your instructions for inserting an external or IMDB link don't work.  Every time I submit my corrections for my bio, which I wanted to update, the page spits back ten rows of the same line telling me how to enter an IMDB link.  As if Jack Nicholson were typing in my computer! do you have an actual page with real instructions that work?

I know. I did all that. Followed the “rules” . It didn’t work. Must have been a glitchy page.

Hi, Pauline Schneider.
This is how a Vimeo link could be added:
  1. Click the yellow button "Edit page" when you are on your profile page;
  2. Point on "Links to Other Sites" => "Official Sites", then choose "Add 1 item" (or more at once);
  3. Click "Continue" at the bottom of the edit-page;
  4. In the field "Official site" input the link (e.g. https://vimeo.com/paulineschneider);
  5. In the field "Description" input the description, "Vimeo" in this example;
  6. Click "Check these updates" at the bottom of the edit-page;
  7. If you have done correct all the above, you see all green on this step . I f you see red or yellow, please provide us the screenshot.
