.
