Level: Easy. User requires knowledge of html image links if they decide to use an image as the link; they will have to upload an image somewhere to use.
This isn't exactly a mod because Tammy did such a great service to us by creating an easy way to change and create the profile fields but in case anyone's wondering how to do it, here it is:
How to have a link to your member's fanfiction.net page on their profile:
-------
Step 1. Go to the Profile Information panel in the admin panel (/admin.php?action=authorfields)
Step 2. Create a new profile field. (link at the bottom)
Step 3. Insert the information depending on whether you want:
A. The member to use their user name or their ID number
B. The link to be a text hyperlink, or an image link
User name as text link:
Name: fanfiction
Title: Fanfiction.net user name
Field enabled: (check)
Type: ID with URL
ID with URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/~{info}
User ID number as text link:
Name: fanfiction
Title: Fanfiction.net ID number
Field enabled: (check)
Type: ID with URL
ID with URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/{info}/
*make sure you have that last / or it won't work.
User name as IMAGE link:
Name: fanfiction
Title: Fanfiction.net user name
Field enabled: (check)
Type: ID with URL
ID with URL: <a href="" http://www.fanfiction.net/~{info}"><im g" src=""YOUR" IMAGE URL GOES HERE!"></a>
User ID number as IMAGE link:
Name: fanfiction
Title: Fanfiction.net ID number
Field enabled: (check)
Type: ID with URL
ID with URL: <a href="" http://www.fanfiction.net/u/{info}/"><im g" src=""YOUR" IMAGE URL GOES HERE!"></a>
Step 4. Save/Submit.
Step 5. On the profile.tpl or user.tpl page of a skin, you will be able to just have the pic show up by itself with the variable {fanfiction}. If you use the {authorfields} variable it will show up after Fanfiction.net ID Number/user name:. When the information is blank, nothing will show up.
Whatever the "Title" is in this mod is what is used both on the Edit Bio page to tell your members what is needed, and on the {authorfields} of the actual profile page that everyone sees, so in this case since you need to let your users know what information is needed to make it work, I suggest using individual variables instead of {authorfields}.

I don't know.
Could be your browser. Could be that you modified something else that is making it not save.
If you have not modded your site in any way, then I can guess that the information put in your admin profile fields is probably wrong, maybe a typo of faniction, not fanfiction or fanfiction.net instead of fanfiction? Did you submit the admin profile field, and then go back and edit it and submit it again to comething else? Make sure that the name is the right one listed in your database.
it's working perfectly on my site.

I went back and tried it again and its working fine now
maybe it was just my server messing around at the time as I reentered the information exactly the same!
