I run a product directory site and i'd like to tag username as a [vendor] or [member] by a selection on sign up form.

Is this possible...?

Username + TAG is basically what I need.

Really depends where you need to display this. If you simply want to display the username + tag in the profile you can use a delimiter field displaying both (www.allmysocials.com/tutorials for Delimiter magic).
If you want the formated username to be username + tag you could use the professional user's CB Query incubator plugin to alter the corresponding database item when the user registers.

Thanks for that - looks like I'd need the Pro edition, sadly I'm running an open source project and it becomes to expensive to keep buying lots of memberships & plugins

I would want it to appear next to the username without the user having the choice - anything else I can do? or is that the only options?

Cheers!

Heyai,

I can't seem to find "Delimiter magic" on the tutorials... I had left it to this weekend as I could then really focus on it Could you point me in the right direction.

Have a look at the subsitution tutorials. They'll tell you all you need to know and with nant's example your issue should be no problem anymore. Sorry for the confusion
