    It would make sense to have an icon for each of the major social media links for each profile, instead of hald icons and half text links as it is now. This would
    - save space
    - avoid long URLs going onto 2nd line
    - improve profile layout
    - look much better
    - add colour to the dull grey box!

    You can add variable names given below for extra social icons.

    Paste these names in the
    "HTML variable name" while creating custom field.
    geocraft_delicious, geocraft_dig, geocraft_dribble, geocraft_flickr, geocraft_linkedin, geocraft_stumbleupon, geocraft_skype.

    Note:- These names only work with version 1.7.2 onward.

    We have created the custom fields and we have added the variable names on each. Icons are showing now but the URL for each Social Media are still showing below. How can we hide the URLs?
