Thanks. This is a known bug and was found out a day after 7.7.1 went out the door on 1/29. It got in there a few hours before release during a last minute update to a single template file. It is fixed within a planned March release of 7.7.2.
Thanks for your update on this.
a temporary solution is to either 1/ edit templates/default/admin/showuser.php to revert: type="url" with type="input" for the user homepage url <input>. or 2/ to to manually add an "http://" in front of the member homepage each time you edit a user, until 7.7.2 is released and you've updated to at least that version. or 3/ use the templates/default/admin/showuser.php from the posted (Member Area) 7.7.0 release of the software.
