You can now enter the name of your organisation in your profile here.

Thanks for flagging this up Anna, I can confirm that I get the same error. There seems to be a permission set incorrectly somewhere, I'll look into it.

On further investigation, the permission seems to be set correctly.

The website field seems to work, can you confirm?

For Facebook and probably for other social media accounts too... In the profile you don't put the entire URL as you would for a web link, you just put the account name. So for Planet Sutherland the correct entry is "PlanetSutherland", not "https://www.facebook.com/PlanetSutherland/". The latter will result in the error you're getting.

Let me know of this works for you. If it does I'll add a note on the profile page where social media links are edited explaining in more detail what to put in the boxes.

Hiya
so it seems it doesn't like "/"

thus - can't link to facebook.com/groups/planetsutherland (the active group) - but can link to the "page" planetsutherland

and for youtube - it doesn't work because it directs to "user"/sdksd98708 rather than "channel"/234232

cheers
anna

Ah, I understand. I'll look into adding additional fields for "Facebook Group" and "YouTube Channel", probably sometime this evening. I'll post here once I've investigated.
