Linking your Myspace Account to the Forum

Please note, if you are using a vanity ID that hides your I.D number, and you don’t know it, you will have to contact Myspace to request it.

Example of vanity ID


Stage 1: Finding your Myspace ID

To find your MySpace ID you'll need to go to your MySpace friend tab and click it. In the Address bar you will see the URL with your ID - this is shown below.

Code:
http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends&friendID=0000000
The numbers highlighted in red, which will be different numbers for you, which appear at the end of the URL, is your MySpace ID. Keep a note of this number and we'll use it in the next stage.

Stage 2: Linking your farm to the Forum

You can now create links for all your farms, here is the code you will need:

Code:
http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=136385&appParams=fi:0000000
Replace :0000000 in the code posted just above with your MySpace ID (you found it in stage 1).

Stage 3: Putting your link in your "Signature"

If you don't want your link to come up in every post you make you don't have to do this stage, if you do, keep on reading! Once you have your link you can just paste it into your post. If you'd rather it appear in every post automatically, do this final stage.

1. Click on "User CP" along the top of your screen.



2. Then click on "Edit Signature" which is down the left hand side of your screen.



3. Paste your link into the text box and click "Save Signature".
