Writing a new plugin and just got enough done for us to use based on another one. This is basically the same as it was on our old website. It will be refined and darker Icons will be swapped out soon.
Origin and Steam will show your entered display name while Steam actually links to the steam profile via the ID you enter. AIM, MSN and Yahoo do not link to anything yet. Trying to decide how to handle this.
Steam is a little different than the rest and will only show in your postbit if you enter both the display name and the real id. The display name is how you want it to appear, it does not have to be valid. The ID has to be valid for the link to be valid. My REAL and intended display name is RainMotorsports but my id is actually S13SR20DET. To make a valid url to http://steamcommunity.com/id/S13SR20DET/ I enter S13SR20DET in the ID field.
All others follow the instructions for the field. DO NOT ENTER A URL in ANY of them. They all insert the URL for you and are only expecting the ID that differentiates you from everyone else. For example if you have a vanity google plus name just enter it like +MattCutts. If your google plus is the standard number just use the number after the last / like 109412257237874861202.
