It is very simple to edit or add new top link in the header of mybb 

1. First go to your admin panel.
2. Click on Templates & Style tab.
3. Click on Templates in the left sidebar.
4. Click on the theme name example the default theme.
5. Then expand the Header Templates and header.
6. Then find these lines.

<div class="menu">

<ul>

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
