This is also currently possible if you know the link codes. For example, Telegram links are http://telegram.me/USERNAME and Skype should be skype:USERNAME?chat (but they may have dropped support for that). You'd just have to put a link somewhere in your profile such as a custom field.

Note that this function would depend on the individual chat/social apps providing linkable profiles. Definitely possible, but nit guaranteed for all

ehh from a web designer's point of wiew, thumbnails that look like that are very ugly and unappealing

I agree that this would be a good feature! Espeically for longer things like messages and descriptions.

On the FN homepage, hit your name in the top right corner and a menu should appear.

Click on "Manage Submissions" and then select the type of submission you wish to upload.

If there's anything else, I can help!

Also your suggestion technically already exists and has been acknowledged by FN here.

But again, you're just going back to bitching about Markdown. You're just hating on something because you don't have what you want.

Price sheets I would definitely agree, however. Markdown is just not meant for them. But if you want a suggestion to be considered, try doing so without writing a freaking blog post worth of why Markdown sucks.

imo this reads a lot more like a rant than a suggestion.

I'd be inclined to disagree.

"Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)."
