Current Myspace Errors (Read before posting), UPDATED: July 13th, 2007 Options

[clarity]

Alright, So I've been noticing topics presenting a problem that is caused my a MySpace error. Kara (StanelyThePanda) and I had the Idea to make an error topic. In this topic you'll be able to find of the errors that you may find with MySpace. So please, if something is not right with your MySpace, please refer to this topic first before creating a new topic.

If this thread isn't updated as often as needed, and you don't see the problem you are having. Check here.

Current Errors as of April 23rd. 9:20 PM EST

Position:Absolute; :
Myspace has blocked the "Position: abosolute" in coding, and made it non-case sensitive. Follow the instructions below to learn how to get around this problem:

Seems like they added a filter for the position tags. You change it to "position : absolute"

Bulletins: This hasn't been affecting everyone, but for some people, recent bulletins are not showing up. MySpace has been currently working on bulletins over the weekend, so I'm pretty sure they're notified. I'm not sure when this will be fixed though.
From what I have herd, this has been fixed, although if your still having problems with bulletins its probably caused by the same error.

Online Sign: Your online sign maybe stretching out at the moment, but don't worry it's only a error and should be fixed soon.
Example:


Log-in Problems:
Lots of you have been creating topics about login problems. This includes not being able to log in, changing your email yet it still doesn't work, etc. We can not do much to help you here. All the log-in problems are caused by MySpace. Its an error that they happen to be taking a long time to fix. I highly suggest you contact them. Don't count on getting a reply, but it is worth a try. There is nothing we can do to help you here sadly. Hopefully the issue will be resolved as soon as possible.

Music Codes:
Due to the fact MySpace changes EMBED codes to a different code, these codes no longer work at the moment. Once they are changed, they are changed to a weird blue type player and can only be seen/herd in internet explorer. My best bet would be (if you don't want people know what music is playing on your profile) is to use the general MySpace Music Player and hide it, in which the code can be found here: http://www.createblog.com/scripts/download.php?id=513

Messages: You may be having problems with the messaging system right now. It's just a MySpace error and should be fixed soon.

Online now icons. The code to change you online now icon has been changed. Please refer to this page to find out the new code.

Adding a music player to your page: Myspace is currently facing an error which does not allow everyone to add new songs (from myspace music pages) to their page. So , all you can do is keep trying or read this thread.

Music Problems: Your music may not be playing properly, I don't know the cause of thi, and theres nothing you can really do, so wait it out.

Comment boxes: Myspace filtered the input tags. View This thread.

They should be working now. If you're still having problems refer to the link above.

msplinks.com/ - This isn't a Myspace error. This is a new security feature that they are using. If you have a layout with custom links they should adjust themselves. Don't worry, people will still be able to message and add you.

Myspace Ad Hidden: This seems to be a problem that lots of people are making topics about. A lot of the time it's nothing wrong with your code, but a myspace error.

Possible solutions:

It's nothing you're doing wrong. I've encountered this problem also while coding div overlays. It is specifically the z-index. Anything over 1, placed over the ad will cover it. If you start using 0 for your header image then the problem should be fixed. Although, when a flash ad banner appears, the ad always seems to overlap the header image (when I am coding). The ad fluctuates from time to time showing up and not.
