Michelle take a look at the 'fix' I made in the profile's edit mode. I removed the single bracket you had at the beginning and end of the Ancestry.com web address which was posted below the Sources / References Section (as opposed to being used as inline citations) and where those [ ] brackets just muck things up. The source displays properly now and your  Ancestry sharing link works fine (I tested it.)

Thank you for helping me. When I tried your fix, I still get a black screen, but our internet may be the problem. When I pressed and held the link, a preview came up that did show the record. I appreciate it!
