Would it be possible to add a link to your Instagram account to your Samba profile similar to the way the Twitter and Facebook links work? I have seen the Instagram thread in the Off Topic forum, and was wondering if there was a way to add it to your profile to make it easier for members to see.

If it's too much to ask for, it's ok. Just a thought.

Thanks.
-Jon

I should be able to do this but since I do not have an instagram account, please give me an example of some links so I am sure I have the format correct.

Ok, here's the link to my account as an example:

http://instagram.com/jon65vw

and a couple randoms for more examples:

http://instagram.com/classicsdaily
http://instagram.com/instagram
http://instagram.com/carbsandchrome
http://instagram.com/vw


Now, if you click on the link to an Instagram profile (like mine for example) when it opens, it will say instagram.com/jon65vw in the address bar and will leave off the http:// . I don't know if this will make it more difficult for you to configure, but I just wanted to point that out.

Thanks, I will take a look at what is involved.

No, the http:// and the www. don't matter - they are just redirecting you instantly. The browser is omitting the http://

It's confusing to some people - you have to put the entire link to your Insta

Some people just put their username only.
