So, yeah, things are all good now. Just thought I’d write a short post about this.

Anyways, I’ve found another security hole today. Not another XSS hole, this is a different security hole with some privacy implications. So, the way that I see it, I have a few options regarding what I can do at this point:

1. Do “the right thing” and report it to them again. Probably getting my remaining accounts deleted in the process (I have a new personal profile, and my music profile that wasn’t deleted).
2. Tell someone else and get them to report it on my behalf.
3. Ignore it and hope they fix it themselves.
4. Post it to a security/”hackers” website.

Obviously, the last one is not something I’d usually do, I’m just not that type of person. However, if someone were to do something like that, assuming it’s posted anonymously, nothing bad would happen. So, the thing that’s the most “correct” (reporting it to them) would get punished (as my previous reported security hole showed), whereas the thing that’s “wrong” (posting it to a security site) wouldn’t. Isn’t it obvious what most people would do? How funny.

Want to use it?

Please feel free to use this layout on your profile. The only thing I ask is that you keep the credit (Layout by Daniel15) on the page, and in the CSS code itself.

Here’s what you need to do if you want to use this layout on your MySpace profile. You should probably already know how to use a MySpace Profile 2.0 layout, but here’s a brief overview:

1. This layout is a profile 2.0 layout. If you haven’t already, you’ll have to upgrade to MySpace Profile 2.0. This can be done by clicking the “Customise Profile” link in the “Profile” dropdown menu.
2. Go to the “Customise Profile” page.
3. Click “Select Theme” and choose the blank one.
4. Click “Change Layout” and choose a page width of 960px, and the layout with two columns.
5. Click “CSS” and paste the CSS code into the box.
6. Click “Change Layout” again (or any other option. You need to leave the CSS tab and go to another one for it to save the CSS settings).
7. Click “Publish“

Here is the CSS (click)

If you don’t like the header, and would prefer the default MySpace one, delete everything between {! Begin header – Remove this section if you want the normal MySpace header !} and {! End header !}

Note I’m giving limited support for this layout. I can try to help you with bugs in the layout itself, but can’t help you with anything beyond that. Having said that, please feel free to leave a comment if you find any issues with the layout.

Enjoy!

Today, I try to log in to my account, and it didn’t work. Interesting, I was sure I was typing the correct password. I go to use the “Forgot your password?”, and it says my email is invalid. So that’s it, they’ve deleted my account. For me, MySpace was a way to keep in touch with old friends I otherwise wouldn’t be able to talk to. And now they’ve deleted my account. So, they deleted my account for reporting a security issue and showing them a harmless example, yet people that actively try to attack MySpace accounts still have active accounts? This makes no sense, if anything they should be thanking me for finding the bug on their site, and being nice enough not to do anything evil with it. It’s totally unfair. Just before deleting the account, I had 467 friends, 1991 comments, 2300 messages, and just over 19000 profile views. I have no clue what’s going to happen to my Windows Live Messenger MySpace app, an application that now has around 51,000 users. Whatever, I’m done with MySpace now. I made a new account but don’t really care about it any more. Add me on Facebook.

Oh, and http://www.myspace.com/daniel_1515 was my old account. In case anyone searches for it in Google.

Update 9th February 2009: My MySpace account is back. Take a look at my blog post about it.

The code is quite ugly, but, well, so is MySpace. That’s my excuse.

1. Guys are more emotional then you think, if they loved you at one point, it’ll take them a lot longer then you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.

2. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

3. Guys go crazy over a girl’s smile.

4. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

5. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they’re goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

6. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

7. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they’re still loved.

8. Guys are more emotional than they’d like people to think.

9. Giving a guy a hanging message like “You know what?!..uh…nevermind..” would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he’ll assume he did something wrong and he’ll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

10. Girls are guys’ weaknesses.

11. Guys are very open about themselves.

12. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don’t need to give advice.

13. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

14. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

15. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful.If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.

16. No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.

17. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.

18. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn’t notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

19. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

20. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he’s probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

21. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

22. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he’s just actually saying, “Please come and listen to me.”

23. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn’t happen that often, so when it does, you know something’s up.

24. When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don’t say you aren’t. It makes them want to stop telling you because they don’t want you to disagree with them.

25.When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he’s definitely thinking something.

26. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.

27. Don’t be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.

28. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.

29. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.

30. A guy would give his right nut to be able to read a girl’s mind for a day.

31. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He’s just too stubborn to admit it.

32. Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of us.

33. They love it when girls talk about their boobs.

34. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually

35. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.

36. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it ..it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts.

37. When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.

Based on a blog entry I read about backing up your profile, I decided to try and write a script that would grab your entire friend list so you can have a local copy of it. It was kinda hard to do, but I’ve managed to write a relatively simple script that will grab your entire friends list, and display it on the one page. It does so by grabbing each page in the “View All Friends” section, and essentially merges them all together. What you end up with is one page that contains your entire friends list.

Take a look at [broken link removed] for the script so far. Note that it will currently not work on private profiles (although I’m working on a fix for that). For now, if you have a private profile, you must temporarily set your profile to public in order to export the friends list.

You can easily save the page it generates (via File → Save As…) and keep it as a local copy of your friends list. Yes, I know how it displays its output is kinda ugly at the moment, but I’m a coder, not a designer

Hope it’s useful for someone.
I originally posted this to the MySpace Forums, but thought I should also post it here
