Comment (by danbp):

 I initially came here to ask for such a field type enhancement and found
 this ticket.

 I use BP on 3 different environement (prod, online dev and local).
 Prod and dev sites are two different accounts on the same server (same
 host, same settings, and so on). My local site is little different in
 settings, but nothing crucial.


 On my production site (MS) i have a normal text field to let users add
 their website URL. But the field value comes out with a wrong URL:
 http://mysite.com/members/username/profile/?s=http://user_site.com/

 On my local test site (single), i use the same field and when i enter a
 URL, i get it correctly. This field is a normal text field
 On my dev site (MS), i use the same field type and i can enter a URL who
 is also correctly outputed.


 I don't know actually why i have these difference. Even theme and plugins
 are the same on all sites...

 Now the patch '''5501.03'''. I applied it first on local site: '''OK'''
 Then on dev: '''OK''' and finally on prod: '''OK'''
 The only thing i encountered on the prod whas old URL's, entered before
 patch was applied. I had just to resave the profile and, bam, anything
 went fine.

 Would be great to have such an URL specific field, not only for converting
 FB or Twitter, but for any other URL too, like the website field on WP
 profiles.
