Myspace profiles that have updated their look to “Profile 2.0″ are now supported.

If you encounter any problems or find that information is missing, create a new post in the support forums:

Note that the support forums now require you to validate your email address. I have enabled that option because of all the spam that was getting posted on the board.

Thanks for using the site!

It’s been quite some time since the last status update, even though there have been a lot of fixes.
Some parts of the site like the user status, mood, top friends, comments or blogs were not appearing correctly, but that has been fixed now.

As for improvements, you can now type in any of the following types of URLs into the friendID box:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=6221
http://www.myspace.com/tom
www.myspace.com/tom
myspace.com/tom
tom
6221

As you can see, they all have some form of a friendID in there (some are numeric, others are the URL names for a profile).

This will make it easier to look up profile information by copying and pasting links directly from myspace without having to worry about getting the friendID from the URL. This should be worthwhile for those who are checking the profiles of friends of friends for example.

Well, as you may have noticed, the site suffered from some downtime. I contacted the support team my web host, and now the site is up and working again.

You shouldn’t notice any difference in how the site behaves, and thanks again to all the people who use this site on a regular basis.

Don’t forget to tell others that the site is back up!

I’m not sure whether many people had noticed, but the Interests and Details section of the profiles had not been displaying at all. I fixed this today, in addition to tweaking the Text + Code mode in order to hide certain links.

Make sure to notify me if any part of a profile should be displaying but is not. Thanks.

A few things have been updated:
* The scripts now have an “options” panel
* Links that are not needed will be hidden.

To explain further, the new “options panel” (You can see the link to the right of the “friendID” box) will allow you to set your Myspace login information in addition to setting how much text you want to view. The “Text Only” option will allow you to hide most of a page’s code, providing you with clean-looking results. The “Text + Code” option will show you a lot of the code that is in a profile, in addition to links to images and links that were left on the profile.

Don’t worry about the option that shows you all the code though, since none of the code will load any trackers or unwanted images, so you’re still safe from getting tracked. If you ABSOLUTELY want to avoid getting tracked, I recommend you do NOT click on links to images that were left on comments or in other parts of the profile. If you’re really paranoid about getting tracked, just keep Text Only mode enabled and you should be pretty safe.

As for the links getting hidden, I was referring to the navigation for the page. As you probably noticed, up to now, if you tried browsing a profile that had, for example, no pictures, you would see a pictures links with (0 / 0) on the bottom of the link. It kind of seems pointless to even have a link, since no pictures would be displayed.

This means that if no data can be displayed for a specific section, then no link will be displayed for it.

Please be sure to visit the forums if you have any questions, comments or suggestions about the site.

Enjoy!
