Hello dear members, here is a guide to help you to set extra links in you profile and how to show them on Happy Hours caring to not loose so much credits and going negative.

First of all a detailed explanation of the Options found in the Profile:


Profile -> Account



1. Flags: Your account status. For example: VIP, Moderator, Admin, etc. This item cannot be changed by the user.

2. Password: Your password. This one it pretty simple. Note that the number of stars does not equal the length of your password. When you save and reload the page, it will fill up with stars.

3. Repeat password: Password confirmation. Just what it says. You're entering your password a second time to make sure that you didn't mistype it and lock yourself out of your account.

4. E-mail: Your email address. Again, this one is pretty simple.

5. Adult Content: Do you want to see links to sites that have been judged as adult content by the moderators and admins?

6. Extra Tooltips: Do you want to see detailed tooltips when you hover over a MyMiniCity link? This displays information about the city such as population, pollution, security, etc. Turning this option off will allow the link exchange to load a little quicker.

7. Advanced Mode: Do you want to turn on Advanced Mode? This is a VIP and above option, so if you don't see it, you aren't eligible to. Advanced mode options will be explained a little futher on.

8. Links expire type:: Does your link reset every day at reset, or only 24 hours after a person clicked on it? If your site does not have a limit on clicks per person per day, you should set your link to daily. If your site only allows one click per person per day, or if your site does not reset at the same time as the server, you should set your link to 24h.

9. Short Notes: Anything you want to say. These will display on your dynasty exchange to your dynasty members and allied dynasty members.

10. All Links and HAT: Do you want to see all links (including "action" links) in your exchange and take Human Awareness Tests to help prove that you're completing the actions? Click >HERE< for CARE Ratings information.

11. CARE: Displays your care rating and the number of tests you've passed/taken. Click >HERE< for CARE Ratings information.

12. Displays your referral link. You receive bonus credits based on the number of credits your referrals make. You do not receive bonus credits for any referrals that your referrals make.


Profile -> Links



1. URL: Enter the URL of your link here. If you enter "http://" it will be removed when the page refreshes. Your links need to be in the format of AAA.BBB.CCC, unless your link is specially approved to not require a subnet. You can only add 10 links.

2. Link Status: This tells you the status of your link, whether it's Active on the link exchange or waiting for a mod check. Unless you did not have a link in the slot previously, your link will not be visible until the next reset. If your link status shows "Deleting" it is not visible, but will not be deleted until reset. This prevents people from giving themselves unlimited slots by replacing links throughout the day.

3. Use handle: This will only appear on myminicity.com links. This is related to #6 above. What happens is that the site checks out all of the MyMiniCities and grabs their stats: population, industry, transport, etc. Then it can determine which link to show in the exchange. This way you do not have to enter 6 links for one city.

4. Visibility: This dictates where your link will display. These changes happen immediately, you do not have to wait until reset.
4a. Main: Link will show on the main link exchange: http://swle.yarold.eu/main.php
4b. History: Link will show on the history page: http://swle.yarold.eu/history.php NOTE: If you are not at least a VIP, you will not have this option on your page. Your link will always display on the history.
4c. Dynasty: Link will show on your dynasty exchange: http://swle.yarold.eu/dynasty_ex.php
Any time a dynasty member clicks your link, no matter where it is displayed, they will receive a click. You do not have to show all of your links on the dynasty exchange in order to help your dynasty average, though it is a good idea, as not all members click all of the links on all three pages.

5. Advanced: These options are only available when Advanced Mode is turned on (#7 above).
5a. Reset: Determines when a link resets. A link can reset daily or it can reset 24 hours after a person clicks on it.
5b. At: For daily reset links, you can determine what time the link will reset at. 7 is normal server reset time.
5c. Limit: Determines a limit of clicks a day for a link. For example, a link that can only handle 50 clicks a day will become hidden after it receives 50 clicks through Yarold's. This will limit the number of wasted credits.
