Pictures?

For some reason, I can't grab pics on public profiles. I've tried several...I'm using IE at work, but I have Firefox at home and it was doing the same thing. I can get comments/info etc...but not pictures. Any idea what's wrong? Probably operator error...

this probably has something to do with it:
http://www.wired.com/politics/security/news/2008/01/myspace
i bet they fixed the 'bug' that this site was using to scrape the pics &
the article doesn't mention it but i also bet pics are scraped here exploiting
the same bug involving the myspace slideshow.swf file
(am i right mr. hideinthesky??)
oh well at least the comment rss is a pretty cool tool(but will never ever work on private profiles)
until this site gets shutdown for violation myspace's terms of use that is......

Yes, Myspace closed the hole. Well, I'll have to disable the feature until a workaround is found.

There's a pictures script now available, but it will only show you a maximum of 20 pictures the user has.

Will we ever be able to view a private profile's pics if they haven't marked their albums as private? This used to work before the issue..so just wondering.

There's a good chance that it won't happen. Myspace changed their site so that the pictures can't be viewed using the method the script used to use.
