Deprecated - Social software and communities

I am wondering if anyone knows if there is anyway a form could be generated and sent to those users when they are signed up as leaders. I would like to specify the number of users the leader has paid for and allow them to fill out a single form assigning usernames and passwords for those they have paid for.

I am interested in understanding more about the module "views" .

I have read the intro but an none the wiser.

It enables me to control the front page in some way but I cannot quite see how?!

Is it possible to have a customn link to user profiles?

For example: If someone registers at my site and chooses "Chupa" as username. That the link to his profile page is "www.thenameofmysite.com/Chupa" instead op "www.thenameofmysite.com/?q=user/3"

So what I bassicly mean is that the ?q=user/# part gets replaced with the username.

I have been searching for a couple of days now en couldn't find anything helpfull.

I am newbie to Drupal as well as PHP development,

I created a new content form and in it i am using few "cck taxonomy" fields. say filed name is "field_state" and taxonomy name is "state"
I also created a computed field and want to access tid and/or name of the term selected in the above field_state field.

I am looking for an Inbox functionality in Drupal. Something that can act as an Email Inbox holder.

Are there any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to make certain items in the users profile only editable by admins? For example, could I have the admins be able to attach a user image to each user, or assign them an office/status (President, Vice-President, User, Alumni, etc.). I would need these to be only controlled by the admins to prevent abuse by the users of my organization.
If this cant be done now, would I be able to develop a module that would give permisions to this sort of thing? Or could I just edit an existing module? Any leads into this would be great help. Thanks.
