URL validation for "Web Site" on user profile

[DeanMarkTaylor (Dean Taylor)]

Some validation would be nice on the “Web Site” field on user profiles.

Currently, users are able to enter invalid URL’s like this one

http://https://www.facebook.com/FacebookUK

Side-note - I feel like “Web Site” should really be “Website”:

• the AP Stylebook changed 5/6 years ago
• Google search results for “website” - 5,450,000,000
• Google search results for “web site” - 597,000,000

How brave are you feeling this should be a rather simple PR

@techapj this would be a good check for us to add.

Would love to, but time is a killer for me right now.

When I can I will.

For now I’ll keep setting 'em up for you guys to shoot at
