Is that something hard coded into PHB? Not sure if it's worth the effort to even update... just looking at setting as I update my profile and had a chuckle.
At least AIM isn't on there.

Well I just threw out skype and google+ (defunct since 2019)

And tried to add a discord field...but discord seems to be a bitch.

Maybe it works maybe not....but seemingly the link doesn't require the username but some obscure discord id

IIf you enter the id it should prefix it with the url automatically...but this is untested at the moment.

Good luck getting it to work ;)

Says a minimum of 18 characters required, lol.
Is it a dumb field or does it make a smart link?

ithe id is a number with 18 digits..because discord is weird and doesn't use the username.

The board should make the full link out of it

Huh... I'll have to look around for that ID... I had no idea I had a super secret ID number...

That is why I put up the link in the answer..it describes how you get that super secret number.

As discord ignores the wishes for more useful links for over 5 years now.
