that's right - it's red starred which means its required

renderosity has no reason to require an address or phone number UNLESS they wish to bill you for the marketplace and I for one have never used the marketplace to buy stuff from rendo' at all. If I ever do then of course I will fill in any and all details necessary. However until then  rendo' doesn't need my address or phone and so these details should not be required fields for all members. Besides I get enough spam as it is...

What got my goat was that it kept giving me errors until I filled 'something' in at least. So I filled in some crap just so I could update the other fields and the profile in general.

Therefore this feature should be changed
