Here's a weird thought, and I'm not convinced it makes sense yet.

 

Social media sites tend to accumulate, there's always more added, and occasionally some fall out of use. Instead of having a set list, have generic URL lists that the member can define.

 

For example, member 1 would have:

Twitter TwitterURL

FIMFiction FIMFictionURL

 

While member 2 could have

Tumblr TumblrURL

DeviantART DAURL

 

And have the list be however many entries the member wants. The disadvantage would be that if the member chooses an odd spelling for the social media site's name, it would tricky to do a global search through the database. But since most of the usage will be looking at people's profiles, that's not much of a disadvantage.

Added a field for Twitter. No image yet, but that can be added at some point. IPB doesn't support custom field titles (not without major tweaking, anyway), but I did test a text area that allows people to enter any information they thought could be useful. I ended up throwing it out because people could abuse it by linking to inappropriate sites. The About Me area should suffice for the time being.

 

EDIT: Added icon and automatic link.
