I don't see any "Find me Online" field in the forum user profile... Perhaps you're referring to the one on BackdropCMS.org? (it's different, not linked to the forum)
Hmm, there's definitely no field like that in Forum user profiles. Perhaps you're seeing an old copy of the page... Can you try hard-refreshing or clearing your browser's cache?
Yes, I cleared mu browser Firefox cache, also restarted it and try the same with Opera.
The field FIND ME ONLINE is there again. In both browsers.
But I would be disappointed if such a field -FIND ME ONLINE - is missing in my forum profile or it is not active.
The opportunity for forum visitors to visit my site and see my work is a strong motivation for me to participate with answers and comments to questions from other forum participants and I guess this is same for all who are engaged in answering questions and inquiries.
I believe that if you remove this field you will harm the usefulness of the forum and the popularity of Backdrop CMS.
I believe that the community will only benefit if the forum also works as a social network, allowing visitors to communicate with each other. You could even add a "private messaging" option.
I also see the "Find me Online" field set in my profile, but there are no fields in it, and I did remove the cache for all *.backdropcms.org sites from my Firefox cache.
Ok, worked it out (thanks @docwilmot for the link). The code that adds the fieldset is part of the 'borg' theme. If you're a moderator or admin then you're able to see/use the admin theme (which is 'seven'), so this code never gets run for the user profile form.
On top of that, the fields that are supposed to be displayed in the fieldset don't exist. There are no fields named 'irc', 'social' or 'websites' anywhere on the site.
Hi Rob,
Welcome to Backdrop! Here’s a quick overview:
Subtheming Bootswatch:
You should create your subtheme based on Bootstrap5 Lite, not directly on a Bootswatch style....
Hi Rolf,
This happens because CKEditor saves absolute or semi-absolute paths in the HTML instead of using Backdrop’s file stream wrappers (like public://). When you move your site...
The error means the Stripe client isn’t initialized — $stripe is null.
Fix steps:
In CiviCRM → Payment Processors, ensure valid test/live API keys are entered and match the mode...
I'd like to learn more about options to handle payments in Backdrop:
Ubercart and Commerce vs. standalone solutions and integrations with modules like Webform or Registration...

The accepted answer refers to Drupal and has weird formatting (missing capitalization at the beginning of paragraphs). Seems to me it was either copied from a Drupal post, or AI generated...

Thank you!
I am doing as follows:
Get a message from a forum topic in my e-mail.
At the bottom of that message there is a line with link:
You can view the comment at the following url
https://forum.backdropcms.org/comment/2047#comment-2047
I click a link and it opens a different URL address:
https://forum.backdropcms.org/forum/personal-profile-account-forum?page=...
On page there is a line:
Log in or register to post comments
I Log in.
The page that opens has header
Backdrop Forum
At right of this header now it is written:
Hi amilenkov!
When click on Hi amilenkov! I see two sublines
- My Profile
- Log out
When click on My Profile I go to a page with amilenkov title and below are three submenus:
View
Edit
Email settings
I click Edit and there at the bottom is a field
Find me Online
but in is inactive.
And the header of this page is
Backdrop Forum and its URL is
https://forum.backdropcms.org/user/xxxx/edit
You can see a screenshot.
So I think I am in my Forum account page, not in BackdropCMS.org profile page.
Thanks again!

Its something in template.php

Dont know why it only shows for some people.

There's an existing issue for this: https://github.com/backdrop-ops/forum.backdropcms.org/issues/73
Profile on forum https://forum.backdropcms.org/user/1138/edit is different from profile on https://backdropcms.org/user/2346/edit (which is a bit confusing) and "Find me Online" is only available in https://backdropcms.org/user profile
