Alrighty then... MySpace blindsided us with another modification to one of the external stylesheets which controls the display of MySpace profiles. The line of code they added ended up turning the background color on a number of my layouts an offwhite color.

There are two ways to fix this...

1) MANUALLY EDIT THE LAYOUT CODE

Go to the 'About Me' box on your 'Edit Profile' screen and locate the following code near the beginning of my layout code which looks like this:

body {background-color: ...

Change this to the following:

body.bodyContent {background-color: ...

Essentially you'll just be typing in ".bodyContent" (without the double quotes) directly right after "body" and that's it. Click on the "Save All Changes" button and your profile will display normally again.

Let me know if you have any issues with this fix or if you mess things up trying to apply it and I'll come give you a hand.

OR...

2) REINSTALL THE LAYOUT CODE

All the layouts here at Iron Spider have been updated with this fix so an alternative would be to simply reinstall your layout code fresh from the page you got it from.

This modification affects the following layouts in particular:

Plain MySpace Layouts
Professional MySpace Layouts
Chromatic Table Layouts
2 Color MySpace Layouts

Okay that's it, friends... Have a good one!

The Resize Comments Pics code for MySpace profiles that appears on the 7 Easy Steps to a Kick Ass MySpace Layout page and in the Advanced MySpace Editor was updated today and fully tested in Internet Explorer 6 & 7 and in Firefox 2. It now makes use of one of the new class attributes available in the default MySpace template which makes it a leaner, meaner code (and is also fully compatible with MySpace Music profiles - a.k.a., band profiles).

Okay, I've been recently made aware that the Hide Code Generator in the Super EZ Profile Tweaker had a minor glitch. Formerly, when you selected to hide the 'Details' section, this would incorrectly move the Extended Network box up by 15 pixels. This glitch has now been corrected.
