What's going on with Myspace?? I tried to view my profile and I got a message saying that it was private. I never selected that option, so I went to my account settings and this is what it says

WTF???????? Looks like there is no way possible to make anyone OVER 18 view it

Are those programmers drunk or what??

What age do you have your profile set to?

That was it... for some strange reason my age was completely screwed up and was showing 14 years old

Wonder how the heck that happened


EDIT: No, that didny't fix it. I even did a hard refresh and I am still just seeing those options

It might take a while for the changes to come through - up to 24 hours.

Maybe they are updating and have screwed up.

There are reasons for this...Can't remember, but the settings changed and MySpace put out a statement, it was something to do with "If you're OVER 18 you cannot set your profile to private, so anyone can see it, if you're under 18 only people under 18 can see it"...I dunno I didn't understand LOL..But it's a "safety precaution"
I think MySpace programmers are always drunk....Bebo is better :P
They should give FULL control over EVERY aspect of everything on MySpace....
So you can do what you want even down to the "Only people over 14 can COMMENT on my profile" now that sort of control would be COOL

Did you enter the wrong Birth date? lol I'm not accusing, I just mean as a joke because that would explain what YabbaDoo said.
