How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?

Yes, it is suspended pending changes to the application to make it more in compliance with MySpace TOS.

You can use a div overlay. That means you will be changing your whole profile layout. Createblog.com has some nice ones.

It's not one that they give you a code and you add but one that you click a button and they add for you.  I don't think that you can put it in your headline and if your on private then it won't track her.  I suggest then putting one of the other trackers in your headline such as mixmap. 

 

I did check the "comment back" feature via my fake and no it didn't show on the new app.  You can keep the new app and still do a headline tracker and to help match up the ID look in the private forums for help (since your a subscribing member).  It's hard to post to much with this thread in the open.  You can email me (hit my contact tab) and I can help you along some. 

 

Is that why my apps aren't working?

Yeah I tried it and I think it's more aggravation than it's worth.  I think the other trackers are so much better than this one.  Plus you never know if it could affect your other trackers in anyway.

 

grrr. i suck at it. so...i vote you AE give us a (this) Tracker 101 class.

Tuna ><((((*> the other white meat!

I havent had any luck with it since I installed it.

I even logged in as my friend (I have her password), logged in as my husband, and as a 2nd profile I have and visited my page with each. It STILL shows no visitors.

(tried with both ie and Firefox)

 hi there fizzleb , yes this works as such - a profile counter and it does tell you who has visited your myspace.  but it does not tell you when or how many times and they do not track returns to your profile. also you cant delete anyone who visits you. but if you have other trackers maybe say profile tracker or mixmap maybe it will help you id your visitors.

Oh great tip Bob - didn't know (or realize) that you could block it that way. Yeah I can imagine when myspace sees it's a tracker (which is against there TOS) it will be gone. 

 

So let me get this straight...I am using the updated list for adblock from Bottlebob. If I go to the applications site and check "don't share any data" I could still be tracked? I tried reading through all the threads and that is what I understood. Sorry if I sound dumb, but is there any way to block this? I'm really not interested in using it on my profile to track others, but I'm concerned of someone using this application to track me.

Actually every time my BFF has looked at my profile, it has bumped her up to be first on my list. Using this in combo with mixmap is awesome!

 i did add the one you mention above pat but it doesnt work (i believe) unless both people have the application added. i did remove it though without testing it very much. thanks to everyone for all your help with this thread. your all fantastic here on gug. i do wish i could help more but who knows i may be useful one day? x

I saw that... but to do that I would have to remove all the applications I am using (including my own profile counter).

On another note... I dont know how well this tracker really works. I went to my profile logged in as as 3 different profiles 3 times and it didnt count those visits. It just says "Looks like no one has visited your profile recently."

EDIT: What I am looking for is a code to block it if anyone has one

Thanks!

No - I just threw it on my fake to see how it works and to figure out how to block it.  

You could put it on your profile - mark it as 18+ (so that they are forced to be logged in to view your profile) and still block it yourself.  Then when you want to see who has hit your profile then unblock it and simply hover over the pics to get the ID.  It could be another way to help boost your other trackers by verifying who has peeked at your profile.  Simply write down the ID's re enable the adblock then view who has looked at your profile (with the ID's that you wrote down). 

 

i have just added a new application on myspace called "profile counter" -thinking it just counted your visits -WRONG - it does count your visits AND it also has a default profile box for each visitor(not thier profile pic). i just clicked on the first box(visitor) to see if it showed me anything else and it took me to my daughters page! the second one took me straight to my stalkers page- someone who is causing me many issues at the mo. i only had it 5 minutes and it tracked her to my page. i thought i would share that with you all. i thought i was so great. 

hi i went to bed -this is why i didnt reply. but i see you have already found the link and brilliant smartmom found a way to block it. is it a tracker? its a shame it doesnt pick every single visit up!! i dont go snooping so i wont need the adblock. the only other thing i should add is when you click the default pic it takes you to the visitors myspace page - this will mean you are tracked- it looks like you're snooping even though your just curious. maybe if you know the id off your target you should check it before you visit them back. if you hover over the default pic of visitor it shows the myspace id of that person. hope iv explained my self correctly-just woke up you see!

I LOVE GUG

 hi smartmom i was wondering if you have any ideas on the profile counter on how we would remove these visitors. iv had a look around and dont see anyway of removing visitors -(apart from removing the whole application and re adding it) maybe if there is a way to remove the visitors (like unsubrcribing them or something like that) it could then it could show each time they visit.

I'll play with it later today when I get home from work to see if I can.  I think this new tracker is defiantly something to play with for sure.   From what I do see I do like it - it has some perks that the other ones don't offer again from what I can tell.
