Currently, the custom fields can be set via the user preferences which is awesome but unfortunately they are given low priority at the bottom of the “Other” category alongside subscription-related settings. I would prefer to see them up higher under “About me” which makes more sense and gives them the prominence they deserve.

We’ve had some people complain with difficulty finding our custom fields as well, so this would be great.

This is probably ok @techapj can you move the custom fields up in the layout as mentioned?
