I created four profile-fields under the same category. On creation of the fields, I set the options "Visibility = Hidden", "The user must enter a value. " and "Visible in user registration form." on each field to be true. Neither on registration nor on visiting my profile as admin (there is no category tab) those additional fields are visible. The fields are created in the datebase-table "profile_fields".

Attached, you will find some screenshots.

Patch looks nice, although there is a dot missing from the end of the first message. (There was a time when we did not use to have dots at the end of messages, I wonder what the current practice is). Also I would write "cannot" instead of "can not", but this should be checked by a native English speaker, I guess.

I was looking through and saw a lot of dots on the ends of messages, so I added one to the first message. I changed can not to cannot and the second message reads

A hidden field cannot be set to visible on the user registration form.

instead of "set to be visible."

Here's the patch, should be ready to go.

Thanks, committed. I guess this needs to be backported.
