 SUGGESTION IS TO ADD UNDER THE WEBSITE LINK FIELD. 

SELECT OPTION “ NO” FROM THE SETTINGS AND SAVE IT.

Now open the comment.php from editor and search the “ website “ and below that add the following code. or above the code also your wish.

<p><input id="atf_twitter_id" type="text" name="atf_twitter_id" > Twitter ID <br><small>(ID only. No links or "@" symbols)</small>
