I know along time ago there was a code to hide the display pic and name of the person who was leaving you comments. I do not want to hide the comments. I just want to hide the friend. I know people read my things but I do not want them befriending my friends. I am also aware people who use Firefox could easily just use No Style in order to reveal my friends display pic. I would like to know if anyone knows how this could be done(hide friends in your comment area). I may have asked this a year ago but I never read an answer to this problem. I would really love you to death if you could please help me out?

 

 

I sound like a newby.

I put the html code for hiding image and name at the bottom of my "about me section" and it worked just fine for me Cool

Some members posted below that it blocks other things on your profile so you can read their posts too if you havent.

Hi NJAK! Excellent codes! They work perfectly. There are some difficulties with using them however. I believe an IMPORTANT topic from the MySpace TOS is that the "Block User" button must be accessible (However, I'm having trouble locating that particular section/deferring link where this is outlined at this time)... If the "Block User" link is not available, I believe it is grounds for immediate termination of your account (and I'm staring to think that this is the reason that many MySpace user accounts have been deleted in the past). Since the first code removes the "Block User" button from the comments, I find it important to say "Caution" to people who might use this code. Also the "View All" link still remains active using this code, so somebody could get around this profile-edit by clicking this button. What I thought might be a useful edit (both visually pleasing, allowing Friend names, pictures, and comments to remain, without providing a link to their respective profiles), is to compose a stylesheet in replacement of the current one, which will effectively overwrite the link that direct to the Friends in the Comment list, replacing the destination with href=http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user -which will send people back to their home page if they click on Friend pictures or buttons. However, I haven't had any success thus far. Any idea how this might be done?

The only thing close to that is:

8.21 covering or obscuring the banner advertisements on your personal profile page, or any MySpace page via HTML/CSS or any other means;

But the "block user link" is not a banner, and if it was there it most likely would have been talking about the "blocker user button" under the users picture. Which everyone can see. You must remember that "block user link" can only be see by the owner of the page.

As for redirect the links...it can't be done for two reasons:

1) myspace does not place id/class attribute with all their links, so there is no way to target the specific links.
2) it would require javascript. css is use for layouts. javascript is used for actions and redirecting implies an action.

Re: How Do You Hide Your Friends Display Pic in Your Comments?

I'm not a code expert but I messed around with some existing code and I think I have what you want.

 

<style>
.text .text table table td a {visibility:hidden;}
.text .text table table table td a {visibility:visible;}
</style>

It seems to work in any section but also hides any picture in the comment. Also, if you click "view all" the all pictures will show, so you need to hide this link also.

I used this on a very simple profile, so don't know how it will interact if you have a complicated (lots of stuff) profile. Let me know if it works.

Re: How Do You Hide Your Friends Display Pic in Your Comments?

I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but there's nothing you can do to really hide your Friends. I kinda figured this one out on my own, but I wasn't even interested in it to tell you the truth. I was hanging out with a girl-friend (ironically, one I met through MySpace), who was a little curious about one of the guys on her Friends list. So, since this guy had his Friends list blocked, she asked me if I knew how she might get a look at the list. Having just started looking into the way things worked on MySpace (which was several weeks before I found myself here on GuG), I took a wild stab-in-the-dark and it worked; also, it still works today, and I imagine it will always work until MySpace provides you the option of privatizing your Friends list -until then, hiding your Friends list is actually a customization that blocks the full functionality of MySpace, so doing what I'm about to describe is by no-means a hack, it's just a go-around for what somebody embedded in their Profile (in a sense, it's kinda like blocking a tracker). Anyways, for everybody who's interested, here's how it works:

With YOUR Profile's All Friends page open, copy what is in your address bar. It should look something like this: http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends2&friendID=XXXXXXXXX&MyToken=ALPHANUMERIC

What's important to notice is the 9 (8, 10, or however many) digit number, denoted here by XXXXXXXXX, which appears between the friendID= and &MyToken portion of the address. Additionally, your MyToken serial plays a role, as it appears (although, as I just learned, it is not required) any time that a Friends page is generated/accessed (and that's regardless whether the page is your own, or if it's somebody else's Friends that you're trying to view).

The next step is to go to the Profile that you're curious about. Now, take a look at your address bar, it should look something like this:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=xxxxxxxxx (Note: if you came through the Top Friends field on your Home screen, a MyToken serial will also be included, and, although this is interesting, it will not provide you the important part of the address you need -specifically, the beginning: http://friends.myspace...)

At this point, I recommend one of two options:
1) Paste the address information that you copied from your Friends page in the Search field at the top of the user's Profile page for temporary storage. Then, copy the FriendID number from the address bar in this user's Profile page, and paste it in the place of your ID number. Finally, copy the new link in its entirety, and paste it into your address bar; or
2) -this might be easier, but not necessarily faster- Go to the Profile your trying to view, copy the FriendID number, and return to your All Friends page. Simply paste the FriendID number for the Profile you're trying to view in place of your own.

That's it! Just press ENTER. It's that simple! It works on all Profiles (provided that they're not set to Private [and, even if they are Private, if you're on their Friends list, this will work] -If you want to get into a Private account, I can't help you... I haven't even figured it out for myself yet). Anyways, give it a try. Hope that helps clear some things up for people.

Re: How Do You Hide Your Friends Display Pic in Your Comments?

None of the codes do what I am asking. I do not want to hide my comments. I just want to hide their pic when they make a comment. I know it has been done before. I'm not sure if it was back in the day with javascript. Please let me know if you understand. I sometimes leave things out. Thanks.

Hi CandiLove! I've been trying to figure out what line of code might do exactly what you're looking for over the past couple of days. Unfortunately, this has been to no personal avail. However, I have found a site that I would like to defer you to that may help you resolve this issue, either in the manner you describe above, or another one entirely. It will take some reading, and, perhaps, a bit of experimentation, but I hope it helps. Here it is:
