Hello!! I hope this isn't too dumb of a question. I was wondering if anyone knew how to edit private profile pages. Recently, I went on a friend's page and browsed thru her friend's list. So many people had private profiles [which isn't unusual..mine is also private] - but what caught my attention was the layout backgrounds for many of the private pages. Does this make sense?? I don't want to edit/paste a layout to my myspace page...there are billions of sites I can visit for that!! lol But, I can't find any sites on how to edit my "private" page...ya know "this person's page is set to private..this person must add you to view their profile". i've seen so many people with cool layouts (even pictures of themselves).

Has anyone else seen this?? Does anyone know where I can go to edit my "private" page?? Please help...I'd really appreciate any help.

For what it's worth, no matter what I did with the Myspace profile Mangler, my page was a bottom scrolling nightmare.  Until I was able to clear the whole thing, it was probably the width of 3 pages, and nothing short of clearing EVERYTHING and starting from scratch would fix it.

Re: Edit "Private" Layout

I have had a very different experience using the Myspace profile editor. It may not be perfect, but I haven't had any problems using it to create the look I wanted. Actually, to be honest, I have found several benefits to using the editor on my profile. One suggestion - remove all style sheets/codes you are currently using to modify your profile appearance and save them in Word or Notepad prior to starting. This will allow you to better understand, see, and manipulate your profile with the editor.
That way, should you hate what the editor has done, you can hit the CLEAR ALL button and then re-create your previous look quickly by inserting the sheets and codes again in the regular profile edit mode.

DON'T DO IT!

OMG I was one of those ppl that used the Myspace Editor to do the cool background on a private profile.  What p to the izzle said is true.  DON'T DO IT!  It screwed up my profile sooooooo bad (can't stress that enough).  Once you use it there is NO TURNING BACK!  It took me hours to semi fix it and I consider myself pretty good with myspace and codes.  I found that codes that worked wonderful before stopped working and I had to find loop holes around those.  So call this fair warning on not to do it - and if you decide to try it out don't email me looking for help (you have been pre warned) because its that much of a screw up.

Re: Edit "Private" Layout

I believe it's done using the MySpace editor however it's created havoc in several people's lives because the code is rather pesky to get rid of. The last I read about their editor said don't use it. Now, GuG has a great profile editor. It won't do your private profile but it does work well on regular profiles.  Here.
