MySpace DIV Layouts ~ Feedback
Posted by Rob on November 5th, 2006
Hi there!
Here is the SHORT VERSION of this post:
I really enjoy reading your feedback on my MySpace DIV layouts and/or seeing one of my layouts in action on your profile. Go to the bottom of this page and post some feedback. Let me know what's up.
HOWEVER...
Be advised that this page is strictly for feedback (or technical support). Because there is not enough free time in my day to respond to them, all custom code requests WILL BE DELETED.
Humble apologies.
And here is the LONG VERSION:
If you installed one of these DIV layouts and it installed correctly and the end product looked like the screenshot provided on the DIV layout page you got it from then well, as far as I'm concerned, that's pretty much 'mission accomplished' as the saying goes. I apologize but I simply do not have time to do more. Not on a personal level anyway.
So be advised that if you make a post that goes something like this:
"can u give me the code to remove the top friends"...I CAN'T HELP YOU.
Sorry.
And I can't start making judgement calls where I reply to you because your custom code request is fairly quick and easy to handle but I completely ignore others because their custom code requests are more difficult (and time consuming). This wouldn't be fair. If I did this, eventually people would start complaining saying, "Hey! You helped that guy but you didn't help me! What gives?!?"
Right?
So it's either reply to ALL custom code requests or reply to NONE. And I don't have time to reply to all custom code requests. It's that simple. It's nothing personal. I simply DON'T HAVE TIME. I'm so sorry. That's the nature of MySpace. It's immensely popular. So when you put up a layout site like this, you get bombarded with requests on how to customize MySpace pages.
Now... What I'm very interested in is either:
- Just some straight feedback (you like my layouts, you don't like my layouts, suggestions for improvements, etc)
OR...
- If you installed one of my layouts and it didn't install correctly and/or it did not look like the screenshot on the DIV layout page you got it from. In this situation, the answer is YES I WANT TO HELP YOU.
MAKE SURE YOU POST YOUR MYSPACE URL.
Otherwise, once again, your comment will most likely just get deleted.
And if you want to make absolutely doubly sure that your comment does not get deleted and/or you would like to do your part to help reduce my workload, please read the feedback page posting guidelines and the FAQ page.
That's it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Alright then... Let 'er rip.

sending my friend over to check it out.
:)
Thanks Tasha.. :o)
Hey dude. Loving your 'simple' MySpace layout but is there any chance you could tell me how to add a hyperlink so ppl can view my pictures by either clicking my picture or a link under my picture!
Thanks dude.
Dave, I normally don't do custom-code requests and I typically would have counted your comment as a vote for this particular feature to be incorporated into the next update of my overlay generator.
However, this morning I was required to correct a glitch that my overlay had with the Firefox browser and, at the same time, I decided that your suggestion was a good one that would benefit many users so I built it into the overlay. There is now a new link at the top of the 'DO IT TO ME' menu called 'View My Pics' that will allow people to view your pictures. To install this link in your layout, just run through the generator again and reinstall the new layout code.
~ Rob
BTW, what's your MySpace URL?
you should have an option of what the links say...i just got it tonite and already changed most of the link headings...it does give simplicity but also creativeness and individuality
the generate key isnt working =(
Greg, I just retested it in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera and the generator button is working fine. Do you have Javascript disabled in your web browser?
No, Its enabled. I use Firefox 2.0.
hmm. =/
I also have Firefox 2.0 installed and I have no problems generating the code. Try clicking the Reset button and then refresh the page and then clicking on the Generate code button without entering anything into any of the fields. In other words, refresh the page and then simply scroll straight down to the generate code button and click on it and then scroll down to Step 5 and see if any code was generated. The text fields should no longer read, "NO CODE GENERATED YET (CLICK ON BUTTON ABOVE)..."
This is an awesome mod but I would allow for a few custom options if you're interested in hearing about them.
1. Some subtle color choices would be great, just preset nice tones. Or a background option.
2. People really like to post their vids and photos and little linked crap, most of MySpacers don't know html but know how to copy and paste. You should allow for area for them to add there codes to like >----add your crappy vids here---
Sorry got cut off....
3. Also the table sizes aren't conducive to adding this type of crap to the design. If it were possible you could include the cool resize script to shrink down the comments AND the vids and photos that would be added.
Again, great work! I know that this might go in the next version. Let me know when it's out and I'll Totally steal it from you.
How can I get music to play in my backround? Can the usual myspace music player thingy work with this code?
I don't know, Lauren. I never thought that people would want to use this overlay and put music in it. I'll have to run some tests. In the meantime, I'll count your comment as a vote to allow the insertion of music codes in the coming advanced version of this overlay generator.
hey rob... i was wondering... is there a way that i can have a comment box and not having to show my top 8 and my comments? if there is a way u can do that.. that would be better... thnx rob...
Danny
i LOVE this layout thingeemcbobber :) i went a step further, and put in a amall slide.com slideshow for the picture and some quick words at the bottom and it's knarly dude! :)
thanks so much-
b.t.w. found you through ironspider whose layouts i've been enjoying for a few months, too.
Danny,
I don't take custom code requests but I'll count your comment as a vote for special features to be incorporated into a coming advanced version of the overlay generator.
Kiera,
That's interesting what you did regarding the slideshow. I'd love to see your profile. Can you post a link?
i've got my myspace set to private- so here's a link to a screenshot- i've done some tinkering and renaming to the links- but left up the credit and link back to you :) hope that's alright, thanks again, Kiera

cheers man, that was realy useful.
any way of hiding the friends list and comments?
cheers
Tom
Thanks for the feedback, Tom. Humble apologies but I don't do custom code requests. The overlay generators are provided on an as-is basis. HOWEVER, I will most certainly count your request as a vote to incorporate this feature into a more advanced version of the overlay generator that is on the way.
I love the simple look of your myspace overlay. Very unique and clean. Just one problem though. My photo and blurb are running together. The first line of my blurb is run vertically along the righthand side of my picture. I have very limited coding knowledge but tried to put in a bunch of line breaks. I got it to finally move the first line down where it belonged (every break moved one letter down) but then it messed up the rest of the stuff in the blurb. Can you suggest a way to fix this issue? Thanks.
Brandon,
The code in the overlay is designed to have the blurb aligned along the right side of the photo. This is normal. If I understand you correctly, you would rather have the photo displayed on top and all the text in your blurb displayed below it? Also, what's your MySpace URL?
I Love The Overlay But I Can't Add Any Song...Please Email Me...Or Message Me On My Myspace.....Thank You
Keith
Keith,
If you're trying to add songs via the MySpace music system, it won't work. These are overlays. Everything, and I mean but everything, on your page is hidden except your Friend Space and your Comments section. These overlays are really designed with the minimalist in mind. If you're just looking for something different but you still want to add all the usual bells and whistles then may I suggest that you browse through my collection of free MySpace layouts?
nevermine!....cause i really love overlays.....but thank you!.....
oh if you don't mine, i add a my songs on it!....
Yes I was trying to get it all down below the picture. Only one line of it was along the right hand side of the picture. The rest was below it. My myspace URL is http://www.myspace.com/whopaysretail
I'll take out those line breaks I put in so you can see how it is with the code from your program. Thanks again.
Brandon,
The image that is inserted by the generator is aligned to the left by default. The image you have inserted using the generator however (Why Pay Retail) is so wide that all text inserted will wrap below it so this is not an issue as far as I can tell. The issue seems to be with other images you've added, either by adding HTML code to the text boxes in the generator or by modifying the outputted code manually. Here you've made a couple of mistakes in the coding which are probably messing up your alignment. You should really gain at least a rudimentary knowledge of HTML before you start mucking about with it. I have a full collection of easy-to-understand tutorials on HTML (and CSS) at my other site. You should read the following pages:
Using Graphics
Using Graphics as Hyperlinks
I really like it. Thanks for making it easy!
Well it might have something to do with the width of the whypayretail picture but it was messed up before I added in the HTML links manually. I will check out your pages though to see if I can figure it out.
hey can you PLEASE let us put music on there? i really like the while overlay layout and i want to use it but it wont let me play music so please.
I like your layout but is there anyway to just hid my comments?
Many thanks for the 1337 overlay, it just what I was looking for, none of this crap everywhere.
I have no comments for imporvement, it's perfect.
Just wish it would be more persistant and not go away when I click any links :)
The white layout didnt work for me, all it showed was my 'short about me' part, and nothing else. Any idea why?
Kat,
I have no idea why. The overlays have been fully tested and I have a working example at http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com You'll have to install the overlay as best you can and then post your MySpace URL so I can take a look at what you've done to see where you went wrong.
These look great - unfortunately, no matter how closely I follow the directions, I can't get it to work. (And believe it or not, I'm a web designer, haha...). Were they tested in Safari? I'm on Safari 2.0.4.
Most humble apologies for wasting your time, Erica. No these overlays are not yet compatible with Safari. I don't have a Mac yet so testing stuff in Safari for me is reliant entirely on online screenshot utilities which is a slow and encumbersome process.
hi, i googled, myspace codes black and white and found you. i really like the simple design. it was just what i was looking for. however, it doesn't work on my myspace music profile. http://www.myspace.com/asiansthatkill are you going to make a version that works with the standalone player? thank you for your time.
Thanks for getting back to me, Rob! No apology necessary - you're doing a great thing here, and your layouts are fantastic. Much easier than hand coding the page myself (which, I refuse to do, because, after all, this is myspace we're talking about...) Safari is very tricky - even mainstream sites don't support it yet. It can be frustrating, but Macs are worth it - once you go Mac, you never go back :)
Thanks!
Michael,
These overlays weren't intended to be compatible with MySpace music profiles. I guess I should have mentioned that but I thought it would be generally assumed since music profiles don't have an About Me section or the Who I'd Like to Meet section on the edit screens.
And yes I'm going to attempt to make an overlay that's compatible with the default MySpace music player for regular profiles since this is becoming one of the most popular requests.
Hey Rob,
I absolutely love this whole concept but decided not to use it because you can't see the scrollbar! The only way to scrolldown is with the scroller on the mouse which not everyone has. Awesome anyway though.
your overlay generator worked out amazingly for me :D
i hope you dont mind i just took some of the nav things off for myspace, like the events link, if its not ok please just tell me and ill put them back on
but thank you very much!
Bianca,
I'm not really sure what you're talking about. The overlay is not tall enough to warrant having a scrollbar in the browser chrome so --assuming your resolution is 1024x768 or higher-- your browser will not display the scrollbar by default. This is normal behaviour.
Ashton,
That's fine as long as you don't delete the link back to my site. You get the overlay code for free and in return you help promote my site. Thanks!
Hey, nice work on the overlays!
I was wondering, as some have before me, if there is any way to remove the Friends area from the profile? I understand you don't do custom codes, but is there a certain part of the coding from the generator that can be removed/changed to hide the friends?
Thanks, anyway, for the great work :)
Hey Rob, I added your "Plain Black" overlay on my profile. But my song won't work. I'm wondering if there was a code where you set the table as hidden, or something. Anyway to fix this? Thanks.
Neal,
Yes when I described that the plain black overlay will "hide everything on your MySpace profile except your Friend Space and Comments sections", I really meant EVERYTHING. This is not a bug that your music player won't play. My overlays were designed more with the minimalist in mind as opposed to someone who just wants a 'cool' MySpace layout. However, I'll count your post as a vote for this feature to be put in my next overlay generator.
Yes, I understood that. But, you must have hidden the music box with a code, correct? Now if that is however correct, may you point out that specific spot so I can remove it? I understand what you're looking for for the plain overall look, but there's not that many people who don't want a song on Myspace. As a suggestion, for your next generator, make a list of checks on what to hide and what not to hide, so it is the viewer's decision. =]
If you don't understand, for example, For one thing, there would be a checkbox, and next to that would say: "Check to hide friends." Get what I mean? That would be a very convenient feature.
Thank you for the help, though. =]
Neal,
No I didn't hide the music box with a specific code. It got hidden when I was hiding other things. That's the nature of making MySpace layouts and overlays. If you know a little about HTML and CSS, MySpace uses very little CSS classes in their default code so it's a real nightmare zeroing in on specific elements.
You end up having to use a ton of descendant selectors that walk through the DOM trying to get to some elements and then you have to use a ton more to disable the effect you applied so that it doesn't apply to other elements that are deeper in the hierarchy. To get the code that enables the music player in this overlay (assuming it's possible) will require some trial and error on my part and I simply don't have the time right now. Humble apologies. You'll have to wait until I develop a new generator which includes this option (or try to figure it out yourself).
As for your list of checks suggestion, duly noted, however after working with MySpace layouts and editors for over a year, it is my humble opinion that the typical MySpace user is easily overwhelmed when presented with too many options. Traffic and feedback on my other site (ironspider.ca) clearly indicates that people would much rather have ready-made solutions as opposed to being obliged to plow through checklists of options and make decisions.
Those who enjoy using MySpace editors crammed with every conceivable option under the sun are limited to a small core of MySpace power users. The concept behind my overlays here at robthunder.com was to make generators which require the least amount of decision making possible.
Hi great overlay, looks really stylish.
The only problem I have with it is, when I go to click 'View My Pics" & "Add Me" it always comes up with 'Invalid Friend Id message'
Is there a fix for this?
Many Thanks
Paul
Paul,
You probably entered the wrong 'friend id' (or perhaps you skipped this step altogether). At any rate I'll have to see your MySpace page source code to see what you did wrong.
What's your MySpace URL?
Thanks for getting back so fast Rob
Here is my url:
...profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?
fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=88447393
I entered the friend ID as instructed (well I thought I did) copying it from the browser nav bar.
Thanks again
Paul,
Not that URL. Post your MySpace URL exactly as it appears on your MySpace page in the MySpace URL box (directly below your Contact box).
For example, the MySpace URL to my test page is:
http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com
Rob,
Thanks for sorting me out, my brain is in gear this morning! All sorted now.
Thanx man, Ive been looking for something just like this! You are an f ing genuis. 1 million Kuddos! Muah !
THANK YOU...I love your design philosophy, and your method of explaining how to install your products is easy enough for even a techno-dunce like me to figure out. love the "plain white myspace overlay". thanks again and best wishes
hey you should add something to click if people DONT want there friends and comment to be shown!!!!! if you could fix that, then i would say this is the best 'cover' page i havent had to make myself.
Hi, it looked great in IE and Firefox but it doesn't appear to show at all in Safari! so i cant use it :( any suggestions?
Dee,
Sorry they're not compatible with Safari on Mac. I've made a note of that on my home page.
your layout generators awesome, but now that im using one, my song doesnt play =[
Tania,
These overlays will suppress the display of the default MySpace music player. However I've seen some people successfully use external music players with these overlays though. (Sorry but I forget which ones are compatible. You'll have to experiment.)
when you click on the view more pictures or send message it says my account has been cancelled. wahts wrong> but thakns
i would really like to have a view blogs link...it would be amaizng and helpful.....
Hi, just wanted to mention that I just used your overlay generator and the 'view my pics' link does not work, as you mentioned in your Nov. 22nd post.
:-(
Stasia,
What's your MySpace URL?
Hi Rob,
Thanks for responding...
profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...
I have my profile set as 'private' but I'll remove that so you can check it out. Also my friends tell me that when they try to send me a msg., they get a notice saying I've closed my account or my profile's been deleted.
Thanx! :-)
Stasia,
When you did Step #4 when running through the generator, you mistakenly entered your entire MySpace URL instead of just the friend ID number. Only enter your friend ID number (as indicated by the part highlighted in red in the tutorial) and nothing else in Step #4.
Your best bet is to delete your currently installed layout code (from both the About Me section and the Who I'd Like to Meet section and then run through the generator again and create new code (this time only enter your friend ID number in step #4).
Let me know how this works out.
Hi Rob,
Yes, your overlay IS 'ultra-easy' to install...when the person using it isn't a complete moron! Thanks very much for your time and help--It's working just fine now!
Duhh!
Stasia
Hi Rob,
I love all of your layouts and have just tried the overlay; however, I am still having a problem with linking to my pics and "add me." I have tried using both my friend id and url in the appropriate box - my friend id is no longer a number - could that be the problem?
http://www.myspace.com/crashnburner
Christen,
Your friend ID is still a number. Go to your top friends MySpace page and then hover over your pic in their friends list and you'll see your MySpace URL displayed in the status bar of your web browser with your friend ID number at the end. My advice to you is to delete all layout code from both your About Me text box and your Who I'd Like to Meet text box and then run through the overlay generator again, VERY CAREFULLY and this time only insert your friend ID number (and nothing else) in the appropriate box in step #4.
It worked! Thank you so much!
love it and great job
hey rob, thanks for the layout.....
the only thing is i have changed a few things and now the headline for my calendar is showing up under the links in the right hand div box[in white font] so there is a mysterious massive blank gap between the links and my top friends.
can i fix this? or do i need to start again?
[www.myspace.com/purple_pistol]
thanks,
kira.
Kira,
I never tested these overlays with the MySpace calendar nor can I guarantee satisfactory results if you actually use a MySpace calendar. This is a feature I've noticed that is rarely used on MySpace so I didn't bother with it. Humble apologies. If you want to use this overlay, the only thing I can suggest is to delete your calendar to fix the spacing problem.
That was SO easy and in ALL honesty it looks WAY better than the ones I have twisted my brain trying to get working on my page.. I love how simple and clean it is! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this accessable to us...
I love my profile now!
Doesn't seem to like firefox.
Could you possibly send me a generic code of it at profile 171710509?
It's not generating anything, even if I just leave it blank and generating it like suggested.
Yes I deleted IE eons ago so I can't use that to get it.
Rain,
Are you sure you have Javascript enabled in Firefox? Also, try another web browser (like Opera) to see if you get the same results.
That was the first myspace layout that I actually enjoyed. Thanks
Hey Rob!
The overlay is awesome. I really like it, so different in comparison to other crappy layouts I've tried. I have made a few changes.. whether they are any good or not is another question.
http://www.myspace.com/trev101
Cheers gov'. T
To all:
Thanks for the feedback!
Trev,
I'm not sure I see the logic in posting a link to your MySpace page if you have your profile set to private.
My profile:
http://www.myspace.com/ironspider_ca
sorry, forgot about that. Sorted now. Thanks Again.
This is incredible. I can't imagine the work and effort you put into this, and the results are extraordinary. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Ooh, this was sooo easy! I've been trying to figure out overlays for awhile now and your site made it so simple. I made a few mods and I'm recommending it to everyone!
Thanks!
Leighanne
I love your simple white myspace layout; it's so much "classier" than anything else I've seen on myspace. Just a quick question, is there any way I can still have people post comments if I use this layout?
It would make it the BEST thing on myspace if it's possible.
THANKS!
P.S. I just added you on myspace; my url is vieverocks.
Genevieve,
Both my overlays will display your Friend Space and Comments sections by default.
oops, i think i posted in the wrong place, i was supposed to post here! d'oh!
anyway rob, i was just wondering if your codes work for myspace band profiles. i know that the code for 'about me' goes into the 'bio' section of the band profile, but where should the second set of code be pasted?
thanks alot.
Speech,
Humble apologies but these overlays are not compatible with MySpace Music profiles.
ah okay, thanks for clarifying. no problems! keep up the good work. how does it feel being the creator of the classiest myspace layouts? :)
i love my myspace page now i don't know i feel bad for you you seem really busy
Kick ass!I ♥ my
layout
Hey, I have a person in my Top Friends that has a really long name above her picture. This messes up the width of my layout and creates the scrollbar to scroll right. Is there any way I could squish the Top friends together so this will not happen?
Matt,
No. The only way to fix that is to simply switch them out of your top friends. (Or if they're a really good friend, ask them to put some spaces in their display name).
Nice work rob you make it look really easy.I have designed my own overlay or atleast how i would like it to look.I have no idea how to go about making it into a webpage using codes this html/css thing is confusing to say the least,hope you can help me about
Lee,
Sorry but I don't provide personal coaching nor do I do custom code requests. You can however, visit my other site for full tutorials on HTML and CSS.
http://www.ironspider.ca/
I think you are a great Designer, very simple instructions, I used your overlay for a long time and routed friends here too. Thanks for all of the pointers.
- E
Hey i love the div overlay its mint
but i want to hide just my comments
ive put the hide comments code into the end of who id like to meet part but it just hides most of my friends with my comments,ive also put it into the end of the code aswell and that just hides a chunk of my page, could you help me?
myspace.com/chester_olly

Ollie,
I can't see your profile because you have it set to private. At any rate, the various MySpace tweak codes you'll find around on the net are typically meant to be applied to 'normal' MySpace layouts, not MySpace overlays. I have my doubts any tweak codes will be compatible with my overlays. Also, these overlays are provided 'as is'. I can't accommodate any custom code requests because I simply don't have time to handle them all. Sorry.
hey cool layouts, i like how easy u made it for everybody. can u add more div layouts to this site though.
Hey i love your layouts. I ran into a problem though. I ran both the black and white layouts and got the same error. The profile is not center page, and there is no scroll bar on the bottom of the page to move horizontally, so basicly half my profile and comments etc are cut off. You just see my picture and about me and the first group of links and half of the second ground. Any ideas why this may be happening?
Tom,
All my test profiles are displaying normally in IE6, IE7 and Firefox 2. What's your MySpace URL? Also, go to my test profile here and see if you see the same effect.
http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com
If so then it could be some kind of browser-specific problem.
in your test profile the browser is fine, im running Mozilla. my link is http://www.myspace.com/tqb
Tom,
It looks like you've used Microsoft Office to create the HTML coding for your bulleted list. I highly suspect this is messing up your page. Remove that code and see if it fixes the problem. Or better yet, start over from scratch (go back to the generator and do it again) but don't insert any MS Office code at all. (It won't work properly anyway). Just put your pic and your blurb and then test the page.
Hmm yes i did use MS Word to make my HTML, i changed my profile, starting from scratch but that didnt do anything.. hmm.. u can see for yourself http://www.myspace.com/tqb
Ps. do you know the html for bullets? Thanks!
hmm update i took the layout off my page just so others can see my profile until this is fixed. But yeah i took the MS coding out with no prevail
Tom,
Did you make sure you removed ALL other coding (most particularly the YouTube videos) before installing my overlay?
Ah yeah you were right. The youtube links threw it off. Thanks a lot for your help! good layout.
Definitely didn't do anything but make my whole page black.
Oh wait, nevermind, I got the advertisements up and running now.
Tom,
Nice work. I have been rocking this overlay for a while now and love it.
The only problem I have is you have to scroll horizontally to see all of my content in the right side frame (starts with the images of my friends). Obviously vertical scroll is necessary but the horizontal is keeping me awake at night. I leave pages on MySpace if I have to horizontal scroll. I know you don't do custom code requests but any advice would be appreciated.
Keep up the nice work and thanks for the love of your free share and support.
Peace,
Rich
i loved it. do u think u can make more of them though? its alot easier to use compared to the rest of the div overlays.
Rob,
Sorry I addressed you as Tom in my previous post. My bad!
Thanks again for the brilliant overlay.
Richard
John,
Are you on a Mac? Because these overlays are not compatible with Safari. Sorry.
(To one and all: I'm gonna buy a Mac laptop soon and fix up all this non-compatible with Safari business once and for all.)
Rich,
Did someone post an extra-wide image to your comments section? This could be the culprit that's spreading the layout and creating horizontal scroll bars in the right column. Another common thing that happens is if someone posts a comment with a long unbroken string of text. This will spread the layout in Gecko-based browsers (Firefox et al).
Rob,
I have it set to resize comments. They can be large but are not as large as they would be if I did not use the comment resize option. I will look back through my comments for any of the culprits you have suggested.
Thanks a lot my brother. Love the overlay. Chido pues.
Peace,
Richard
Rob,
My comments are all appropriately sized. The problem is in the space between the "my friend" icons. There is too much space in between all of the icons. Any suggestions? Is that value something I can edit in the html?
Thanks again for your help.
Peace,
Richard
Thank you so much for such elegant work. I love my profile, finally! I would really like to have my blogs available for viewing, though. Is there a way to show that link?
Please continue to supply us with such great overlays!
Rich,
I can't provide any technical support if you're using these overlays in conjunction with any other code (i.e., resize comments code). My advice to you would be to remove all other codes, disable HTML in your comments section (Account Settings >> Profile Settings) and then reinstall my overlay and see if that fixes the spread in the right column.
Joy,
Both of my overlays do actually contain a link to your blog in the list of links in the right column (in the white overlay, it's listed under 'Gettin' around' and in the black overlay it's listed under 'MySpace').
Right on Rob. Thank for taking the time to help me. One love my brother.
Rich
Thanx heaps for the code. I just have a small problem.
It looks sick in Firefox but when it comes to Explorer, the My Stuff links end up underneath the Myspace links with a mega gap between.
Just wondering how i could fix this is all.
Cheers,
Roach
Roach,
You must have modified the code somehow because one of my clients has the black overlay installed on their profile and I just went and checked it out and I'm not seeing this effect you describe at all, either in IE6 or IE7. What's your MySpace URL?
Hey, thanks a lot for your awesome overlays! I showed my friends and they're all amazed at how awesome it looks. Anyways, it would be cool if you cool if you could attach a flash player on your next layout. Maybe just for music because vids might take up too much bandwidth. Ok, thanks again dude, I'll be watching out for a new layouts.
Miko,
Duly noted. Since having a music player is one of the most frequent requests here, I'll be working on some graceful solutions in the very near future to incorporate the default MySpace music player into one or more of my new overlays without requiring users to have to tinker with any code. In other words, it will be in line with the easy step-by-step installation process.
oh Man! You are so fucking good in CSS and HTML programming; I really like the overlay theme...... thanks for all.....
I can't get it to work, nothing happens when I click the 'generate code' button.
Hey. I absolutely love the overlays. I can't stand looking at the given myspace layouts. haha. Anyway a few things... The music from my original page still plays. Apparently that is odd? Fine with me, but is that not happening to anyone else? Also, I am using Camino v.0.8.4 and everything works fine. Thanks for giving all the codes!
-Jonathan
Ice9,
You probably have Javascript disabled in your web browser. When you hover over my menu buttons at the top right, what happens?
Jonathan,
Hmmm.. That's interesting. Do you have your music player set to play automatically when people visit your page?
To All,
Much thanks for all the feedback. More overlays are on the way. I'm in the middle of a big update at my other site (ironspider.ca) but as soon as that's done, this site is next.
I believe I do....Which is the only problem, since it usually bugs me when I go to a persons page and can't turn off their crappy music. haha
All I have to say............AWESOME SAUCE! But I honestly want to learn how to do this myself one day... haha
In what section is the music player? I have a song that plays automatically, but no player to pause.
Also, my Online Now image doesn't work--code problem?
AWESOME layout! Thanks for sharing!
John,
If you had a song added before you installed the overlay and your music player was set to play automatically when the page loaded then it appears that it will continue to do so even though the overlay hides the player itself. These overlays weren't meant to be compatible with the MySpace music player so the best thing to do is to simply delete your song if you don't want it to play. Also, of course your Online Now image isn't showing. These overlays hide all the default MySpace stuff except the Friend Space and Friends Comments sections.
Thank you so much for such an easy way to standout among so many...and yet I've found a way to muck things up.
appears at the top of the right box and my text on the left box is almost just too flush left to read, anyway I could adjust both of those?
Bruton,
The NETWORK INFORMATION BEGIN thingy is just there for effect. If you don't like it, you can just remove it. As for your text alignment, I'll need your MySpace URL so I can go take a look. Also make sure you don't have your profile set to private, otherwise I won't be able to see it. Alternatively, you can add me as a friend..
myspace.com/ironspider_ca
thanks Rob, you can find me over yonder at http://www.myspace.com/albruton
Bruton,
I'm not seeing a problem with your text alignment. It looks perfectly normal to me. In fact, your implementation of my overlay is among the nicest I've seen (i.e., nothing spread out of proportion by overly large images or Flash players).
hey this profile is great! but i have a question, my friends say they cant view my pics, add, or message me, WHY?
Dev,
It's highly likely that you either omitted or screwed up step # 4 in the installation process. You need to enter your proper friend ID code in order to make the links work correctly.
BASICALLY, i love you its a bit amazing that is!!! Thanks x
hey rob,
i was wondering if you could look at my page. on my computer at home it fits great, but all of my friends and myself can only see parts of it from other computers. it has chopped off a small section of the sides and bottom. can you tell me how i can fix this??!! thank you for all ur help, and i love this generator it is amazing!!!!
here is the link..........

TIM V.,
Your profile is set to private. I can't see it.
TO ALL:
Please people, try to remember that if you're going to ask for technical support, either put your profile on public or add me as a friend. My MySpace URL is:
http://www.myspace.com/ironspider_ca
rob,
sorry i forgot that i was private. i just requested u as a friend. sorry rob. i really do appreciate u taking the time to look at it.
tim v
TIM V.,
I'm not seeing any issues with your layout in either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Are you by any chance trying to view your page in 800 x 600 screen resolution? Because this will chop off both sides and the bottom. These overlays need at least 1024 x 768 screen resolution or higher to display properly.
the overlays work in the safari 3 beta.
Robert,
They do? Great! Thanks for posting that!
Minor installation problem here--when I paste the code into the "About Me" section, I'm only given one option: "Preview." Unfortunately the Preview page, where I would normally hit "Submit," has the overlay applied, meaning I can't save the overlay at all! What am I missing?
Roger,
I'm guessing that you're using a band profile. These overlays aren't compatible with band profiles.
My overlay showed up completely black?
confusion x 43585489654.
my friend id is 66497954.
thanksss,?
Scott Rollo,
These overlays are not compatible with Safari on Macs.
Hey thanks for the layout, i have been wanting an overlay on myspace for a while now, and now it looks neat and clean like i like it... thanks again!!!
Randy
This was so easy, a caveman could do it lol.
i love the overlay...but some of the options such as "View My Photos" are not working...any help?
Jon,
What's your MySpace URL?
Hey man... just curious if the page works in the safari 3 beta for mac too or is it just windows?
Anyway.. thats the only downside for me... no mac support yet. It's kinda funny though... the people most drawn to this type of thing are usually mac users... the whole minimalist approach and all. Nice work.
Oooo! Safari 3 Beta for Windows! Sheesh I didn't know that... I am on that like stink on a monkey. Thanks Jayson...
Hi Rob,
first: deepest appreciaton for as well the aim of making myspace a cleaner place (with your overlays, for example) as for the fantastic overlay generator. the result looks preety out the box. It should, given that your code is not really super-easy-to-read-formatted :-).
I have a quesion, hopefully it doesnĂ´t fall in the "those I donĂ´t answer"-category. how, with your overlay, do you manage to display the original "XY has 46731 friends"-table? is that a seethrough to the original myspace-page (kinda like a hole in the overlay)? or is that coded into the generated overlay? if so, where is it?
I hope to hear from you,
all the best
Mathias, myspace no. 208770589 (not too much on yet, testbed)
Mathias,
(And to all who have misunderstood what's going on here...)
I'd like to make something perfectly clear as I see a certain trend developing here due to some confusion about exactly what's going on with my overlays.
Unlike other overlay sites, I did not release my overlay code (or the Javascript generator code) under a GPL license, a.k.a. 'open source'. This site and the overlay code is intended to make it easier for MySpace users, not MySpace web developers.
I realize the confusion is partially my fault for having such a casual attitude when explaining my linking policy. This will change shortly when this site gets a major overhaul this summer. Among other things, I've come to realize that some MySpace users need to be bludgeoned over the head with a big stick in order to get them to respect linking policies. Also, somebody linked to this site saying that I had released this code as open source --which once again is not true-- and I forgot to do something about that.
In short, I'm retaining the copyright on the overlay code and those who use the overlay on their pages (or any derivative) are obliged to link back to this site. Also, redistribution of the overlay code is strictly forbidden.
hey rob, how can i read my blog?
Crasian,
Are you using an old version of one of my overlays? Because I updated both of them a while back to include 'Blog' links in the menu column on the left side.
Thanks for the overlays. Such a nice change of pace from the ugliness.
Is it supposed to have the comment on it, though?
Sorry, I mean the "NETWORK INFORMATION BEGIN" comment. It appears on the solid black layout right above the "my space" and "my stuff" columns.
Jade,
Yes, the "NETWORK INFORMATION BEGIN" was intended but it's purely decoration. I was just being goofy with a little bit of esoteric MySpace trivia. If you take a close look at the default MySpace HTML source code, you'll find that comment line appears right before the Extended Network table.
Hey, Rob. First of all, I absolutely love the overlay.
But I do have one question (of course). At the moment the "View My Pics" link links to all my photos instead of my albums. Is there a link I can replace the original link with?
Sorry. my MySpace url is
myspace.com/chaddwinston
OMG this is totally easy and cool. thanx alot.....i will spread the word about ur website!
Chadd,
You should just go to your Albums page and then copy and paste the URL from the address bar of your web browser and use that link to replace the pics link... No?
It's the weirdest thing, for some reason it resets back to the original.
Well, I'm replacing an address that starts with http://www.msplinks.com/blah blah blah, with an address that starts with http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/blah blah blah
should I be using an msplinks address you think?
But all in all it's no big deal, I'm very happy with the overlay as it is.
Thanks!
Chadd,
I noticed yesterday that when you put a link to any site, even outside of myspace, it renames the address with a "msplinks" address when you save your profile. I can't imagine what that buys them, except for making your page users unaware of where links go until after they click. But the new msplinks address should redirect to whatever link you pasted. After you saved your profile, does the link go to the correct album page?
Rob,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry I missed the joke, I'm can be real simple sometimes. Yesterday I deleted some friends and comments, and now there is a horizontal scroll-bar across the bottom of my right-hand square. Should I keep deleting more friends until it fixes? ;)
http://www.myspace.com/ensignsteve
Rob sorry to keep spamming your comments, but I just read reply #90, so no need to worry about my last question. Thanks!
Chadd,
Hmmm... That's unusual. Even though all links posted on MySpace pages are getting replaced with msplink redirects, it should have eventually led to the right page. I'll have to check that out.
Jade,
No problem. Glad you figured things out.
Hey Rob. Thank you so much for this.
It actually works is Safari 3 on a mac.
However I tested it both on Safari & Firefox on mac and can't see the advertisments and don't want to violate any term of services.
I looked at your page as well and I see no ads.
Don't know if that is the final glitch in the mac versions.
Thanks again.
Derek,
Don't worry about the ads not showing. That's just a MySpace glitch that has nothing to do with the overlay code. Happens all the time, even with no layout code installed on the profile. Try forcing a browser refresh (I don't know how to do this on a Mac but on a Windows machine, it's Ctrl + F5) and you'll eventually see the ads.
And thanks for confirming that it works on Safari 3. Haven't gotten around to testing that yet...
i'm sure this is the upteenth time you've been asked. but this overlay is near perfect and easy to personalize but i think music would be ideal. so there is no code to add the music from myspace??
i love love love it otherwise.
Hello, thank you very much for all your hard work.
The layout has almost entirely worked, except that the scrollbars don't seem to display as intended.
http://www.myspace.com/acidjamnight
And thank you again!
Ed,
Some of your friends extra wide comments are spreading the layout out of proportion, most particularly the one made by Tom Baker with the extra long URLs. Delete that comment and any others with extra wide images or long URLs and the horizontal scrollbars in the right column will disappear.
Just wanting to see if you knew about the new myspace coding. If you use the white layout you still have to enter the "myspace profile editor" to change the color to white. Same thing with the black. If there is another color set it will come through as the background color of the layout and it loses the effect. I'm okay with changing it myself but I just wanted to throw that out there for futur reference
Angel,
I just retested installing the white overlay and it came out fine in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and Firefox 2. Not sure what you're talking about although I can definitely assert that these overlays were never intended to be used in conjunction with the new MySpace.com Profile Editor. In fact, these overlays came out way before that profile editor came into existence. The only thing that I can imagine went wrong with your installation is that you failed to clear all styles applied from using the profile editor prior to installing the overlay.
Ok. So I learned from reading other people's comments that this layout does not work in Safari. Since I don't own a mac, but I have several friends who do would someone please tell me what this profile looks like in Safari? I'm really curious. Is it just the basic original layout?
Thanks.
Joanna,
The layout disappears altogether in Safari 2. I think it has something to do with setting overflow to hidden on the body element. But I've been far too busy with Iron Spider to dig into this just yet. Apparently, these layouts are compatible with Safari 3 on Mac though...
Thank you So Much.
This Was Totally Easy And Now my Profile is Bangin.
Thanks
I absolutely love the DIV Overlay looks onbanner my page, but how can get the banner ad at very top to show. Will my profile be deleted from myspace?
My myspace url : myspace.com/ms_tammi_tee
I've been endlessly searching for a layout like this, it's absolutely perfect, you're a genius. minimalism is the key to life! tHaNxZ,
mousers!
Tammi,
You're right. The display of the ad was being suppressed. Looks like MySpace made some changes to their template again. This issue has now been corrected. Please see the overlay changelog page for a quick copy-and-paste fix OR just run through the generator again and install the new code.
Derek,
I know you had previously told me about the glitch with the ad a couple weeks back. Sorry about that... (*wiping egg off face*)...
THANKYOU SO MUCH!!! This overlay is bloody awesome! You are a myspace GOD! X
tooooooo easy
plus youmake it funny and interesting
thanks so much!
I've read the previous posts re: the ad on top of the page being suppressed and in IE everything looks fine. But in Firefox which is my preference the ad overlaps the top of the profile. It can vary slightly depending on the ad. Sometimes it just touches the top of the profile.
http://www.myspace.com...
Also I'm seeing this text right above GETTIN' AROUND in both Firefox and IE.
I've used the most recent overlay code generator for the freshest code. (I did read).
Other than that all seems to be working fine. I love the look and that the player is invisible and have music.
Thanks!
Leo,
The MySpace URL you posted is not correct. Can you post your official MySpace URL, please, so I can come take a look? The official MySpace URL is not the one that appears in your address bar but the one that appears in your MySpace URL box. It will look like this:
http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com
BTW, I took a look at my test site in Firefox 2 and I'm not seeing the issues you describe. What version of Firefox are you using? Also the NETWORK INFORMATION BEGIN blurb is just fluff I add to the overlay to make it look more geeky. It's not a glitch.
omg you're code is just perfect! I loved it!!! ^^ thankyou so much!!
Very easy thx :)
why is my myspace not working as soon as i added your white overlay code to my profile..
Emily,
I assure you... It takes MUCH more than a few kilobytes of CSS to bring down a web server. My overlays have absolutely nothing to do with the login and access problems MySpace has been having this week.
You should check the MySpace help blog for more info on any access problems..
http://www.myspace.com/myspacehelp
Great overlay, I love it, one question.
Any chance of hiding the advertisement banner at the top of the page? It kind of ruins the minimalistic effect of the page.
Uppy,
No can do. Sorry. Hiding the banner ad at the top of MySpace pages is strictly against the MySpace Terms of Use Agreement. All those who do so risk getting their account deleted.
Oki doke, nevermind.
Your overlays are 1337.
Just used the overlay on my profile, and thankyou. That's the first time i've actually been able to use one because i never understood them before. You made it easy for anyone to understand and use.
elegant, beautiful layout. A suggestion for the next version-- The comments aren't justified, and don't wrap properly to the size of the table. Thus, I have a scrollbar on the bottom as well as the side. If the comment text could wrap more narrowly it would be perfect.
edit to add:
http://www.myspace.com/...
and I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on a mac, 1680x1050
Kristen,
On your profile, the right column is spread out of proportion because of a couple of videos posted to your Friends Comments section. Delete those videos (comments) and your layout won't spread. This layout spread has nothing to do with text alignment (justified text).
my friends keep telling me that they cant send me messages or view my pics. everytime they click on it it says "invalid friend ID" how do i fix this?
December,
You entered the wrong friend ID when you went through the code generator. Or perhaps you ignored this step altogether. Go through the generator again and pay special attention to step # 4.
it's great, but it still keeps displaying top advertisement, despite the new code :(
Eleonora,
It's supposed to display the top banner ad. The recent fix I applied was meant to prevent the overlay code from accidentally suppressing the display of the top banner ad. It's strictly against the MySpace Terms of Use agreement to hide the banner ad.
Hey Rob,
Thanks for the Awesome layout, and for taking the time to design it and make it user friendly for us!
Is there any way to change the background to an image though? That would be my only suggestion for improvement
Other than that, Muchas Gracias Senor!
its cool, simple, but i think it could do with having friends/comments hidden, and a bit of tips on how to put extras in.
but thanks alot mate!
Hey u really need to get more of a selection in overlays, i think ur web-site is tight, keep it up. Good job!
Hey !
the layout is great thanks alot !
But i was just woindering how can you play music ? is that possible ?
danny x
HEEY just wanted to ask about an anomaly that keeps appearing on my page every now and then... The top left corner of my fields keeps disappearing until you hold down and drag the mouse over it. Is this anything to do with my profile pic being too close to the edge of the field? Any suggestions would be much appreciated... Thank you! X
OHHH by the way my page is:
http://www.myspace.com/evilnikk
EVILNIKK - X
EVILNIKK,
Looks like it's a problem specific with Firefox as I'm seeing your page display normally in Internet Explorer. I'd like to help you with that but I only have time to debug the overlay code if it remains unmodified. Humble apologies.
that was as easy and 123
love it!
post more!
vic
hey,
i just got you white layout and i love it but my foto (under the main heading on the main page) is HUGE! how can i make it small like the yellow flowers on the display one?
thankyou greatly
x
Tess,
Your photo will have to be resized using a graphics editor like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.
Try one of these freebies if you don't have a graphics editor:
http://www.ironspider.ca/freetools/grfxeditors.htm
Is it possible that you can let us add links in the overlay?
Lucas,
Add links? Sure. But just don't remove the link back to Robthunder.com
TO ALL:
I recently moved robthunder.com to a new web host and in the process, some of the most recent comments to this page got lost in the shuffle, i.e., they got posted after I backed up the database that I used to reinstall the blog on the new host. Most humble apologies to those whose comments didn't survive the move. It was nothing personal.
Do you have any idea why my blurb would not run along the right side of my picture?
Also, why does the ad at the top of the page show? It didn't with the white overlay.
And, in firefox, the scroll bars are light vs dark grey in IE.
myspace.com/jmtii
Thanks for your help!
nevermind the question on the ad banner
John,
It looks like you modified the overlay code and removed the
align="left"attribute/value pair from theimgtag. I would suggest reinstalling the overlay code from scratch. Also I wouldn't recommend trying to modify the code unless you really know what you're doing (i.e., you have extensive HTML/CSS experience).Hey, Rob. Thanks for updating the code for the background glitch. I knew that something was off when I saw the gray background in firefox. By the way I have a music flash player embedded into my profile, and it looks fine in firefox, but in IE it look like it's cut off at the end, no matter where I position it and it seems to do that with any type of player. Any ideas as to why that may be? Anyway it's not a big deal, just thought I'd ask.
Joanna,
My overlays were not intended to be compatible with installing flash music players so I can't advise you on your situation.
That was amazing thank you so much =)
Hey Rob,
I love the stuff you got to offer, and I just put up the white profile a week or 2 ago. And everything was going fine till I got on one day and my friend sent me a message about my profile getting bigger for some reason. I checked it and it was different. Some text was missing and the scroll bars were acting weird (dissapearing about every other time I checked the profile) . And my friend uses Internet Explorer, and so do I. After a while of fiddleing, I gave up and started using AOL Explorer and that sadly had the same results. So, Idk if this is some new code that myspace put up to screw up the profile, but just the other day it was perfect and the next day it changed without me doing anything. If you can look into it or whatever, my profile is "www.myspace.com/sean04smith".
Thanks,
-Sean
Sean,
Humble apologies but I am just far too busy to go randomly poking around "looking into" problems that only appear intermittently (which is far more likely to do with the MySpace Cold Fusion script that builds the pages anyway). Unless you can describe a specific problem that appears all the time and show it to me in action, there's not much I can do. I took a look at your site in Internet Explorer 6 & 7 and Firefox 2 and I'm not seeing any issues at all.
hey I treid it on my profile but there arent any scrollbars =[ so I doesnt scroll down and I cant see the entire profile
is there any way to fix that?
was it something that went wrong?
Nikki,
What's your MySpace URL? And make sure your profile is not set on private otherwise I can't see what's going on with the overlay code you installed.
okay
its "fredfredbob"
thanks for taking a look at it
Nikki,
I took a look at your page in Internet 6 & 7 and Firefox 2 and I'm not seeing any issues with it at all. Maybe you're unclear as to exactly how the overlay is supposed to display. The scrollbars that typically appear on the right side of your web browser are supposed to be removed. The only scrollbars that should appear will be those on the left side of each box in the overlay.
Take a look at the overlay test page to compare it to yours:
http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com
the test page looked just like mine
I think its a problem concerning my computer, not the layout
thank you for the help
whod u get so cool?
i frikken love this profile heeeeeeeeeey!
u rock dude x
Great overlay. Looks totally clean, nice and simple.
All compliments aside, you might like to know that it appears that myspace has changed their default layout again. The shortcuts and search bar appears above the profile with your current layout.
That said, thanks again for the layout. It;s by far the best I've found.
James,
Thanks for the heads up... Yes I noticed that yesterday but was too busy updating all my Iron Spider MySpace layouts. The Rob Thunder MySpace overlays are next on my list (like right now in fact). They should be updated within the next few hours.
(edit)
Okay, all Rob Thunder overlays have been updated with the fix and are fully functional in Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9. Full details and a quick copy-and-paste fix are posted on the MySpace Overlay Changelog page.
So I went through the layout generator again to update it with the new navigation bar fix, but I noticed that the google search bar appears to be showing again, it's probably something that myspace changed again. Just a heads up.
Yes thanks anyway Joanna, but I'm fully aware of that.
TO ONE AND ALL:
I am no longer supporting the Google search bar hide code in any of my layouts or overlays. Please see my MySpace blog for a full explanation.

Hello!
Your Myspace overlay is awesome but i everytime i go onto have a look at it on my profile i doesnt show up, its just a plank black page, any idea?
Ollie,
The overlays are not yet compatible with Safari on Macs.
I'm not on a Mac though
Ollie,
What web browser and version are you using? Also, what do you see when you visit this page?
http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com
I noticed the navigation bars on my myspace page and was coming to on your page to let you know and guess what, you already had the fix up for it ... great job! Thanks
Hi there. I just wanted to thank you, for the div overlay generator. I recently joined myspace and found the default layout pretty gross, especially the colors. I wanted a unique page, so I had to take a crash course in div, css & html. Totally confuzzled at times...and so, its coming together, thanx to your generator :). I gotta ways to go, but I am finding that I mostly enjoy the behind the scenes work that I'm having to do, more so than socializing, crazy, kinda cool though, many thanx bro. (http://myspace.com/lilrunningdeer)
Thanks for the fixed version. I love this overlay!
love the layout. it was exactly what i was looking for. nice one dude
You should make a link at the bottom saying 'Report user' because whores such as myself with 100k or any k really who are sceptic cant use your code or they get deleted for not havign that as an easy visible link.
Oooooookay... uhhh... that's certainly not an issue that addresses the majority of MySpace users, Kieron... And besides, you could always just manually add that link yourself if you were really concerned about this. Also, both overlays do have a 'block' link. Do you actually know somebody who got their profile deleted because they didn't have a 'Report User' link on their profile? And if so, are you or are they absolutely sure that was the reason?
If someone was spreading pro-nazi stuff and a whore and alls you could do was block them from contacting you then that doesn't address that particular issue - myspace doesnt give reasons for deleting people but if there is a link that says 'report user' then im sure it's there for a reason lol.
I just tried to use your plain white overlay and the generate code button is not working. However, the reset button is working.
What's the deal?
Michele,
Something in your browser's settings is preventing the execution of Javascript. Try a different web browser.
I'm using your white div overlay and I've tinkered so far and away I accidentally found a way to get the myspace music player to play without sacrificing the aesthetically pleasing minimal design.
If you define the selector "table table td div embed" to position:absolute you won't see the player on Firefox or I.E. but you can certainly hear it. Perhaps you already know this. I've also gotten my flash music player to work cross-browser.
alright so i like the layouts u came up with but i've been lookin at other sites for other div layouts and for some reason cant get any of em to work...and now all my friends want div layouts after they've seen mine....but of course we dont want same thing any suggestions? or do u have anymore besides these 2?
also is there any way people can still view my blogs?
or is there any way to still have music on profile?
sry if someone already asked u this i scanned through them and looked but didnt see nething like this so
Lydia,
I don't think you have to add any code to be able to 'hear' the music player. I tinkered around with this myself and noticed that if the music player is set to autostart, you will actually hear it (although you won't see it).
TO ANY ONE ELSE READING THE ABOVE: Hearing the music player in the plain black or the plain white MySpace DIV layout was not an intended result. This was simply something one user discovered by accident and then posted here about it. I am not officially offering any technical support regarding the use of the MySpace music player in either of these DIV layouts.
-------------
TO ALL,
Alrighty then... As some of you may have noticed, the web design here at robthunder.com got a complete overhaul and YES this means that I am now officially working on this site which also means a whole slew of new overlays are on the way.
I'm going for about 10 new ones to start and they will all show the music player (as this was the most frequent suggestion). I'm going to stick with the easy 5 step installation for all of them and I'm hoping to have them ready (as well as a link removal license option) by the end of the month.
Thanks to one and all for your continuing support and feedback and sorry it took me so long to get to working on new content for this site (I know I promised new overlays last summer).
~ Rob
Thanks man I am loving the simple black layout, but recently when you click anywhere on the page my song automatically stops and does not start back up unless i refresh the page. is this some new code that can fix this?
Ryan,
The plain black MySpace DIV layout wasn't meant to be compatible with having a music player installed on your profile.
Rob -- awesome overlay, works perfectly and is the best thing for anyone wanting a minimalist look.
also ... for all of those who are asking for a way to still put up the music player, i used the DIV overlay and put in my own code for a third party playlist in the "blurb about me" part. works great, and i'm not limited to one song. that might help some people instead of trying to rework all the code to get the original player back.
hey man, absolutely love the look you've got going with these two themes and am hoping to have them up and running for our band page (im sure you can guess the question lurking round the corner).
What's compatibility looking like with the MySpace Music profile interface?
Aaron,
As clearly stated on the robthunder.com home page, these overlays are not compatible with MySpace music profiles.
Dear Rob,
thanks for the most eclectic overlay existing.
Since some days the musicplayer doesn't autostart, I made an overlay update on your page, but it only bounced back in when I temporarily took it off to see if it's a myspace glitch which I heard happens to many.
I know creation is more fun than the fix, but please... HELP ; )))))) thanks Sebastian 109746924
Why is everybody asking about the music player all of a sudden as if it's supposed to be compatible with these overlays?
READ MY LIPS, PEOPLE:
THE PLAIN BLACK AND THE PLAIN WHITE OVERLAYS ARE NOT ~I REPEAT~ ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE MYSPACE MUSIC PLAYER.
REMOVE YOUR MUSIC PLAYER IF YOU INTEND ON USING ONE OF THESE OVERLAYS. I CANNOT OFFER ANY TECHNICAL SUPPORT REGARDING THIS.
That being said, yes, some overlays are on the way (I'm working on them right now) that will be compatible with the MySpace music player. They are not ready now, nor am I in any way shape or form referring to the plain black or the plain white MySpace overlays already on this site.
ONCE AGAIN...
THE PLAIN BLACK AND THE PLAIN WHITE MYSPACE OVERLAYS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MYSPACE MUSIC PLAYER. IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP YOUR MUSIC PLAYER INSTALLED, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
thanks for the minimalist myspace black div layout! i am playing around with changing the scroll bar colors. have you thought about incorporating somthing like that? My tries aren't working in Firefox, but they do work in Explorer ... grrr. Here are my sources:
scrollbar-base-color: grey;
scrollbar-arrow-color: grey;
scrollbar-DarkShadow-Color: grey;

Gary,
Custom-color scrollbars are not supported in Gecko-based browsers like Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla or Seamonkey. The only way you can customize the scrollbars in Firefox is by using a theme.
nevermind ... please delete so i don't look like a dumb-ass :)
Hi Rob,
hope you're very good, thank you for your fast help. People get located to their own blog when clicking on mine. what can I do? Have a relaxing weekend, greetings from Berlin, Sebastian 109746924
Hi Rob
I'm looking at your own myspace profile and also the white-overlay example. The big top-banner is not hidden on both of them. Is this intentional? I'm quite a new in myspace community and don't know their policies - do they allow to hide banner-ads?
Sebastion & Heather,
These DIV layouts weren't originally intended to allow people to access your blog. It was pretty much a given that if someone wanted to go with the minimalist look, that they didn't intend on using their MySpace blog. However, early next week I will be updating both the plain white and the plain black DIV layouts with a 'View My Blog' link. I will post news of the update to my Changelog page.
Martin,
Yes, the big top banner is allowed to display on all my MySpace layouts intentionally. It is strictly against the MySpace Terms of Use agreement to hide this banner ad. These banner ads provide a major source of revenue for MySpace.com. Without them, free web pages on MySpace would simply not exist.
hey
thankyou so much
it was so easy and it looks awesome.
One of my friends viewed it and he said he did'nt like because everything is stuck into two little boxes. Now that he said that it's kinda true. So can you add something in the generator that can adjust the size?
Also I found out you can embed items in it and thanks for doing all of this!
Hey, love the simple black layout for myspace but I have just one quick question. I don't know if you'll get this though there seems to be a lot of posts. Is there any way that you can create a simple black layout like you have now but without showing comments?
Lucas,
Yeah I can't expect the minimalist-two-little-box look to be everybody's cup of tea but judging from the comments a lot of people really like it. However some more DIV layouts are on the way (in about a week or so) that are completely different, e.g., they will feature a wide 3 column format and will permit the use of the MySpace music player, Youtube videos, extra wide comments, the whole shebang.. :o)
Jamie,
I don't do custom layout requests but I'll count your comment as a suggestion for future projects.
hey im curious if you would happen to know a way to alow the myspace music player to show over the overlay
thanks
im sorry, now i read the rest of the comments and feel kind of like an idiot
i was using you overlay before and i recently wanted to change it, but before that i had actualy found somewhere that gave a code to show the music player, but sadly i forgot to save it before i tried changing my prof...and as unsuprising as it may seem i didnt like the other overlays, so im using yours again
ty for you hard work making these overlays and i cant wait to see the new ones
hi!!! Ive big fan of the plain white and looking forward to any new designs..
I'm having a problem on my page, the " _ in your extended network" text is showing under the toolbar, I havent made any changes to my page, is this a glitch ?
Hi Rob,
Without this, myspace would suck a lot more. I have been using your layout for a while. I love it. I am enjoying and learning a lot messing around with it. I test my myspace in Firefox 2 and Safari 3. I know it does not work in Safari 2 but works great in the new Safari. You can download safari for free for windows on apple's site. For the people wanting music player on their page I would recommend the ilike.com widget. It worked great for me when I used it. Also, I have the same problem as Richie above the extended banner is peering out of the banner. I don't know computer languages but let me know if I can help. Thanks Again

TO ALL:
Yes I'm aware of the issue with the Extended Network table. Yesterday, MySpace.com decided to wrap another table around the Extended Network table which messed up some of my layouts. I'm on it. A fix should be available within 24 hours. I have to take care of all the layouts at ironspider.ca first as they were affected by this as well.
A reminder about those who insistly keep posting asking about the compatibility of the music player with these overlays...

UPDATE: Monday afternoon (Eastern) December 3rd, 2007 - I'm still hard at work updating the Iron Spider MySpace layouts. The curve ball that MySpace.com recently threw at us in the form of modifying their default profile code is a really doozy to work around and is taking up a lot of my time. But rest assured that I haven't forgotten about the Rob Thunder DIV layouts. I'll be updating all of these as soon as I can.
Thank you for your patience and humble apologies for the inconvenience.
this is badass i like it its easy you should make more high teck ones that are still easy like that
Hey!
Just wanted to thank you for the wonderfull layout. I've been fooling around with div's for a long time and I think this is the best I've found! Hopefully I will use for a long time cause it's so versatile. I change a few parts in it but kept your link as "rob thunder". If you want it, I can change it back. =)
Thanks again!
http://www.myspace.com/munkeekicksass
Danielle,
Check back in about a week or so. I'll have a whole batch of new DIV layouts ready.
Sir Munkee,
No that's fine. As long as the link to robthunder.com is in there somewhere. Good job, by the way!
Your generate button is not working for the overlays.
Jason,
Yeah sorry... The black DIV layout generator has now been fixed (the white DIV layout generator was unaffected).
Hey,
This was like finally receiving a breath of fresh air. Your layout is fantastic, love it. Thank you!
Hi Rob,
I sent you a comment last night...
did you delete it? and why ?
JdL
JDL (AND TO EVERYONE ELSE WONDERING WHY THE COMMENT THEY POSTED NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY)...
If your comment contained a custom code request then it got deleted. As I clearly state in my post at the top of the page, I don't have time to do custom code requests.
EXAMPLE:
"I really like this overlay but I would like to have the code/help/advice on how to make it do [INSERT ANYTHING HERE]... Can you help me plz?"
NO I CAN'T. This is what I call a custom code request. I get far too many of these and if I responded to them all I simply would not have a life (or food on the table or a roof over my head). And it really pains me to have to delete any positive feedback (or any feedback at all for that matter) but if it's mixed in with a custom code request then out it goes.
The only comments that make it to this page are those that contain feedback (and only feedback), those that request technical support and contain the affected MySpace URL (and the profile is not set on 'Private') and those comments worded in the form of a suggestion.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
"I installed your overlay but it doesn't look right. Can you help me plz?..."
NO I CAN'T. You didn't post your MySpace URL. I've wasted far too much time asking for peoples' MySpace URLs in these situations only to have them never return here again to follow up on the question they asked. From now on, no MySpace URL, no help. PERIOD. (And the comment gets deleted right away).
When the 10 new overlays that I'm currently working on get launched here at robthunder.com (very soon) I will post a very explicit set of guidelines on how to post comments here. The biggest problem I've learned over the past year here is, quite frankly, PEOPLE DON'T READ.
How could i hide my friends and my comments with your layout?
TO ALL:
The comment directly above is a classic example of what I'm talking about in comment #276.
Can't wait to see the new overlays
thanks again for the ones you have already made
hi thanks for the layout! love it! but how do i add my own pictures/icons to the layout? do i insert them in somehow before the layout code is provided or after by editing my myspace code--and if so, what section(s) do i insert it under? thanks sooo much!!!
hey im sorry that i just asked you for a custom request...just ignore my message!!! thanks for the layout!!!
Oh dear god thank you for this.
your response to some of the questions are great !!! I come on just to read them ...lol HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! looking forward to the '08 layouts ..
hi Rob, was there a fix for for the problem with the extended banner showing through the page ??
Richie,
No, there is no copy-and-paste code fix for that. But both the plain black and plain white DIV layouts have been updated so that the extended network glitch is fixed. You'll have to generate fresh layout code and replace your currently installed layout with that.
But before you do, you might want to browse through the ten new DIV layouts I've just added here.
Hey Man. Thanks for a great layout. It seems that my friend space is being pushed down on my profile and I have no idea why that is happening. My myspace url is:
http://www.myspace.com/hollywoodbobbyb
could you take a quick look and let me know if i did something wrong? Thanks so much in advance.
Joe,
Your profile is set on private so I can't see it. However, my guess is that you don't have a MySpace music player installed and you forgot to set this option to 'NO' in the overlay generator.
Hey Rob. My links for my stuff doesn't work and I tried correcting my friend Id and it's just not the problem. What more could I be doing wrong?
http://profile.myspace.com/...
Yim,
I just tested installing the layout you're using on my test profile using your friend ID (3500584) and all the links worked fine. I was able to correctly view your pics and access your 'Send Message' form. You must have entered the wrong friend ID.
This is your friend ID:
3500584
Make sure you enter that and nothing else in the friend ID box in the overlay generator.
Also, your pic is too wide which is causing some DIV float dropping in your layout. Use a smaller pic (maximum width - 425 pixels).
Thanks for your help Rob. I'm just a blonde sometimes..alot of times. So I appreciate your help
I was wondering how much you charge to make a personal DIV MySpace Layout? Feel free to email me. My myspace is http://www.myspace.com/houston_socialite
Reagan,
Humble apologies but I don't do custom layouts.
Just came by to check the new overlays.
Congratz!!! =) They seem to be an answer to alot of requests... But I gotta say I'm still in love with the plain white!
It's just so freaking simple and versatile!!! ;P
Thanks again for making it!
When I prayed for patience to learn how to do these overlays my prayers wheren't answered, and then you came along and provided them!!! ^^
By the way... People should really try to google their questions and try and tinker a little for themselves... ;P
Cheers!

I just wanted to say I love these layouts. They are plain but still allow easy customizing. I do want to request possibly some more layouts. I think some more girly ones would be good. Thanks so much!
Tiffanie
Firstly I have to say im very impressed Rob oyu are the only guy who not only provides a comprehensive div setup but also helps people out.
Iv set up a page for work http://www.myspace.com/fighters_magazine
I am unable to create links to myphotos, i have read earlier posts but im still stuck, please help
many thanks
ed
Ed,
You must have edited the link to your photos so that it corrupted your friend ID because your other links work fine. I think the easiest solution for you would be to delete everything and then simply reinstall the layout code fresh from my site here. Also, check all your links BEFORE you add any other MySpace codes from another site. I provide technical support for fresh installs of my layouts. After that, if you start mucking about with it, all bets are off.
Also, if you want free font codes, check this page at my other site (step #3):
http://www.ironspider.ca/adv/myspace/seveneasysteps.htm
I would like to add more videos to my page as I work with bands and want to post some of their videos on my page. I don't know where to put the video codes, or if I can even do it. It says you can post many videos. That's why I used this layout! By the way, it's professional enough to double as a work layout as well as my personal site. Thanks! I have been changing and changing layouts to try to find something that fit. :)
Rebecca
Rebecca,
Assuming that you're using one of my three-column MySpace DIV layouts, just add all the video codes in the box in Step #3. Put a couple of line breaks between each video code snippet to space your videos out nicely. Your videos will be stacked up vertically in the middle column. Youtube as well as MySpace TV videos are supported.
As for the plain black and plain white two-column MySpace layouts, they don't really support videos (well they do but they'll just spread your layout out of proportion so don't bother).
Thanks rob big help
Rob,
I wanted to write to you and thank you for your designs in layouts for myspace. We set up blogs, myspace sites, and Youtube sites for people who don't know how or have the time to set their sites up.
We have been trying to find the most professional looking sites, even tried creating our own, but the amount of work we do on a daily basis, we don't have the time. We found your layouts and absolutely love them, and so do the people. Yes, of course, we leave the banner tag and links back to you, but would like to know if you have a service fee for multiple sites and later being able to take the links and tags off? Or do you only have a service fee for each profile being uploaded onto profiles and charging for each layout tag to be removed? Either way is fine. We don't mind just leaving the links on, but if someone would like to have it removed, how would you go about charging other than just per layout?
Thanks in advance. Your talented!
Shannon,
Thanks for your feedback. :o)
As for the Link Removal License, it is not charged per layout but rather per MySpace URL (i.e. MySpace profile).
The way it works is you specify which MySpace profile you are purchasing the link removal license for and then that MySpace profile may use ANY Rob Thunder MySpace layout free of promotional links.
If you want to change the layout on your licensed MySpace profile for another Rob Thunder layout, you may do so at no additional charge and still retain your right to remove the promotional links.
Sorry but there is no special link removal fee for multiple profiles since the license is cheap enough already. The fee is only $12 USD for each MySpace profile and the link removal license lasts for life (no renewal fees).
TO ONE AND ALL who would like complete details on the Rob Thunder Link Removal License, click here...
Hey Rob,
Thanks for your answer for #286. That did the trick! I will be purchasing your link removal lisence shortly, but would like to know how i can integrate the myspace calendar with the dark div layout. It seems that if I turn on the calendar, that it shifts the friend space down and the calendar appears below the short blurb. Is there a way that I can still integrate the calendar into this layout? I'd pay you for your time if required. Thanks!
Joe,
My DIV layouts are not compatible with the MySpace calendar. Sorry. You should disable it.
Hey..
I am trying to use one of the custom layouts but the boxes are greyed out where you enter your friend ID, Picture URL, etc.. ??
DJ KuRvY,
All the DIV layout generators are launched by entering your heading in Step #1. When going through a step-by-step process, it's pretty much a given that you begin with the first step, right? ;)
Although I feel your layouts are right up my alley (outside the box), unfortunately it didn't turn out like I'd hoped. My profile pic was the full width of the page and it just didn't get it for me. I would like my page to not be the run of the mill so I guess I'll keep looking. Thanks anyway.
Kimberly,
Why didn't you just use a smaller pic? The CSS layout code doesn't do anything to resize your pic so if it was too big, it's because that is the actual size of your pic. I wish you would have posted your MySpace URL so I could have seen what you did.
hey man, i love the profiles, but i was thinking if you'd ever try and make one to where the comments are either hidden or they're in a scrolling box or something. Just curious to if that was a possibility. anyways thanks for the pros they're are great.
i love this layout, i have been looking for ages to find a simple white layout that is a bit different. the only thing is when you click on pictures you cant see the folders, and you cant hide your top friends. And i dont know if it is just me but i wanted a smaller picture so i re sized it and uploaded it but it still came up massive. but good job :D
Hey there!
Thank you sooo much for your overlay!
Great job! I hate average and therefore always searched for a real different layout!
I really hope though you come up with some new styles ;)
btw-also enjoyed the way you lead through the generator, you have a fun and refreshing way to write!
Take care, and keep up the great work!
much love from Germany
Marion
Very nice DIVs. I am impressed. However, I have 2 questions.
1. There is a large gap of "blank" between the top of the page and the beginning of the interface. Reloaded multiple times, with no change. Is this how it was intended, or is it an error?
2. After obtaining the Link Removal License, I found what appears to be a "sister site", potentially of your design, with a layout generator (Iron Spider). I am curious as to whether or not it is related to you.
Thanks!
http://www.myspace.com/planetduck
Justin,
Thanks for the feedback.
With regards to your page:
Go to your "Profile Edit" page and delete everything in the About Me box and also delete your little blurb in the I'd Like to Meet box that appears directly before the DIV layout code (i.e., "God. Any alien lifeform. Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes, best hip-hop producer today. Vince Lombardi, best football coach of all-time...."). This is what is creating that big gap (and no that gap is not intended).
All text boxes on the "Profile Edit" screen should be empty before installing the DIV layout code.
And yes, Iron Spider is one of my sites. :o)
Rob,
I have had many compliments on my page, but two people mentioned these, and I figured I'd be "That Guy" and relay them here.
The "Add Comment" link is only visible at the bottom of the page. Putting it at the top of the comment section below "Friends".
Also, the friends photos are rather small, and their display names tend to run together even after minimal lengths.
For future reference is all...
Thanks!
Justin,
Your friends must have missed it because the "Add Comment" link appears at both the top and the bottom of the Friends Comments section. I just checked your page again in three different browsers (Internet Explorer 6 & 7 and Firefox 2).
As for the friends display names running together, I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm not seeing this effect on your profile. What web browser and version are you using?
Rob,
Have you had a chance to figure out the issue Chadd brought up previously about the 'View My Pics' link? The link takes you to view ALL of your pics at one time vs. taking you to your Album Page.
The link below will take you to your album page, but every time I try to paste over your code, it removes the 'View My Pics' and 'View my Blog' links. Then I have to re-paste your original code in to get them back.
My URL
myspace.com/jmtii
Thanks!
John,
Re: "The link below will take you to your album page, but every time I try to paste over your code, it removes the 'View My Pics' and âView my Blogâ links."
If you know HTML, you'd realize this is impossible and essentially makes no sense from a MySpace security filter point-of-view. You must have made an error during the copy-and-paste operation. By the way, your pics are set on Private so I can't verify exactly what happened with the pics link on your page (the link you posted was incorrect).
As for the View My Pics link going to the user's albums page instead of to all their pics, this is on my to-do list and will be put into effect during the next Rob Thunder DIV layouts update (along with a couple or three other things).
hi,
nice layouts, however i tried to "install" the music one on my music myspace but i couldn't have the comment displayed, neither the player, am I doing something wrong?
Rgrds
Yes David,
The very first sentence on the MySpace Music Layouts page is, and I quote:
"These MySpace Music layouts should not be confused with those that are compatible with MySpace music profiles..."
I don't know how you missed that. I tried to make it as prominent as possible. Maybe I should have put it in ALL CAPS?... :)
Sorry to be the thorn Rob, however some of the links that are supposed to send people to my blogs, or my pics, etc. are taking people back to the myspace homepage. I have done eveeything I can find on the subject with no success. Any thoughts?
myspace.com/planetduck
Justin,
You entered the wrong friend ID in step #4. Run through the generator again and this time pay special attention to step #4. Your friend ID will be a series of numbers (and numbers only, about 8 or 9 digits long). By the way, this is covered in my FAQ.
Hey Rob,
I know you're busier than a three peckered billy goat but any update as to when these beautiful layouts might work with a myspace music profile. I'm well aware that they don't. I did read the fine print. But I'd bet their usage would quadruple if/when they would.
Thanks for all of your hard(un-compensated)work.
Paul
Paul,
Sorry but there is no plan whatsoever to make these DIV layouts compatible with MySpace music profiles. I'm not sure where you got the idea that there was something in the works. That would require completely rewriting the code. Moreover, people with music profiles would have a whole new set of criteria with regards to which modules they'd want to show through, for example, the "Upcoming Shows" section, etc.
Rob,
Thanks for the quick response. I was just making an assumption. Can't hurt to wish though. I appreciate your work nonetheless and I will inform my friends of your layouts.
Have a great day!
Paul
Well thats, odd. My feedback was deleted. I posted it earlier last night. Anyways, I love your 3 column DIV layout designs. But when i try to get one / generate a code. The boxes are grayed out, do i have to make that 12 dollar purchase? If not, why is it grayed out?
Hi Rob,
A couple of issues at hand for me.
First and foremost I greatly appreciated your hardwork and hence bought your license removal thing. I was disappointed to find out that my license was NOT being removed. My understanding was that once i submitted my myspace url the removal would take care of itself. Was i wrong?
Second: My 3 column DIV layouts are coming out a bit strange and not as good looking as the example (www.myspace.com/mr_incrediblexx) The links appear below my picture and my media player runs in with my picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Jorge,
All generators are launched by beginning with step #1.
--------------------
Mexicanelmo,
For security reasons, all Link Removal License orders are processed manually. I just sent off all your details to the email address you used to make the Paypal payment. Check your email for the download page details and then follow the instructions on the download page to install the link removal code. Unfortunately, you didn't click on the 'Return to Merchant' button after making the Paypal payment because that would have taken you to a thank you page that explains everything.
Re: Your page... I just checked your page in five different browsers (IE7, IE6, Firefox, Opera and Safari) and I'm not seeing the effects you described. However, after checking your source code, I see that you mistakenly installed the code in your "About Me" box instead of into your "I'd Like to Meet" box. REMOVE all the code from your About Me box and copy-and-paste it into your I'd Like to Meet box and click on Save All Changes and check your page and get back to me.
Perfect. Big mistake on my part being too hasty. The page was not proportionate due to the fact that my initial picture size was to big. 1024 x 728. Turned it down a notch and it came out perfectly. Thanks for the timely response!
ive been using the plain profile for awhile now and i really like it, but i wanted to ask if you could incorporate a music player to the plain layouts and not just the 3 column layouts?
Great job on the layouts! I'm using the cool one. Have a great day! :-)
Hey Rob,
Whew, finally DIV for HTML illiterates like myself! Thanks! That said, I'm having a bit of a problem with my Myspace music player on the Dark Layout. I checked yes in the generating stage and I already set up my player in my Myspace profile. However, it still refuses to show up. Can you help? My URL is myspace.com/benedictswit.
Seth,
I'm seeing (or rather was seeing) your music player --Don't tell me by Madonna-- show up fine in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. However, in the process of checking your page, I see that you switched the layout code from your I'd Like to Meet box to your About Me box which is WRONG and is causing the whole layout to display too low. Remove the layout code from your About Me box and put it back in the I'd Like to Meet box and your layout will display fine.
And leave it like that and don't do anything else until I can come take a look at it if you need more assistance.
(edit)
Also, the Michael Clayton movie poster is spreading that column way out of proportion and causing your menu to drop out of position. I would either resize that pic smaller or delete it from your profile altogether.
Rob,
I have transferred the code to my I'd Like to Meet box, but my player is still not up. Maybe it's this computer, but nothing is shown to be blocked.
Seth,
I just checked your page out in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9 and they all show your music player fine (Don't tell me by Madonna).
What web browser are you using? Also, are you sure you have Flash enabled in this web browser? Visit the Flash test page and see what happens:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
AH-HA! I figured it out, or rather you did! This computer doesn't have that plug-in, so that's the problem then. I actually can't download software as this is a campus library computer, but at least I'll be able to see my player on my own computer then. Thanks Rob!!
You're welcome. :-)
Hey Rob.
First, let me say that I am a huge fan of your layouts!
However, I am currently having an issue with the Dark Layout in firefox. It seems that my friends space is jumping down below my profile information. But this dosen't happen in IE.
Any tips?
Thanks!
Daniel,
Tips? Yeah. POST YOUR MYSPACE URL like I mentioned, oh, FIVE TIMES in the Feedback Page Guidelines?
im sorry about that. i had it posted, but my browser crashed when i clicked submit and i must have forgotten to post it again.
http://www.myspace.com/specialdan
Daniel,
I just checked your page and everything is displaying normally in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Did you recently switch around your Top Friends list? Because there is an unavoidable issue with Firefox where if you have too many people in your top friends list with loooooooonngggg names that have no spaces in them then this will spread the third column out of proportion and cause it to drop out of position. This is because the top friends space is positioned using the CSS float property. (Sorry but it would take a whole bunch of technobabble to explain this fully.) The gist of it is: Firefox won't wrap loooooonnnnnggg friends names very well whereas Internet Explorer will.
Thanks a bunch. I moved some top friends and now its working great.
Hey Rob! I'm digging the layouts you have and the work that you've done. I was wondering if they would also work for band accounts. I may have missed it somewhere and honestly couldn't take reading all of the comments here, but I didn't see anything regarding band accounts. I'm worried about content and/or the music player being lost. Any advice? Thanks.

Sorry but these DIV layouts are not compatible with band profiles. This is noted at the bottom of my home page -

other than that im really happy with the layout.

hey...my layout is working great..thanx
I'm new to the whole DIV Overlays and was wondering if and how to add other graphice to the profile?I tried to add a cowboys star to my profile in the interest section but it didnt show up on my profile page. I added you as a friend so you should be able to see my profile =)
thanx again!!!!
Trish,
(EVERYBODY SHOULD READ THIS, IN FACT...)
'Normal' MySpace layouts work with the default MySpace modules, like your Interests and Details sections, and allow your input to show through while customizing only the presentation.
On the other hand, MySpace DIV layouts (a.k.a., overlays, div overlays) typically hide all the default MySpace modules. My overlays allow the Friends Space and Friends Comments sections to show through but that's it. Everything else is hidden.
Hence, if you try to add something to any text boxes on your 'Profile Edit' page it won't work. For all intents and purposes, your Interests section no longer exists.
If you wish to add content (including images) to your profile, you have to do so right from the get-go using the box in step #3 of the DIV layout generator. Actually, it's a lot easier to do it that way anyways because modifying the DIV layout code after it's installed can be a real nightmare if you don't know what you're doing. Also, I don't provide technical support for modifying the DIV layout code after it's installed.
Also be advised that both Photobucket and ImageShack offer an onsite image editor you can use to resize your images. This is important because the maximum width of images you can insert into the DIV layout -using the box in step 3 of the generator- is about 425px (425 pixels). Any images wider than that will spread the middle column in the DIV layout out of proportion which may then cause your Friend Space section to drop out of position.
If your image is wider than 425 pixels, use the Photobucket or ImageShack (wherever you have your pic uploaded) image editor to resize it down.
I tried that and it's working great =D
Thank You bunches!!!!
Trish
i luv the layout u should do some more it was very easy for me and my page still is rockin
hey, I really love the overlay's. Only one issue though.
The profile doesn't seem to align in the middle of the page! I've had a look through the code and found away to align the picture along the top, but then I can't get the main part of the page to align. Any Ideas?
Calum,
I don't know which overlay you're talking about nor do I even know exactly what you're talking about.
To solve your problem, do the following:
1) NEVER muck with the layout code.
2) Go back to the DIV layout page you got the code from, go through the layout generator again and reinstall the code.
3) If you still have problems, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200.
Instead, come directly here and...
POST YOUR MYSPACE URL
...so I can come see with my own eyes exactly what you've done to your page. And make sure your profile is not set on PRIVATE.
TO ONE AND ALL:
Please read the FEEDBACK PAGE GUIDELINES and the FAQ PAGE before posting here.
Much thanks.
I've tried re-doing to code, but the overlay isn't in the middle of the screen.
it's not a huge deal, but I like being a perfectionist.
my url is: http://www.myspace.com/cal_bonzo2nd
Calum,
Two things:
1) You have some stray code left over in your 'About Me' section. Delete that and then click on 'Save All Changes'.
2) Then go to your Profile Edit >> Schools section and delete all your schools. Save/apply those changes.
Then check your profile and get back to me please.
I've done all of that but it's stayed the same
Calum,
Are you sure your heroes section is completely empty? I'm trying to reproduce your page error on my test profile and I can't do it. On my test profile, this layout displays fine. The only difference I see is that for some reason the heroes section is displaying on your profile (which typically happens when that section has some content in it).
argh, how did I miss that,
soz for wasting your time, and thanks for all the help.
My page is perfect now.
This is a really fantastic design. Of one note and I am sure you addressed it already, I had to make my text drpo below my picture by adding like 14 lines of nothing which was an eazy fix.
Rob,
By using one of your cool div layouts, which i might add are very cool indeed, how is it my friends can leave comments? Do i need to install a "comment box" in my blurb box?
P.S
I love the fact that my friends show in the DIV layout, most hide them =(
TO ALL:
Re: "Add Comment" link
Okay I finally figured out what people are misunderstanding concerning the "Add Comment" link and whether or not it appears at the top of the Friends Comments section or not.
This is the deal -
If you are viewing your own profile while you are logged in to MySpace, the top of the Friends Comments section will read:
Displaying xx of xx comments View/Edit All
The "Edit All" link gives you a quick link to edit (delete) the comments on your profile. However, this is NOT what everyone else sees at the top of your Friends Comments section.
What everyone else sees is this:
Displaying xx of xx comments ( View All | Add Comment )
That gives them a quick link to add a comment. This configuration has nothing to do with my DIV layout codes. This is simply the way MySpace handles all profiles. If you want to see your page exactly the way everyone else sees it, log out of MySpace and return to your profile. Then you will see the "Add Comment" link appear at the top of your Friends Comments section like the way everyone else sees it.
Thank you! I love, love, love my page!! It was so easy, and fun ( as I greatly enjoyed the humor ) Thank you : )
Love it! Thanks for all your time and work. The only thing that isn't right on mine is my friends wont fit beside the picture and text, so they end up below it. (I am using the Jazz DIV). Probably something I did though...
Kurtis,
Post your MySpace URL so I can see exactly what's up. Right now I can only guess. And a guess would be that your pic is too wide and is spreading the middle column out of proportion.
Another guess would be that one of your friends in your top friends list has a loooooonnngggg display name with no spaces which spreads the third column out of proportion and causes some float dropping.
But like I said, these are only guesses. It would be A LOT SIMPLER to diagnose the problem if I could just see your page.
POST YOUR MYSPACE URL, PLEASE.
Rob,
I checked it on another comp today and it was fine. Must just be my display. Thanks for getting back with me, and thanks for the layout!
Thank you for being gracious enough to share your graphic designs.
liked the layout.
when i clicked 'generate code' which i tried over and over, it didn't load at all.
...but the reset button worked.
pretty frustrating.
Hey Rob - great layouts - Thanks Man.
I'm using the Abstract layout and for some weird reason, when it loads, the background changes from dark to the crappy sandstone color I had on the profile before yours.
I went into Profile Editor to manually select the dark background a bazillion times now but it won't stick longer than a few seconds when the profile loads. Any thoughts? http://www.myspace.com/rdcorbin
Thanks for your time man, I appreciate what you do.
RC
Kristen,
Are you using the AOL web browser? If so, DON'T. Try installing Firefox instead and then run through the DIV layout generator again. All my DIV layouts and the DIV layout generators have been thoroughly tested in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Opera 9 and Safari 3 for Windows.
Ron,
You'll have to CLEAR ALL STYLES using the MySpace.com profile editor. Don't try to set a different background. Instead clear all the styles you applied altogether. Frankly, and with all due respect, I wouldn't recommend anyone use the MySpace.com profile editor unless you're an experienced web developer who wishes to contribute to helping MySpace debug it so they can get it out of Beta (test mode).
Also Ron, I would delete your currently installed DIV layout code because somehow the code got completely buggered up (maybe you were messing with it desperately trying to fix your problem?). Then come back here and generate some fresh code and install that.
Will do. Thanks man.
http://www.myspace.com/blu_lightning
Love the profile
On my profile is a non-working myspacetv video that I do not know how to remove...
Tanisha,
Go to your 'Edit Profile' page and click on 'Song & Video on profile' and you should be able to delete the MySpace TV video there.
ALSO, you should delete that hypster music player (delete all the code in your 'About Me' section) because it's pushing the DIV layout down out of position. If you want the hyperster player to appear in this layout, you have to enter the code in the 'Blurb' section of my DIV layout generator. Just plunk the music player code in there along with your blurb and then generate the layout code and then go back to your Edit Profile screen and replace your currently installed layout code with that (make sure you put it in the I'd Like to Meet section).
Well thanks for the help! It's still on there but I assume that it is a myspacetv problem! I had no idea where to put my hypster music selections so that really helped a lot!
And Again...
Love the Profile!!
hey rob i love your layouts i use them a lot and i was thinking you should make a custome codegen for use with swaping stuff out like backgrounds and such I LVOE YOUR LAYOUTS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
Thank you very much for this very minimalistic and simple layout. It's a rare gem that I'm glad to have stumbled upon.
Keep up the fight against fugly layouts,
-Phil
TO ALL:
OOOOOPS!
On Friday, I made a BIG blunder and accidentally deleted a whole bunch of comments (about 25 or 30) here on the feedback page. Today, using the Google cache of this page as a reference, I managed to manually restore most of those comments. However, any comments posted here between August 2nd and August 8th (inclusive) did not get restored --because the Google cache of this page only goes up to August 2nd-- and unfortunately those comments have been permanently deleted. Most humble apologies to those affected. My bad. This won't happen again as I'll be making regular backups of this blog from now on (he's a learner!)...
Hi! I just used one of your layouts - awesome!! Was wondering if you will be creating ones to use on our blogs... it would be nice if the two matched. Until then, can I have permission to at least use the background graphic?
Thanks!
Starzzie,
What's your MySpace URL? And if your profile is set on private, add me as a friend please so that I can see it.
http://www.myspace.com/ironspider_ca
SOrry about that... based on my question, I didn't think that you would need it. Here it is... and I've added you as a friend, so that I can remain 'private'
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...
Thanks again!!
Rob,
Thank you SO much for the wonderful DIV layout! I had no problem getting my page up. Many and I mean MANY of my friends have sent me private messages saying how much they love the simplicity.

Hi Rob...
Did you know that the 3 columns aren't in alignment when you view it in firefox?
My third column is still on the right hand side BUT it sits below the second column.
Can you please give me instructions to fix this.
Thankyou.
Stephanie,
I just checked your page in Firefox and everything is displaying normally. If you have any further problems, please read #8 on the FAQ page-
http://robthunder.com/faq.php
Yes you are right- that's weird! thanks anyway xx
Hey your page is awesome, thanks for making the layout public to us! One thing though, the layout with the 3 columns...when you click on "pics" does it usually show the albums? Because it goes straight to all the pics for me, and doesn't separate them in albums?
Robbbbb,
Sorry about that. I thought I fixed that a long time ago. Looks like I only fixed it for the plain black and plain white layouts. All 3 column layout codes have now been updated so that the 'View My Pics' link goes to your Albums instead of all your pics. To fix your page, run through the layout generator again, get some fresh code and replace your currently installed layout code with that.
Hey!
Love the layouts! I bought the license thingie to remove banners. I added some more links on the left and I realized just today that the links don' show up on the left in internet explorer. Everythings fine in Firefox. I don't need any custom code, just wondered if I did something that caused this. my url:
http://www.myspace.com/eddieandlaurallf
Laura,
You installed the code in the wrong place. You installed it in the About Me section instead of the "I'd Like to Meet" section. Cut-and-paste, that's CUT not COPY, everything from the About Me section and put it in your I'd Like to Meet section. Your About Me section should be completely empty.
Thanks so much!! At first that didn't work but then I changed the size of the photos and it fixed it. Thanks again!!
Laura,
Normally, oversized photos have the effect of pushing the Friend Space section down out of position. I've never seen it cause a misalignment of the entire layout. And I'm still seeing some strange behavior on your page where the layout occasionally gets misaligned to the left (which then has the effect of hiding the links in the left column on 1024 x 768 resolution). I strongly suspect that this has to do with 'hide music player' code you installed from another site. You should delete that code to ensure that there are no conflicts with my layout code. If you want to hide your music player, you should simply go to the 'Edit Profile' page and then click on 'Song & Video on Profile' and click on the 'Remove' button beside 'Profile Song'.
Hey Rob!!
As always...huge fan of your layouts. I recently paid to remove the tags and such. Anyways...my personal site is running fine. I have an alumni site that I run and the alumni requested I put a slide show on the page. I used slide.com to make the slideshow. The slideshow appears in IE but seems to be transparent in Firefox, which is what I use. Any suggestions?
Alumni Page:
http://www.myspace.com/stmartinalumni
I'm a dork..I just saw you responded again to a comment I had before about my personal page. Thanks for the tip. I can't believe I didn't know you could hide player in your myspace options. Thanks so much!!
Wow...I fixed my own problem!! By removing the non-affiliated code for removing music player the slideshow appeared. I didn't realize I had it on this page too. Thanks again!!
Hey thanks for the your great site. It looks like you really put a lot of time and effort into it.
I used your plain black generator everything looks great but now I get a page load error when i click on my links.
Any help would be appreciated

Jeff,
I'm not seeing any issues at all with your links. I was able to successfully view your pics, your blog and send you a friend request. It must have been a temporary MySpace glitch that you experienced. If you're still having problems, tell me exactly which link you clicked on and I'll check it out.
just tried it again and i still get the error when i click on view pics, home, view my blog.
Jeff,
That link you posted worked correctly for me. It took me to "Heather's Albums", e.g., My Photos, Greg and Alicia's Wedding, Yellow Snow, etc. (However I had to delete the link because it was spreading my page here.) But did you not get the friend request I sent? It went through okay on my end. There does not appear to be anything wrong with your layout installation. Try clearing your browser cache or viewing the page in a different web browser. Also what would be more helpful is if you posted the exact error message you're getting.
Hey Rob,
Thanks for your help. The problem is definitely not with your div. It's something on my end. The error it gives me is:
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
But check this out if i go to the page using an anonymous proxy it works fine, no error message. It seems to be specific to my ip. Weird huh?
Jeff,
Google "connection to the server was reset while the page was loading".
Also if the problem is specific to Firefox, try the about:config - ipv6 solution described on this page.
BE ADVISED - I DO NOT SPECIFICALLY ENDORSE THIS SOLUTION. I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY TRIED IT SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Other than that, humble apologies but you're pretty much on your own as this network problem you're having is typically beyond the scope of technical support I provide for Rob Thunder MySpace resources.
Hey Rob,
Your spaces are cool, and exactly the junk free, irritating color-free look I was hoping for.
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=83328589
Only 2 odd things - something is still showing behind my picture-I thought I had deleted everything in my profile, so I don't think that's it..
And, when you scroll all the way down,by my last comment, there is a weird popup that is there sometimes, but not all the time. Which, I'm sure, means that it won't be there when you look at it.
Anyway, thanks for any help you can give - if not, I totally understand that they are not huge issues, and I can still enjoy your work.
Thanks,
Kat
Kat,
Delete everything in your Schools section (Edit Profile >> Schools). These DIV layouts are not really compatible with having content in the schools section.
THEN...
Go to this page at my other site:
http://www.ironspider.ca/adv/myspace/install_layout.htm
...and follow the instructions on how to "CLEAR ALL STYLES CREATED BY THE MYSPACE.COM PROFILE EDITOR" (scroll about halfway down the page to find these instructions).
Do this and get back to me with the results please.
awesome overlays! just a quick question. in the screenshot of the dark layout, you have a youtube video in there. how would i place a youtube video in the same spot and also put pictures on my page? Thanks!
Ray,
Copy-and-paste the Youtube code or the image code directly into the text box in step 3 of the div layout generator (same place where you write your blurb).
sorry about the dumb question. the answer was on the layout generator. but here is a good one. how do i add pictures on the right colum below the friends list?
thanks for your time.
Ray,
Please read the long version of my post here on the feedback page (at the top of this page). Please also read the feedback page guidelines.
http://robthunder.com/feedback-page-guide.php
I was very pleased with the outcome of this layout! I appreciate actually being able to find a tasteful div layout without all the bands and goofy looking stuff all over it! I was updating a friend's profile and stumbled upon your site after 2 days of looking for good generators. I did have to tweak some things [i didnt take out the logo though, since you dont want us to] but it was simple enough since I have some [minimal] experience. I appreciate it!
thanks!
Any chance your three panel "Dark MySpace DIV Layout" will ever work right for a filmmaker profile?
The vids poke out of the top like so:
http://www.myspace.com/groundupfilms
Ground Up Films,
No these div layouts were not meant to be compatible with film profiles (nor are there any plans to make them compatible).
hi, I added u as a friend so u could see my profile. my url is http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=28034591
well my problem is that beside my profile pic there is a box that says Terms of Service Violation. I have no idea how to get rid of it. I read the instructions carefully unless i missed something...which prob happened...well just wondering how in the world i get rid of it. Thanx -karolyn-
Karolyn,
First of all, remove all your schools from your schools page. This has been known to cause conflicts with my DIV layouts.
Secondly, go to this page at my other site and follow all the instructions on how clear styles created by the MySpace Profile Editor.
Thirdly, delete your currently installed layout code and then come back here and get some new code. This time however, when you're entering stuff in Step 3 (your blurb) DON'T COPY AND PASTE from Microsoft Word or anything like that because special characters created by word processors may cause MySpace to have a hissy fit and make that Terms of Use Violation thing. It's best to type in your blurb manually. Or if you want to make a prewritten blurb, make sure you use Windows Notepad.
Hello-
I am using your genorator, and they all get coded fine - but they are more to the RIGHT than I would prefer. I tried tinkering wiht the margins, but it gets to be a mess, being that I am not a master of this.
Can you help me find where to move everything to the left?
Thanks :)
gia
Gia,
What's your MySpace URL?
I only have one problem and its not coding... all i need help with is for some reason next to my picture it says "Terms of service violation" I dont no what that meens or how it got there all i did was folow the steps and put the code in... How do i get ird of that???
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=81274994
Take a look for your self =)
please reply =)
Jake,
That usually happens when you post a pic on your profile using an incorrect URL. The correct URL to use for Photobucket or ImageShack is "direct link to image". From looking at your profile, it appears as if you tried to put two pics in the layout and the first pic had an incorrect URL. I just recently tested the layout code you're using on one of my test pages and it works fine. I didn't get any strange TOS violation notices. I recommend deleting your currently installed layout code, running through the layout generator again and reinstalling the new code. This time, make sure you have the correct URL for the image you wish to use in the layout and that you copy and paste that URL carefully into the layout generator so that it is complete and there are no stray characters.
man this DIV layout rocks!!!!! what a refreshing change from the same ol' tired out myspace backgrounds and layouts!!
100% awesome! Great Job
The outcome of your layouts are in fact, very pleasing.
I had tried so many layouts and they all really look the same as everyone elses so it got quite boring.
Though I came across your website and found the tutorials and the simplest ways to make such great layouts.
I just gotta say... they're brilliant!
Thankyou for taking the time to do things like this :)
Hey Rob. I must say, excellent work with the layouts. I love mine! http://myspace.com/stevelovessluts
Small issue I noticed, when I get on my roommates mac, safari moves the music player around. (Not where it should be.)
Perchance have a snippet I can put in there to keep it put?
Thanks, and I hope all is well. Looking forward to some new designs!
You rock, this is the best my site has looked in a long time, thanks again
Steve,
Yes I see... Thanks for telling me about this. I never noticed that. I'll try to have a fix ready by tomorrow. I'll post here again when all the layouts have been updated.
Steve,
Humble apologies for the delay. All Rob Thunder layouts have been fixed now to correct the positioning of the music player in Safari.
here is my link by the way....please help...it has the term of service violation by the default pic.........thx for ur help
http://www.myspace.com/feelingsareneverlasting
Thomas,
Those TOS violation images appear almost always as a result of using an incorrect image URL from Photobucket or ImageShack. Make sure you always input the 'DIRECT LINK TO IMAGE' URL when using my DIV layout generators. Run through the generator again and this time make sure you're using the 'DIRECT LINK TO IMAGE' URL.
This was awesome! Something happened tho..It added the about me section twice. So it looks kinda messed up..was wondering if you could take a look at it for me. http://www.myspace.com/crossthestreets
Cameron,
I don't see the effect you're describing. What web browser are you using? I checked it out in Internet Explorer and Firefox and it looks fine. The only thing wrong is you checked 'yes' for music player but you don't have a music player installed so your friends section is riding a little low. But other than that, I don't see any issues.
for some reason it looks like this -_-
http://www.myspace.com/472702939
Oken,
These DIV layouts are not compatible with MySpace 2.0 profiles. You'll have t switch your profile back to Profile 1.0 (if you can). Follow the instructions on this page at my other site to switch your profile back to Profile 1.0.
http://www.ironspider.ca/adv/myspace/install_layout.htm
Hey love the layouts! First timer to this site & like most of your layouts! I wish there was a plan white with music player tho :(.I have a question?
Do you mind if I change you text that you wrote such as 'Layout Credit'. I changed it to say Layout Credit Goes To-the your site link. Hope that doesn't bother you because all your credit is still given, even the corner link is there :)
Billy,
Yes that's fine. As long as the layout credit link and the corner link are still there.
http://www.myspace.com/mellygurl007
Sure doesn't look like the screenshot.
Melody-san,
These DIV layouts are not compatible with MySpace Profile 2.0. You have your profile set to Profile 2.0.
Hey I just bought your ebook and I'm gonna digest it before midnight wich will give me about 6-7 hours to get it under my belt. I'm looking forward to it and if all goes well you'll hear from me again soon.
Thanks thus far...

Hi robthunder,
I am considering ordering your guide but wanted to see some examples of what was possible using the guide so I scrolled through the comments and went to every available link and was suprised by the number of deleted profiles and the number of people who are not using the layouts. Do you have any links to pages created using your guide so I can be sure that I will be able to produce the page I am going for? Just one quick example is here. http://www.myspace.com/wearethefallen
I want to create the large banner up top and I love the changing graphics on this site. http://www.myspace.com/lemonmusic
Since I havent used your generator or guide yet I will withold my myspace page until I complete it. Thanks in advance.
Natalie
Natalie,
Here's an example of the kind of DIV layout my ebook shows you how to make:
http://www.myspace.com/robthunder_com
And just so you know, the weatherfallen MySpace page you gave as an example is NOT a DIV layout. That's just a regular MySpace layout with a custom banner running across the top. If you want to create a page like that, visit my other site:
http://www.ironspider.ca/adv/myspace/
...and purchase the Link Removal License / Super EZ Profile Tweaker package ($12).
Be advised that both my sites cater to classic MySpace 1.0 profiles. DIV layouts are complex and somewhat problematic with MySpace 2.0 profiles.
Thanks for the reply Rob. I actually found the info I was looking for last night and I am still trying to figure out the design to go with. I think you have a great site here that gives people a choice for simple myspace pages. Thanks again.
Natalie
Didn't work for me. D:
Not sure if it's because I use Google Chrome instead of IE, or because I have Myspace 2.0 - ohh well, I was excited for that awesome layout.
Arg, maybe you should put something on there to clearify in the future.
:)
Aubrie,
What's your MySpace URL?
GOSHH,THIS THING DOESNT WORK!!!!
THANK U,THIS THING REALLY WORKS!
Hi! I am currently trying to install one of the popular layouts on my friends page and it isn't working. I copy and pasted into the "who I'd like to meet" section and a pop up told me to go to "customize profile" then put it in the CSS section and that didn't work either... HELP!
This is a link to his page.

I don't know if this is considered custom code, but I've used your layouts on my 1.0 before and they're amazing. But I was wondering if you had ones for 2.0?
