View Full Version : New Profiles (close your sites..)


Nora

Myspace added new profiles.. CSS is still enabled but adding it is a lot more work than usual and their editor is amazing so I doubt users will end up going to Myspace sites.

To enable the new profile go to profile -> customize profile -> profile 2.0

you can still use CSS tags in the advanced editor part but it strips all corner tags, buttons, links etc... i must say I don't really like it that much... unfortunately it seems like upgrading to 2.0 is irreversible

The problem is that clueless Myspace users aren't going to visit the advanced options to add CSS. The classes are all different too but it looks very easy to customize.

I might make a pack of layouts to sell..
just wondering how all of those running MSRS are going to handle this update with Greg out of town :S

if you are logged in myspace type this url link.

http://profileedit.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=pageeditor.profile

click "undo" to reverse changes(top right corner) and

when the message window appear click in the "switch to profile 1.0" button .

and you will be back to the old profile.

Profile 2.0 gives you granular control over privacy, and enhanced customization options. Hide your comments, friends, age, last login, or anything you choose. Make parts of your profile visible to specific groups of friends. Try our new themes and theme editor to style your page without any knowledge of HTML or pasting codes. Profile 2.0 loads faster and has a sleeker, more modern look.

that's the message it says when you first click on the profile editor. This is the part I love: Make parts of your profile visible to specific groups of friends.

1. The CSS isn't the same
2. Myspace users who don't know CSS will use the profile editor when they need to customize their profiles.
3. Myspace users will have a harder time remembering where to enter the CSS if they do end up going to sites for layouts
4. More fields to edit for designers (= higher prices for layouts)
5. New content management scripts..

and the list can go on and on..

3. Myspace users will have a harder time remembering where to enter the CSS if they do end up going to sites for layouts - Sites will teach users with simple graphical steps how to enter CSS and they'll get used to it
4. More fields to edit for designers = more income for designers
5. New content management scripts.. - this part really sucks

After all nothing lasts forever, but it's not killing anything. Just takes some extra work.

Well but that's just my opinion. Time will tell :)

Do site owners really have the money to pay designers?
I know I wouldn't charge less than $5 per layout with the new CSS, maybe even $10..

I haven't tested this myself but I hear that you can't add a credit link, that will lose sites a lot of visitors..

About the whole CSS thing without investigating into it myself, I'm sure the designers will develop a CSS template to use much like they already do. So I don't see that aspect being a big deal.

NaSh123
October 26th, 2008, 02:50 PM
My opinoin is remember myspace already introduced a profile editor earlier on and it got no traction to do damage to resource sites. In addition, anytime myspace has done a massive change there has been a lot of complaints and they have gone back to the original system.

At the end of the day myspace can't completely change everyones profile, it has to be gradual meaning we still have time to "survive" and you can't take people out of habbits so easily. People are used to searching for some type of layout and I think they will continue to do so.


I could be completely wrong....

I have to say, its a clean fresh look for myspace but look doesn't always matter myspace needs more features for fans to use like on facebook you can record a video on your comment and myspace should put that feature.

Don't upgrade if you like your profile the way it is.
When you convert, your profile will not look the same as it did before. That's the whole point of profile 2.
0--it's different!

Don't upgrade if you use IE6.
You'll find that you can't. The new editor uses features not available to IE6. There's about 16% of you out there still rockin the IE6 (including me!). You're going to have to upgrade your browser if you want to use this new editor. I use multiple browser so I can experience the site as different users do, but you should really upgrade one of these days. IE7, Firefox and now Chrome are all good choices. They're faster and more secure than IE6, with built in phishing protections.

Maybe they will keep both of them and let users pick.

it will take a long time before a majority of users figure out the advanced section or that it's even there. as for updates MSRS only looks for 3 lines of code in layouts everything else is done by the designers so updating or adding a section for advanced layouts won't take more then 10 minutes to update.

Yeah, but when is that going to be? Its alpha right now. So it could still be months or a year away. And I doubt they will kill V1 immediately. Soo, still a lot of traffic and money to be made.

Last year they changed the way flash was embedded and I spend a weekend fixing my gens to work. Only for them to get so much crap from users with broken flash widgets they switched back. I think what keeps a bunch of ppl on Myspace is that they are still able to be as tacky as they want to be with their profiles.

Mass converting v1 layouts to v2 isn't really a hard task providing the css isn't too sloppy;)

The way MSRS and some other systems are setup, the images aren't normally in the css file anyway, they are added later.

yupp, its only in alpha guys and only in Canada to be tested I'm sure there's still a lot of fixing to be done, it can be a long time before the switch even happens.

jack or john or whatever, that looks like you used the editor not coded it loll.


and also the css doesn't look that hard i mean there be a lot more way to customize it that people wont be able to do in the editor, and also the editor is kinds confusing well to me at least so i think people will still be looking to layout sites because im sure there's people that don't even now what modules mean less to be able to customize them lol.

A couple talking points:

1) This feature is only being tested for the Canadian site, and is in Alpha only. It will not be ready before 2009.

2) We will have the Profile 2.0 spec from MySpace at the end of this week/beginning of next week. We'll be able to support Profile 2.0 before Profile 2.0 is even released.


While I have to admit that I don't know all there is to know about this Profile 2.0, I will have more information as it becomes available.

True but when you add everything together, I think myspace sites will lose a lot of traffic. If I knew nothing about web design/css I'd be happy with the editor and would never turn to a Myspace site again. Other users might do the same.. it's just a mix of every change Myspace is making, the increasing popularity of Facebook.. I think it will all affect Myspace sites somehow.

i dont think so, again the editor may be a bit easy but people who know nothing about myspace css will be lost on what module headers, bodies ect mean like most people need help just putting a layout in their about me now i think people will still go to myspace layout sites. for stuff their actually interested in.

i think the myspace change will effect maybe myspace thus affecting us but other than that i think itll stay pretty much the same.

This is great news for me. I cannot wait until v2 comes out! Lots of work, but it will be worth it. Most lazy site owners will just close their sites. Less layout sites = more traffic for me :)

Layouts can still be made and I never really relied on corner tags for traffic. People will always be looking for layouts or ways to customize their profiles.

A couple talking points:

1) This feature is only being tested for the Canadian site, and is in Alpha only. It will not be ready before 2009.

2) We will have the Profile 2.0 spec from MySpace at the end of this week/beginning of next week. We'll be able to support Profile 2.0 before Profile 2.0 is even released.


While I have to admit that I don't know all there is to know about this Profile 2.0, I will have more information as it becomes available.


See, it's nice having people involved with MSP that have direct lines to MySpace isn't it? :)


1) it's the end of 2008 practically, so thats not saying much

2) how can you support it, when in your next sentence you
admit to not knowing much about it?

my advice:

just chill.. smoke some weed... and relax.

by the time version 2.0 goes into effect, it will be early next year (if not later). and when it goes into effect.. not many users will change to it immediately. it will be a slow process ASSUMING it catches on..

and if it catches on, we will all be ready to move forward.

personally I don't think users will like it... I don't know about all the people that claim they like it but I thought it was pretty ehhh at best. We should be pushing users to keep version 1 if they actually LIKE their profiles..... hell we probably don't even have to do that... just imagine how pissed off these 15 year olds are going to be when their layout no longer works and they don't have the wide variety that they have now.... they'll be back to version 1... if they wanted something like v2 they would go to facebook

Do the people over at Myspace realize that by not being able to add credit tags to layouts there's no point in making layouts because they won't drive traffic?


I was wondering what all that excitment is about as well, no credit link = no money.

even though myspace is good for traffic, money sucks for it and its just gonna keep going down, im already starting to move into new things, its really hard having a site based around another site, it pretty well forces you to HAVE to work around what they do, the 2.0 is just a hard blow and gonna take awhile to get use to.

im personally not a fan of the 2.0, then when i changed back it screwed up my entire old profile and i have to redo it.

Saying I don't know all there is to know about Profile 2.0 is far from saying I don't know much about it. It's fine to play semantics if you're making a point, but if you're just trolling it's a waste of time.

I can support it because at its root, it's a specification. Specifications by definition can be defined and therefore understood and subsequently supported. That, and I was told so by my myspace contact...

Where do i put the code of our existing layouts in the profile 2.0 scheme? I pasted a layout code in Appearance > Advanced edit > CSS
and clicked preview. Nothing happened.

Those codes don't work..
You need to get rid of the <style> tags and the colors should be renamed properly using the # symbol.

Does anyone have any idea when profile 1.0 will no longer be used? When does everyone plan to change their codes for profile 2.0?

This is big work. 100s of layout codes need to be changed.

The graphics & Backgrounds work fine though.
I think It's only the layout that won't work.

It's in Alpha, which is before beta. It won't be for ages.

holy cow! I see what you mean. I made an account on the canada site and tried it. Its horrible! What were myspace thinking?! :whackit: Id much rather make my own pretty layouts with css than use that stupid editor thing! Ew. Is this going to become permanant? Meaning, will people who make accounts be automatically put on 2.0? And will people not be able to go back to 1.0?
PM me?

you can still use css in profile 2.0. The css is more clearly defined so it'll be easier to use. And the fact that not everyone has a creative hand at design means that they will still be looking for premade ones over spending time using an editor...that as you say, produces ugly layouts

yeah i agree
also if you get the css from sites... they wont have the credit on the top corner so there is pretty much to point we're doomed

btw i think myspace might hire like tons of people to design for them

they wont have to, they can just use all the stuff you guys made for them... since (most) are hosted on photobucket and FOR myspace, they can pretty much just collect everything and serve them up.... more then likely they'll say 'if you want your layout to be used you have to upload it to our editor' which gives them complete control of quality which is why they are doing this 2.0 look..

the new profile is nice:balloon:. .but it's really hard to custopmize:? you will gonna use one layout style forever no more default, skinny, div etc :(
and user my got bored



i think myspace forget that the one reason why they become more popular than friendster
because of more option to edit profile add layout, customize etc. because wayback friendster dont allow css/html



now because of facebook success without css myspace copying them can just myspace be orginal and improve what they have oh well it's in alpha maybe they will add more option when they gonna release the final version:sweatdrop:


but anyway we can't blame damn also since some are abusing it:gunsmilie:


but atleast myspace must give the user a option to switch back to 1.0 or it is just me that i can't see the option to swithback lol:helpsmilie::pinch:

Go to "edit customize" in the dropdown in your submenu or edit profile, click 2.0 then "Undo" then "back to 1.0 profile" (clicking it twice) to go back.

i think somewhere on the forum stated myspace can't not provide lots of variety of layouts like myspace resource site because they are big corporate they
need to be more careful using some brsuhes, photos etc since they can easily be sued not like the small site


so about the photobucket images i think they can't not just collect there and make them as there background

but im not sure about this i just read also this info on other thread on this forum :D
