I notice we still have fields in our profile where we can include our ICQ number and MSN/Yahoo handle. It might just be the circles I run in but I don't think anyone actually uses those much anymore.

Could we instead (or additionally) add a field for us to include a link to our Facebook or Twitter or Skype accounts? That's what the kids are really using today!

We have a Skype field. :(

Should be easy enough to add, same as we did for theO and myO user names in profiles. I'll look into it.

Done.

There we go. Thank you, Petie. It's almost hard to remember a time where we didn't have you to do all of the work for us.

Always glad to help when I can ^_^

Also, for reference, the Facebook field is designed to be used with the custom URL you can choose for your account (i.e. the jsmith part of http://www.facebook.com/jsmith). The custom URL is the preferred method, however, if you never chose a URL or simply do not wish to use it, the input to that box should only be after the http://www.facebook.com/ part the URL or your link will not work.

I distinctly remember planning to add these as soon as I had some time for it but somewhere along the way I completely forgot. Whoops.

There should be more of such field that should be added modified as nowadays everyone has an account in Skype or Twitter or Facebook.

All three of those fields currently exist on your edit profile page. Skype is not built in to the vB profile system and as for the other two, just take a look towards the bottom, which is where all custom fields appear.
