Unable to define LinkedIn profile in my settings

Hi there,

I'd like to update my LinkedIn profile in my settings but the message "Wrong URL format" appears even if I respect the default format.
Any idea?

Thanks,
Fred

Looks like it wants it in the format of

https://www.linkedin.com/in/username

This works for me and some other folks.  I've asked them to either update the dummy text or to update their validation of the field to allow it without the www.

Strange, whenever I try to do it in the format they provide I get a "Error: Error occurred while loading a Visualforce page." message.  I've reached out to some folks to try to see what's going on.

Yeah! Is that my 1st Salesforce's bug?

so much for adding my linked in. Same issue. My problem is with the /in/ that is is trying to enforce

Nick: If you go to the profile view for you at the bottom of the picture / name box, do you have URL there?  I beleive I had to customize it to start with to get the /in/

Had to customize it, that gave me the correct format. Thanks!
