Private MySpace Profile: Hide last login, name, location, status on MySpace Private Profile
Hiding the Public Information (Last Login, Name, Age, Location, Status) on the public view of a Private Profile
I decided to publish this after seeing a few questions, on yahoo answers, where multiple answers indicated that this could not be done.
The solution is not all that complex. For the first one, it is a minor change, to code, that is very commonly used, to hide the same information on a public profile.
By adding a class, and then adding style, one can make the code effect, only the public view of a private profile.
Hide Only the Text Next to the Profile Image
(last login, age, location, name)
First Put this in your headline:
<font style="display:none" class="H">
next ONLY IF you want this information to show on the Private (friends only) view of your profile
Put this at the top of your about me:
<style>
font.H {display:block !important;
font-size:10px;
color:black;
background-color:white;
}
</style>
You can change font attributes, as desired.If you want to hide much more, including your profile Image, status, and contact table
What this code will do:
1) On the Public view of your private profile (the one seen by those NOT on your friend List) the profile will look like this:

If you want, you can make your own images, which cover the content, instead of using mine.
HOWEVER you must find a place to host them, that makes the image name SMALLER than what you will get on tinypic, for at least ONE of the two images.
There is enough room to squeeze in one tinypic sized image.
(I may be willing to host a few more generic images to go into this location, if you ask me; but none with personal names or information on them).
2) On the Private view, the one your friends See the images which cover stuff, will be rendered display:none, and will not show up.
3) There is no room left in the headline for headline text, therefore you will need to make an image of any headline text you want to use.
We can apply this image as a background, to a font tag, we placed in the headline.
The view your friends see, looks like this:

STEPS
Step 1: Create any images you want to use.
- image to cover your picture, location, sex, age, last login, contact table.
Size image about 340px width by 313px height.
Needed size is dependent on the size of your profile image, so if you have a very large image, some adjustment may be needed
You May Use the Image I Provide If you Want To
- image to cover your status text on your Private profile Public View
Size image about 450px width by 90 px height.
You May Use the Image I Provide If you Want To
REMEMBER there is VERY LITTLE room, so using my very short named image for EITHER step 1 or 2 is highly recommended.
- image to use as headline text.
This also serves to cover up the hanging quotes, so I recommend using something here.
You will need to adjust the values in my code, if your image is not very close to 180px width by 30px height.
You will want to Make your own Image for This. You can choose to just Not Have Headline text, and provide No Image
images need to be saved to tinypic, or a site with equally small (or smaller) url names.
Step 2: Put This code in the headline, to apply the image, and position it to cover the information.
The below code uses my images.
<font class="h"><img src="http://xiii.us/p3.png" style="position:absolute;left:50%;top:175px;margin-left:-390px;" /><img src="http://xiii.us/p2.png" style="position:absolute; right:50%;margin-right:-400px;top:175px;" /></font><font>
STEP 3: Put the following code at the top of your about me:
<a class="i">
<a class="i" href="views-under-construction.blogspot.com">
Hide Last Login, Name, Location, Status, Age on Private Profile </a>
<a class="i" href="xiii.us/eGen/mpSkin.php">
myspace music player skins</a>
<style>
.i, .h img {display:none !important;}
font.h {display:block; height:30px; width:180px; background-color:white !important; position:relative; top:5px; background-image:url(http://i34.tinypic.com/30axi69.png);}
table.profileInfo table td.text {font-size:0px;}
table.profileInfo table td.text font {font-size:10px !important;}
</style>
</a>
Replace YOUR-URL with the url you used for your headline text.You can use font.F to set the font color, size, other style for the text under your headline.
If you want to hide this text, on the Private view of your profile, add this line to the above style block:
font.F {display:none}
There are multiple other variations one can do using this technique.
If someone has a specific request, feel free to ask.
I can not guarantee I will create the code for it, but if I have time, I will try.
If this code causes a problem with your profile, please let me know.
Use a Different Backgrounds on View that Friends See, and View that Non Friends See
To get a background on the private Non Friend view, you must use the official myspace profile editor. This editor puts the code in a style sheet, that is applied to a private profile.
To cause a different background image to show in the friend only view, apply style to the about me section, to override the background in the style sheet.
Anything in the about me section will only be applied to the view the Friends See.

O.k....All Of this works but I can't quite figure out how to get a background on my private nonfriends view page...I went to myspace profile editor but whewre do I go from there?
In the profile editor you do this:
Select the top one, where it says No Style.
click that.
Then you should see an option that says
[Open and Edit Theme]
Open that
You should see a box that says
'Image Location:'
Put the url of your image there.
Where it says Repeat, select what you want, I pick both.
Then hit save and publish.
Then, if you want a different background for the view your friends see,
add this inside a style block, in your about me:
body.bodyContent {background-image:url('URL-HERE') !important;}
That will override the background in the style sheet that myspace creates from their customize profile tool. They do not use !important here.
Is there a way to do this without hiding the contact box on the page non-friends see? Or maybe being able to add a add me contact button some where? Thanks!
One more thing :) With firefox you cannot see the contact box on non-friends page but with IE you can see some of it (like add friends)-- also with FF if you set your browser to no style you can see it all. Just thought I would let you know :)Thanks for the code it's awesome!
Yes,
One would use a shorter image, one that only covers down to where the contact box starts.
There is no way to add custom contact buttons.
However, notice that there is a short cut drop down next to the search box.
People can use this to send you messages and friend requests.
There is no room to put in IE only code, to accomodate the differences.
Also each profile has differences based on size of default image, and length of the elements in the basic data.
So I just went for close.
And yes, turning off style allows people to see the stuff that is hidden with style.
So those who want to see it, enough to go to the effort can.
There is also the
view source
strategy which works cross browser.
none of this is working for me. i have my headline and my login/location gone, but i would like the example of all black shown. please help.
Can I look at your page.
I do need to re-test this, as myspace has made some changes since I wrote this.
But my test page, where I have this set up, does still work.
You could have conflicting code on your page, or you could be installing the code incorrectly.
mine works great!
it works. thank you so much.
OK THIS WORKS AND ALL BUT I DONT HAVE ROOM FOR MY OWN HEADLINE. I DONT KNOW WHERE 2 PUT THE CODE FOR MY OWN HEAD LINE. HELP ME!!! PLZ!!!!:(
Ok, I tried to get this to work but it showed on both my private profile and it also showed on my normal profile too. How can you get it to only show on the private part of my profile?
I TRIED THIS AND ITS NOT WORKING FOR ME THE CODE YOU GAVE DOES BUT IM TRYIN TO USE A DEFAULT LAYOUT AND ITS NOT LETTING ME
HELP PLEASE
how can you change "headline text picture" to something else i got it off my profile somehow but i dont know how to put a pic there instead
ummm when i copy and pasted, it appeared on my private profile.
i mean, i want my nonfriends to not see my banner and all that stuff.
I have myspace 2.0 and I just want my status and mood hid from users that are not on my friends list, is this possible??
DUDE!!!! You are the BEST! I had an ex stalking me and writing crap about me everytime I wrote something about this new girl I'm friends with. Now she can't see anything I write and I can move on without her talking garbage about us! THANK YOU!
I F*CKING LOVE U!!!! I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A CODE LIKE THIS FOR MY BLOCKED PROFILE FOREVER!!!!! I was sick of having certain lot lizards & donkeys creepin my default pic and mood messages.
Miss V
ok so this works pretty good. except sometimes i will check my own page to make sure it is still working and when u first click on it, it shows everything until it all downloads. and i dont like that cause then they can still see what i have on my default page. Is there a way to change this or fix this? Thanks
no you can't. Also if someone is using Firefox they can see everything by clicking on no style. So really the best thing to do is use myspace 2.0 - have a pic as the main one that you really don't care if people see or maybe a black one. and you can put a photo that you like directly on your myspace so friends can see it. than with 2.0 you can set everything to private including your last login, location. you also have the option to just display your headline or your status and mood. You can also paste a code into the CSS section on 2.0 which will hide it. So that everyone doesnt see that you have it all set to private. because if you just set it to private than it will say last login: PRIVATE - and for the rest of your info.
Ok mine won't work I put ( for the hide status/mood ) and i put in the code! I know no one will want to help me but if you decide ill give you my password and e-mail to do it! My name is austin!
This may no longer work, I haven't tested it for a while, and myspace often makes changes.
I won't have time to test it (and modify it if needed) for at least a few days.
And I agree with Angie, switching to myspace 2.0 is the best option.
More information can be hidden, in a way that keeps it from showing up at all.
Anything we hide with style can be seen either by turning off style OR just doing a view source.
Anything you hide, using the built in myspace functionality, is not on the generated page at all, therefore it can not be seen by turning off style, or by viewing source.
I guess I am confused. I did all of this and it works well but when my friends look at my page I dont want my status blocked. I just want it blocked for all non friends. Am I missing something or is this not possible??
This code may not work anymore.
I haven't tested it for a while, and I know myspace has made a lot of changes.
I don't have time to test it again right now.
Sorry.
But really I recommend that you upgrade to myspace 2.0, where you have the option to set individual blocks private or public.
You have much more control over what you can set for only your friends to see.
I have tried everything on this site. Put codes in profile and nothing. I have a stalker and im trying to get rid of the issue by not letting nonfriends see the status please please if you could help me email me at carderbabe0817@yahoo.com
titled Myspace Issue so I know its about this
Please help me I would LOVE to have my myspace shown with all the black. email me at pinkmoose238@yahoo.com
THANK YOU! :)
I HAVE TRIED THIS, AND IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME ON MYSPACE 1.0. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR MY HEADLINE HIDDEN WHILE MY PAGE IS PRIVATE. I EVEN TRIED REMOVING ALL PREVIOUS CODE ON MY PROFILE BEFORE I DID THIS, BECAUSE OF CONFLICTING CODE.. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO HELP, BUT ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE TELLING US RIGHT? THE CODE WORKS WHEN YOU PROFILE IS PUBLIC, BUT IT DOES NOT HIDE A THING WHEN YOUR PROFILE IS PRIVATE!EMAIL ME AT rockydogg49@yahoo.com IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME.
None of this works anymore, myspace changed their implementation.
I do not have time to come up with another solution right now.
I highly recommend upgrading to 2.0 where you have more control over what you show to friends only, and what you show to everyone.
everything worked great. but wen using myspace mobile my status is still shown. its not shown on the computer though which is great is there anyway it can get hidden on myspace mobile too ?
It worked?
I was pretty certain that myspace had disabled this strategy, maybe they changed something again.
As for myspace mobile, I have never used it, but may at some point, take a look at it, and see what can be done with it.
thanks this stuff really worked, and i tryed everything it seemed like. =)
