Yes, but it won't make it a link. Anyway you can do that?

Did you try using

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/{vb:var post.fieldX}">{vb:var post.fieldX}</a>

in the View?

kindly guide me step by step.

I create a new view and enter this line there?

<dl class="userinfo_extra">
	<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"><dt>Twitter</dt> <dd><a href="http://www.twitter.com/{vb:var post.fieldX}">{vb:var post.fieldX}</a></dd></vb:if>
</dl>

Replace X with the field ID of the profile field you've created

It should go to user's twitter profile, but it goes twitter.com

In that case I don't know, sorry

You can practice in the normal postbit_legacy template until you find a way to make it work there, then simply copy/paste it into a new View in PBTabs - they use the same syntax
