It's been disabled because of the increase in spam .... no word on when they'll enable it again.

There are some spammers (selling weight loss drugs or devices or porn or ???) creating fake profiles and putting URLs for their sales pages in their profiles. As fast as GR deletes these "not really GR members" they create a new profile and post again. After many complaints, GR disabled the ability to include a URL in your profile while they work on solving this issues.

More info is available in the Goodreads Feedback group

That's awful. : / Lately I have noticed a lot of new "groups" being created which are also just spam.
