Social Sites Added - Dazz - 11-27-2011
You can now edit your social networking sites into your profile, so people can find you easier on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube, and other things that nobody uses.
There's a new link on your User CP, and near the bottom of the links on the left, there's a Social Sites section.

That's pretty awesome! I just added my Facebook and YouTube channel.

The Facebook link seems to be broken. I just had a very quick look so I'm not sure if you entered your URL wrong or if the site is incorrectly formatting the link but something is amiss.
RE: Social Sites Added - Garamonde - 11-27-2011
It works fine for me. Did it even take you to Facebook? I have my profile set to Private, I think.
Also, I had to enter the profile ID part of the URL that came after "facebook.com/" because I don't have a custom link title thingy like you guys have, I dunno how. That may be what's wrong.

Jetters' facebook redirects to mine.

Private won't affect it.
But when the link is broken on someone's Facebook button,
it'll always redirect you to your own page instead.
I'm not even sure if Facebook has a 404 page.
In Jetter's case, it's probably just because there's no custom URL set up on her profile.

Oh monkeys in a barrel.
Does Deviantart count as a social site too? It seems to have a social history of it's own, just askin'.

In order to personalize your url, just go to this link. http://www.facebook.com/username/
I'm pretty sure it should work.
RE: Social Sites Added - Garamonde - 11-27-2011
And this doesn't hurt my Facebook profile name, right?

RE: Social Sites Added - Garamonde - 11-27-2011
Fixed, it will work now.
RE: Social Sites Added - RétroX - 11-27-2011
That's pretty cool. If you could, it would be nice to also have a Tumblr option as well, though.

I believe that's the correct logo?
edit: Added DeviantArt as well
RE: Social Sites Added - Previous - 11-28-2011
DA doesn't work - for one, the generated link misses its http:// part (thus redirecting to a nonexistand page on TSR). Second, it doesn't make a correct link anyway since I'd have to enter my username after deviantart.com/ so the system would accept it but it really shouldn't go there, DA uses 'username.deviantart.com'.
But thanks anyways
RE: Social Sites Added - Dazz - 11-28-2011
Fixed - the system automatically put the username on the end of the URL, so it did both the start (where I told it) and the end (where it assumed it should go) thus screwing it all up.
And I forgot http:// because I assumed it would automatically do that
