I'm a little surprised there isn't an option to list your skype account in the user profile.  There are options for various emails and other instant messengers.  Wondering if that option to customize (add extra fields to) the user profile template is available for Simple Machines Forum software?   Or alternatively a "blank" field where you can type in whatever you want to show in your profile to add random information that you want to share?

Sorry for digging out this old thread...but I have a question.

Is there an option to add your twitter and facebook account in the user profile by adding new fields? :-\

No
...by adding new fields for that, of course, that only can do an admin.

I noticed a change in the profile. There is now a field for Facebook, but it doesn't work for me. Also it seems that the 'new' field was the Skype field before (because I see, my Skype user name entry is disappeared) :-X

Yeah, something messed up when I was trying to create new fields. Still working on it.

Ok folks, due the oddball way that the custom profile fields were set up in SQL, I have managed to do several things at once. I have inadvertently blown away several fields that were there before, added Facebook and Twitter fields, and possibly scrambled the meaning of some of the fields that do display.  On the plus side, the SQL structure for those account settings is at least decipherable now.

Thus...

Please go to your profile under "Forum Profile Information" and check to make sure the information is correct there.  I'm a skxawng. Hopefully this won't hose anyone too badly. :(

I know I'm terrible... :( :-[ ...but there was not also a field for Skype (I had one), Teamspeak (a lot of people had it, oe too), Lekh Dothraki and a Minecraft username. (They were only visible for someone who looks at the member's profile tab, if I remember me correct.)

<reposted after 100x editing>

EDIT: I would suggest to make that Twitter and FB name visible only in the profile tab, to prevent spammes and stuff especially Skype and TS.

Edit2:
I searched a bit and maybe I found a really useful mod for SMF, where FB, Twitter, YouTube etc. could fit well:
Mod: Add & Create Social Media Icons To Profiles
Thread: Add & Create Social Media Icons To Profiles

I have installed that mod in my test forum SMF version 1.1.20

....I don't know if that modification is compatible with the current one...
