How to see hidden stuff on a myspace profile

Run into a profile that has things hidden?...Not to be confused with viewing a private profile, as the codes for viewing private myspace and facebook profiles are found in other posts in this blog. This post is merely to reveal hidden items on a profile.

People can have a myspace 1.0 public profile but use codes to hide certain areas of their profile--such as their comments and friends. Usually the firefox "no page style" method will reveal them. But now the "firefox no page style method" doesn't seem to work with hidden stuff on 2.0 myspace profiles. This is how to view them regardless..

Go directly to their friends page, comments page, etc.
--one simple way is to view your own info, then change the friend id in the address bar to theirs.

Here are some example urls you can run as well..insert their friend id in place of
x's

For hidden comments:
comment.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewComments&friendID=xxxx
For hidden friends:
friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends&friendID=xxxxx

note: This does NOT reveal info on private profiles..unless you are on their friends list.

The above method is also similar to how you can view parts of profiles without going to the actual profile; thus preventing myspace profile view counter hits. Also, it can help prevent getting tracked by avoiding their main page..but of course some people have trackers embedded in many areas of their profile so you could get tracked by just viewing their comments, pictures, blogs etc if there is a tracker in there. I have a tip to help prevent getting tracked..it's in another one of my posts on this blog. Make sure you are always blocking trackers and/or use a proxy.
