The yellow duck comes up when the link you enter is invalid. What is the link you are trying to insert? Make sure it's a full-blown link.

That's not a link. There is a link in there, but the place you got the code from expected you to be able to put pure HTML into the profile instead of having a link editor, like Adium does. We're too advanced

Put this into your link editor: http://www.buddyprofile.com/viewprofile ... delia&u=%n

Though it looks like the code is attempting to display the extended profile in the profile window itself, which Adium will not do. It will pass it to Safari instead (if you are the one clicking on the link).
