Website field adding domain info to link

Hello,

CB 1.9
CBJuice2
Joomla 2.5.9

When using a custom website field, I'm experiencing an odd behavior that I haven't found mentioned on this forum.

If I enter in a web address into a member profile, it appends the address with my domain (i.e., www.mydomain.com/memberwebaddress.com ) which, of course, 404s. As an aside, CB also removes the http:// from the field in the profile.

All the website data that I imported using CBjuice2 works fine, although interestingly, it kept the "http://" part of the address.

Currently, I'm testing this on a mirror. Could that be the culprit?

Thank you for your time and expertise!

Oh, and the forum post here is the exact same issue:
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/214282-adding-links-in-contact-info-section#214282

Krileon attempted to help, but I don't think the issue is about substitution (though the OP could have been clearer, they were new to all of this, too).

Ideas?

BTW - this was moved from the bug forum by a moderator. Seems like a bug, but I assume they know their business!)

Edit: Could be that CB is pulling from the System SEF plugin in Joomla incorrectly (or that something was changed in the SEF plugin recently). Nick (aka Nant) opened a bug ticket with Joomla about another SEF issue:

Still not sure why CB is being contrary.

For other users searching this forum, I'm providing info on how I solved my specific problem via workaround, documented (such as it is) here.

Included are multiple thread references, in case my workaround doesn't fit your situation.

Cheers.
