I recently finished the following site for a client http://myspace.com/payjr

A new client is now asking me to include the forum section as well as seen at:
http://www.myspace.com/anythingbutcute
and
http://www.myspace.com/johntucker

My question is how the heck do you get the forum section to be displayed inline with the profiles? Are these people just hardcoding the links to specific topics in their forums, or is there something we can actually do do display this section in line with the profiles?

Aren't those featured profiles? People paid for those, so they may have special features normal profiles don't have. That's just my theory though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that sergio is right. It cant be too hard to get one considering how many there are on myspace. Just contact Tom and his support group and ask him about it.

Oh yeah, that's special profiles people paid to get up there, I think MySpace code that stuff for them....Your best bet is emailing MySpace just to make sure, but if my theory is correct, your client will need to pay (and I'm guessing it will not be cheap!) to get that feature put in lol

Im pretty sure you guys are correct. Come to think of it theres no reason one couldnt just hard code something like that on the page and just have the hardcoded thread links point to real threads on you own server where you may actually have better control of the content anyway.

P.S. check out my new personal design for my own mySpace profile LOL.

I didnt really try hidding any of the myspace stuff, I figured that would just add more code for the server to have to process so i simply just put a div on top of everything to hide it and bult the rest using tableless css.

It's still slightly funky in firefox, any ideas.

I wish there was siome kind of API available. If i knew which css tags to target it might be fairly easy to write a wyssywig program for designing this type of layouts quite easily.
