If you don't fill out the profile after first creating your account, you will never be asked to fill it out (until you try to sign up for a program).

This is a bigger issue on sites that use the activation e-mail. The link in the e-mail is the only thing responsible for directing you to the profile editing page. But you are first directed to the login page. If you log in with the login box on the side of the page, rather than the login page itself, or if you navigate away and then log in, etc. you will not be directed to the profile after logging in.

The server-side login logic should check to see if you have a profile, and if not, should tell the client to redirect to the profile editor.
