This question has been addressed elsewhere. See: More social media/online communities to link to profile.

This question was closed; new answers can no longer be added. Users with the reopen privilege may vote to reopen this question if it has been improved or closed incorrectly.

Currently, users can only add their twitter handle and one other website to their profile. I find this kind of limiting since someone might want to add more to their profile. Say for instance they want to put a link to both their blog and their professional website; right now, they have no way of doing so (outside of putting it in the info box).

Could we have the option to link more than one website in our profile?

EDIT:

In response to "there is no problem to solve here."

Does a feature request have to solve a problem? Can't a requested feature be, you know, just to make things better/simpler/more convenient?

You can always 1.Put it in the profile description, 2.Use linktree for all links, and put that in the other website spot.

@Dani 1. I did explicitly say that it was an option. 2. I had no idea about linktree, and I doubt many people do either. Besides, using linktree just sems like a workaround, being able to do it here would be preferrable.

Down voters please explain?

Olin Lathrop‭ wrote over 4 years ago

Votes here on meta mean agreement/disagreement. The obvious interpretation of the downvotes is therefore "I don't think this is a worthwhile feature".

Moshi‭ wrote over 4 years ago

@Olin Lathrop Might be obvious to you, but to me disagreement means "This feature shouldn't be implemented"

Canina‭ wrote over 4 years ago

FWIW, with regards to the side question on what feature request means, I agree that a feature request can be for something that simply makes the site better, without necessarily solving an existing problem. I also think it's reasonable for a downvote on a feature request to express "I don't see any value in this" or "I think that the complexity of this would outweigh the value". For the record, I currently have no votes on the question or its answers.

Moshi‭ wrote over 4 years ago

@aCVn I think that the "complexity outweighs the value" can only be decided by the devs. Downvoting a feature request for that is stopping it from happening before problems with it are found.

@aCVn Oh, I hadn't noticed that post. If you want to close as dupe of that, I don't mind.
