- We have pushed a change that replaces the website and Twitter fields on the profile with three generic label/value pairs. These are shown as "extra fields" on the profile *after* the profile text. Values that are links (beginning with `http`) are rendered as links; anything else is rendered as text. So you can fill in your social-media user names, anything with a URL, or whatever else you want to put there.
In order to make this change visible, we need to run a script to move the existing fields into the new structure. If your profile previously showed a website link or a Twitter username, these will *temporarily* disappear while the script catches up. We do not expect this to take very long.- People who don't care about extra links can continue to include them in the profile text, or not include any at all -- whatever you prefer. The section only appears if there's something to show.
- (Before you ask: we would have *preferred* to fold the Discord ID into the same list, but that turned out to be hard to implement, at least for the people who were available to work on this.)
