I copied and pasted the links to my facebook and youtube accounts and got errors for invalid characters in the addresses. I removed the https and // or / before the actual address and still got the error messages.
I don't know what else I can remove without invalidating the address.
Here's an example

https://www.youtube.com/user/EddyCurrent69

That is my youtube page. I get an error with that with or without the https://

So what do I need to do?

The link to your youtube homepage is not a media link, it's just a regular URL. If you use the media tag correctly to link directly to a video like this one from your page



It appears to work just fine

My title should say Social Media links, oops.
I know how to upload videos, the profile page has places for links to youtube and facebook profiles (see photo) and that's where I'm getting errors. It isn't saving my location either and I've put it in twice.
And I hit submit when I'm done. I am puzzled.

Just the username is required on the Facebook, Twitter etc,

The forum software knows the website.

Hope that helps!
