Fix YouTube channel link in profile

Unread post by MikeB89 »

The portion in profile for YouTube channel seems to be broken.

I tried putting my channel link in there and it tells me incorrect characters.

Upon investigation I realized it wants to use www.y outube.com/user/channel address.

YouTube stopped using the user portions sometime ago. Granted if your account was a legacy account you could still use that functionality but newer accounts now use the www.y outube.com/channel/channel address style link.

I had to put spaces between the y and o so it wouldn't create a link just an FYI.

If we could get this fixed to be able to include all possible youtube links for channels that would be exceptionally nice.

Here is a link from youtube support that explains what channel link they use especially if you have a custom URL.
