The issue your going to run into is that on the home page the users profile might or might not be set.

When the admin visits a profile, they take on that profiles id until they visit another profile. Same issue with people with more than one profile. Its expected that stuff will be added to profiles, not really the home site. You could try and get it to work like that by making sure there is a profile id set.

Its just not intended behaviour. Same with adding stuff. if you go from a location other than the users profile to /something/create you risk the profile id not being set and it appearing in a location you weren't expecting.

Yeah...i got you...i understand, when I tried the form on the home page a long time ago..i really didn't check around for any different behavior...i was kind of happy that it look like it worked..but truly maybe it didn't work...it populated on the home page but now I understand it may have not truly connected with the users profile..i never checked
Thanx Michael

In most cases its not going to be a problem because the user will have _some_ profile_id that belongs to them set. Its just going to be the rare cases, so test well on:
* just logged in and not visited a profile yet
* user owns two (or more) profiles

It was a while ago when I was looking at doing something similar and put this code in my template:
{if !isset($_user.profile_id) && isset($_user._profile_id)}
    {$_user.profile_id = $_user._profile_id}
{/if}
"If the user doesn't have a $_user.profile_id, then use the home one from their user account." It was needed for what I was fiddling with at the time, you'd need to test. Might not be needed, not sure.

bump this tread on Wednesday. I'm in New Zealand right now but back in Tokyo on Wednesday. I'll setup a test structure when I get home. If you have the code where your at, that would make it easer to get set up. :)
