    I think the Twitter icon will not have the white background around it if the user didn't fill out any other instant messaging fields that were already there. Like Boss' postbit.

    Okay, all done. The one thing that I am still wanting to do is to remove the ID's and URLs from the "About Me" part of the user profiles. Anybody know how I can do this?

    And Peggy, it does wrap to the next line. Here is a screenshot with all of the fields filled out (except Skype):

    Remove the ID's and URL's for what? Privacy?

    Great Nick. That looks good.

    Boss, I'm following you, but I may not remember who you are because your twitter id is so different.

    Okay, so I've added my LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter....but, what do we put in the Facebook space in the 'edit your details'?

    It states.... "Share your Facebook page with the community in your postbit and member profile. Add your Facebook User ID here." ....so, do we place our name or the link to our profile page or something else?

    I'm not exactly familiar with the way Facebook works, so I'm not sure what URL format is used. I see all kinds of different URLs used when doing a few Google searches.

    I guess the easiest way is to have users enter the full URL to their Facebook profile so that we don't have to deal with profile IDs and such. I've just made this change.

    I didn't have to, only entered my user id, peggylyn59.
    But obviously either way works. I wish they'd all use the same format, It would make things alot easier for members.

    Peggy, when you entered your UserID, the link wasn't working properly. So I made the change and you will have to enter your full URL.

    This is a great addition to the postbit, but maybe we should remove them from members' profiles as it looks a bit cluttered.
