Linking your Facebook Account to the Forum
Scroll down to see how to link your MySpace account

Stage 1: Finding your Facebook ID

To find your Facebook ID number, go to your Facebook wall, then click on “Profile” in the top right hand side.

Click on your profile picture.

The link will be shown in the search box of your internet browser.
As you can see in the image below there will be a number within the link. Our example ID number is 000000 - yours may not be this long or short.



The number at the end after “&id=” is your ID number make a note of it and move on to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Linking your farm to the Forum

You can now create a link to your farm, here is the code you will need:

http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?farm_id=000000&farm_ix=Y

Just copy the code and replace 000000 with your Facebook 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"

Stage 4: You can now create links for all your farms if you wish

Copy the same code you just made in Stage 2 and just change the "Y" at the end, after “&farm_ix= ” to...

”Y” for your default farm“0” for your 1st farm,
“1” for your 2nd farm, “2” for your 3rd farm,
“3” for your 4th farm,“4” for your 5th farm
and so on.

Please note that your signature cannot contain more than 500 characters.
