Profile - youtube channel link not working

[DruTan]

Hello,

I have set

YouTube: UCLxi_WY-W6-Wsw0Jl0eFcIg

and it resulted to non working link https://www.youtube.com/user/UCLxi_WY-W6-Wsw0Jl0eFcIg correct link is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLxi_W ... w0Jl0eFcIg. I guess this is a bug in user profile generator.

After researching, the phpbb Youtube profile field must contain a Youtube username, not a Channel ID.
However, Youtube usernames do not exist anymore for newer channels. See Youtube "Legacy username URL" at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6180214?hl=en

Your youtube channel does not have a username and so the resulting URL is invalid.

To work around this limitation, I have created another user profile field where you can paste any YouTube URL of your choice. Your profile was updated and the link is now working.
