You can now add your Facebook and Myspace profile numbers to display under your username. I'll walk you through how to do it. This will allow users to click the appropriate icon and go directly to your Facebook or MySpace page.

To start you will need to grab the profile numbers from the account(s) you wish to use.

Facebook: Log in and click on the "Profile" link - The number you need is at the end of the url in your address bar. Also try clicking profile then going to your profile picture and see if the ID number shows up in the URL bar then.

ex: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?ref=profile&id=197604618
MySpace: Log in to your account and scroll down to your "Friend Space" box. Click on "All" directly next to view. Once that loads, the ID you need is at the end of the url in your address bar.
ex: http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends&friendId=60952397

Once you have the ID(s) you need, you will have to log into your account here at LTXTech and go to your User CP (http://ltxtech.com/forums/usercp.php). Once the User CP (http://ltxtech.com/forums/usercp.php) loads, click the very first link on the left "Edit Your Details" (http://ltxtech.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile). Scroll all the way down and put the ID(s) in for the correct site and then save the changes. Alternatively, you can click here (http://ltxtech.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile) to go right to the details page.

You will now have a link to your profile under your name whenever you make a post. You can see the demo under my name, my Facebook page is linked.

Make sure you are clicking "Profile", that's the best I can do, I don't know that many tricks to Facebook :)

ok hey guys, you don't need the number if you have a custom username on there (go to settings --> username) and type that username in on your details on here and it'll link to your page

If that happens that means they did it wrong. There is a profile ID and if they take any number BUT the profile ID, it will just load your page or the myspace homepage. It's not your fault.
