 ===What is the User Profile?===
-Joomla is a very powerful CMS system, but when it comes to extending the '''user object''', it is not very good solution to use. In latest versions of Joomla, some effort is put into enhancing the user object with custom fields you can set using the built-in '''User - Profile''' plugin that is shipped with Joomla 2.5 and above; however, that is definitely inadequate for the needs of a user profile in a social network.<br/><br/>
+Joomla is a very powerful CMS system, but when it comes to extending the '''user object''', it is not very good solution to use.
 This is where the native Joomla profile manager will stop and the new profile manager, JomSocial's, will begin. For this transfer of control to occur, the '''Joomla User - Profile''' plugin must be '''''disabled'''''.
