What DOESN’T work

What is this?

New Myspace Layouts is a new source for Myspace 2.0 layouts, which is only avaliable on Myspace Canada at the moment. The USA release is tenative.

Why do I care?

Myspace’s 2.0 Profile gives us (fancy designers) a heck of a lot more flexibility, which means we can make better and way more awesome, not to mention way more customizable, which means you get to have a more rockin’ day.

How to Fake-Canadian

We aren’t saying it’s a solid idea, but all you really need to do is logout of your myspace, go to http://ca.myspace.com and log in. Then proceed to click “Profile 2.0 Alpha” at the top.

Don't Say we didn't warn you

Activiating Profile 2.0 will break you old profile design, and we’re not entirely sure you can switch back after you joined the party. Profile 2.0 is VERY buggy until el Tom makes it nice and sparkly.

So far the list shows…

Any form of linking stylesheets seems to break, linking or @import.
There’s still no support for Javascript (I believe this is a Terms of Use issue to avoid exploits though)
Although the CSS box in advanced theming operates well, inputting HTML in the normal “About Me” and “Interests” is still buggy and requires workarounds, though obviously, you no longer need to input your css in there anymore.

How do you get images placed in the About Me section to be the correct size? So far all of the images and stuff that I have in the About Me section fill the width of the module and aren’t the correct size. I’d really like to fix this.
