Can we update the contact info boxes in profiles

Can we get up-to-date contact methods in our profiles?

 

80% of these don't exist anymore. Gen Z doesn't know what ICQ is.

true, they need to be updated.

Definitely

I'm even a millennial (a young one admittedly but still) and I've never heard of ICQ or Jabber, and I definitely don't use the rest of them

Yes, we can do that. Which would people like to be listed?

I do think if we remove a field it's gone for everyone, so we may not want to remove all of these, but yeah these are pretty old.

I think a Discord field would be nice, as so many Sharders are on Discord.

Bumping this because I still think it's a great idea. The current ones are pretty old, I've literally only heard of Skype. Discord, WhatsApp, Twitter, AO3, Goodreads, and Reddit are some sites I think people are more likely to be on. Maybe a field for a user's Coppermind profile as well?

One downside is that it would mess up all the silly acronyms people put in there.

I did

If you don't hear from me in 24 hours, tell my siblings I died for a righteous cause.

I dont know any of those except Skype and yahoo 

But i dont think they should be removed 

They kind of keep the old charm of the site 

Just my opinion tho

Same. Maybe boxes for things like the Coppermind, Discord, and Reddit could be added instead of replacing the old ones?
