How to put Social Network Links on your Roblox Profile!

A fantastic new Roblox update allows users to put links to their social network sites onto their Roblox profile! I am going to show you just how easy it is to add them.
Below you can see what the links look like on Shedletsky's profile.


First, click on the settings cog on the top right of the websites and click on settings.


Next, under my account select the "social" tab.


You can now copy and paste the links of your YouTube and Twitch channels, Facebook page or account and Twitter profile. You can also select who these links are visible to, such as only your friends or followers. Do not put links to inappropriate pages or else you may get permanently banned from Roblox. You can see below that I have typed in my YouTube URL. Once you are finished, click "update".


When you click back on your profile, you will notice that the links are still not there, but don't worry, they are just hiding. To see them yourself, you have to click "View public profile" above your avatar on your profile.


Now scroll down and they should be there! You can see the link to my YouTube channel is now on my Roblox profile!


I would recommend that you click on the links yourself to check that they are working.

This is a really good Roblox update, because it allows users to easily share their social networking sites with their Roblox friends. I would like it if Roblox added more websites that people can share, such as Blogger and Tumblr. I hope this helped you and if you have any questions please comment below or message me on Roblox, click on my name below to be directed to my profile.

Profile Views gone from Roblox!

I posted about this the other week, and I have found a forum started by Chief Justus with information on why Roblox scrapped profile views, something I felt was wrong. Here is what he had to say:

"As you may have noticed, the profile view statistic is no longer available. This is an intentional change.

Profile views updated in real time. But with more than 10 million unique visitors and almost 2 billion (yes, billion) page views each month on ROBLOX.com – not to mention the very frequent abuse of profile views through F5ing -- the database demands of this feature grew to far outweigh any possible benefit it might offer. In fact, we believe that profile views – like other quantity-not-quality metrics that are easily cheated – don’t really provide any real value as a measure of, well, anything. We would much rather see other measures of quality and value and will be adding such features in the coming months.

Nevertheless, it is possible – and no promises here – that we might consider re-implementing the feature at some point in the future. If that were to be done, it is likely that profile views would only be viewable to the profile owner and that they would be updated not in real time but on a regular but less frequent basis – say, weekly.

We’d like to hear what you have to say. Should profile views return, even in the format described above? What other metrics – more valuable, less cheat-prone – would you like to see provided? The floor is yours."
