    I have created 3 custom profile fields for my members:

    twitter page - entered as http://www.twitter.com/id
    facebook page
    flickr page

    The formats for each field is set to none.  I have also followed on the instructions here -

    I still cant get them to render properly. The full url is displayed, even when i have coded it to show the title only and the url link itself is wrong.  here is the code for my twitter line:

    {if twitter !=""} <a href="http://{twitter}" title="twitter">twitter</a> {/if}

    Custom member profile fields vs. custom fields in channels are different.
    I don’t think there is an option to turn auto-links off in member profile pages.
    You can turn off text formatting and then instruct users to only enter eg. their twitterID and then just construct the URL yourself eg.

    <a href="http://www.twitter.com/{custom_memeber_field}">http://www.twitter.com/{custom_memeber_field}</a>
