I'm guessing it's a new measure by the board owner and moderators to crack down on Spambots that occassionally attack.

"the angles"
 

Hah, no idea about the counter. Temporary glitch would be my guess.

But yea, my favorite part is when Yeeta ;) crosses the room for the first time.

Oops! It seems my previous link is now broken. You can still see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAh6WwKILfk

My blog section has been all messed up recently and I'm not sure why.

It stopped "resetting" after the week was over to show the right number of posts/comments/views every week.

Is this giong on with anyone else?

I've been up for just over a week, and I'm still getting this message. I've tried contacting the MySpace people (twice), but have not received a single reply. I put up a MySpace so I can eventually set up a group to promote my upcoming novel, but if I'm unable to post on message boards, I'm probably not going to be able to do a thing!

did myspace get hijacked??
 

What the heck happened?

I went into my "sent" files to track a message I sent to a friend and I found that somehow, my account sent out like 10 messages with this:


Hey everyone!

48771029
I just made an account at this FREE dating website. Its got way less pointless crap than on MySpace. Check it out, and search for me, by joining with the link below.

What the hell happened? It was not ME who sent those out!!!

It freaked me out so I changed my password.

The messages were not even to any of my friends, they were just random people.

???????????

Did you click on a link in someone else's bulletin? Did you download one of the tracker softwares?

I had one of those as well, and apparently I sent one to some blonde named Kristin who read my message.

For the record, I don't click on links or even open SPAM bulletins when I see them. There are no tracker links or codes in my profile (I just checked) and I've downloaded Flash 9.

When it comes to login redirects I tend to be cautious as well and I make sure that the login page is a real MySpace login page.

I'm not sure if it's something everyone got or if someone phished my info.

I've been afraid of that happening as well, as it appears a couple of people on my list had problems. Both had issues where dozens of bulletins were sent out under their names ("Check this link," or "Free Ringtones," etc.). I'm figuring it's a matter of time before something goes wrong with mine, although I'm not really on much lately.

I always always always caution my friends about double-checking the URLs for login redirects. I really think that that's how most people get their info phished, as opposed to just clicking on a link.

Those phishers I tell you, those login pages look so legit!

As far as I know, Myspace.com is my homepage, so I dont' think I logged into one of those fake sites.

=however= I got a message in my inbox a few days ago and when I opened it, my IE went crazy. I didn't recognize the person who sent it, so I think maybe that might have been it?

OTW- you mentioned something about tracker codes or whatnot in your profile... are those codes other people put in there to make your account do weird things like send out messages to random people?

Even though Myspace.com is your homepage, there are other ways you can get the fake logins. Say, for example, you visit someone's profile, and somewhere in that profile is a code that redirects you to a fake login page when you click on a link (Home, Browse, Search, Mail...for example). The only way to make sure is to doublecheck the URL.

And don't use IE anymore. ;)

Tracker codes were created to track visitors, but once MySpace users went batshit crazy doing anything, clicking anything that might give them one that worked...a lot of phishers made new codes and falsely advertised them as trackers. Not sure what these codes really do, but you really shouldn't have em in there to begin with.

That's really weird because I also use FF and I have no problems accessing my page. The only embed tags I have in there are the ones that play my music because I refuse to use the MySpace music player to play my music. I also have the Photobucket tags for my slideshows.

I wonder what's going on?

This is the first I've seen of this thread, but I've been MIA for a while and just lurking every so often.

Here's my link: http://www.myspace.com/sweetcarolanne

I'm addicted to myspace thanks to finding out about it on this thread in June...been meaning to *thank* this thread, but been too busy on myspace:rolleyes:

Here's my link: http://www.myspace.com/zchi if anyone wants to stop by and say hi to a fellow greekchat-er/myspace-er!

Dammit. Now I have the "sent email" problem. I changed my password. Is that all that needs to be done?

My MySpace link is in my sig!

Hi ya'll! Joel Osteen here! I finally jumped on the myspace bandwagon. Here's my link!

MySpace keeps crashing my home puter - is this due to some people's ridiculously complicated layouts?

I've had my IE crash on some people's pages; I just have stopped going to those pages. It does tend to be the more involved pages, or people who used weird page editors.

myspace is planning on selling music from almost 3 million unsigned bands.

http://news.tmcnet.com/news/2006/09/05/1859464.htm

Do the bands have a choice on this?

It sounds kinda shady.

When bands sign up for MySpace, they sign a contract allowing MySpace to use any of the music uploaded or otherwise transmitted via their site for promotional reasons.

I'd guess that they'll still get paid for this - but yeah, anything posted on a MySpace Music page can be used in, say, commercials? Etc? w/out the artist's permission (but most likely with appropriate compensation - read that for what you will).

Ahh would explain why my favorite local band took off the songs from their new unreleased cd.

For some reason, I can't get myspace to come up on IE, but AOL is fine. I wonder if it had something to do with the stupid mirar toolbar I had to get off.

from Reuters

Songs can be sold on the bands' MySpace pages and on fan pages, in non-copy-protected MP3 digital file format, which works on most digital players including Apple's market-dominating iPod.

The bands will decide how much to charge per song after including MySpace's distribution fee, said Rusty Rueff, the chief executive of Snocap, which will manage the e-commerce service. Snocap provides digital licensing and copyright management services and was started by Napster founder Shawn Fanning.
Rueff said the "small" distribution fee was not yet fixed.

BOOMING SECTOR

DeWolfe said MySpace would be "enhancing and customizing" its online music store as the service evolves, aiming to eventually offer copyright-protected songs from major record companies.

Is MySpace down again?

I just came from myspace. it's working.

Thanks Garth.

I think on the day I posted that, it was off and on for a few hours or so.

is search not working for anyone else?

I apologize if I'm late with this, but...

If you were one of the folx who saw that they had SPAM in their Sent Messages, read here.

If the link doesn't work, go to Forums, then MySpace, then General.

Apparently it's some kind of exploit...not a hack, that infects your 'Heroes' section. I don't know how the heck it gets in there, but check your 'Heroes' to see if it's in there and then take it out!

MySpace has been acting kind of funny today. I havent tried search but when I tried to log on to my page, it gave the server error page several times.

Not only that, but if you tried leaving a comment on a friend's page, your friend's icon and username comes out next to your comment, not your icon and username.

For a while I thought my friend was leaving comments to himself.

At least one thing is malfunctioning whenever I sign on, so I've just accepted it as part of the deal.

that's crazy. $500 for a hitman?

that reminds me of Myspace: The Movie. "why am i not on your top 8?! i'm your girlfriend! who are these girls?"

that's crazy!!!!

I heard on the radio of a couple that was married for like 5 years and got a divorce because he kept claiming to be single and all 5462132165 of his myspace friends were like 18 yr old girls.

Dirty!

Isn't there an icon somewhere that says "MySpace ruined my life"? :p

i don't understand why the counters on myspace are always messed up. they've got one job: count. The Count was pretty good at that. ("ah-ah-ahhh 6. 6 vonderfool cupcakes.")

5 minutes ago, i had 48 plays, 0 downloads (artist.) now i've got 108 plays and 1 download? ricockulous. i hope myspace doesn't have the same errors when it's selling unsigned artists' music.

anyone else having trouble doing music searches on myspace?

anyone else not able to log in?

MySpace has been running fine all morning for me.
