I am also having the same problem with the social icons when adding a link to the Linkedin setting. Nicepage is adding "//linkedin.com/shareArticle?title=&mini=true&url=" to the URL. It doesn't matter how many times I copy and paste the correct URL, the software is still adding the extra information. I am having the exact same problem with the Facebook link. Nicepage is adding "http://facebook.com" to the beginning of the URL. I have version 1.0.228.
The problem is embarrassing because it's now on a live site for a customer and I can't find which file to edit out the extra URL information for that particular social icon. If I knew which file I could find where the link is being generated from, I can edit it on the server.
UPDATE
I think I found a work-around for this problem.
First, I found if I don't copy and paste the Facebook link in, and simply add the remaining URL information after the slash, Nicepage will not revert back to the http://facebook.com/ URL. It also doesn't appear to like https: in the URL either.
Second, I added "http:" in front of the two // on the LinkedIn link, and then omitted the extra fluff after the trailing / on the URL and added the remaining link information after the last / and it seemed to also take without reverting back.
Despite finding a work-around, I still think this is a bug and should be addressed in the next update.
