Please someone tell me what to do about this.
MySpace has gone off the deep-end worrying about
phishing,I guess to protect them from lawsuits,
in the meantime,I cannot make links on my profile
clickable,they are re-directed.

Their frigging anti-phishing filter is driving me batty.
All I want to do is hyperlink my home pages and forums
that I post on,and,I even tried using tinyurl.com
and making shorter links,and it dircted people to
a place and declared THIS about me:

The link you are trying to visit has been disabled.

You have reached a link that is no longer in service. That means the link was very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread.

You may be asking yourself, ‘Hey, what was it about that link that got it in trouble?’ An excellent question! Usually, it’s one of the following reasons:

- The link was spam! No one likes spammers, and we don’t like their links.

- You almost got phished! There are people out there who want to steal your MySpace password. They want to log in as you and send spam, harass your friends, change your profile, and generally run amok. Phishing pages are usually designed to look like MySpace to trick you. Other sites may also ask for your MySpace login information to customize your profile, insert videos or slide shows, track visitors, or any number of other things.Don’t make it easy for them. ONLY USE YOUR MYSPACE LOGIN INFO ON http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM!!

- Viruses are not fun! Neither is adware, spyware, or malware. We cut the links to places that are known sources of infection.

If you really did want to check out some spam, viruses, or phishing pages, we’re really sorry to have interrupted. We’re sure you can find it elsewhere. There’s plenty on the Internet

This is BullSh*t~!
There HAS to be a way around their bogus phishing filter

I have hacked the flash filter in a sense. http://www.myspace.com/thedamian. check it. It’s done by relatively positioning transpartent div’s over the swf.file. Then use a clear gif. for the link. It’s teadious and only works in IE6+ ,but possible. If you view source on my page you will see div1a through div1h or something. That should help.

Well this is definately the first step to the ultimate downfall of myspace. I have been along for the ride for a long time now and originaly fell in love with the site as a flash designer it gave me that challenge of creating custom profiles in flash and incorporating features of another website into said profiles. When they shutdown the javascript I said ok, understandable. But killing all flash links is going to far, not only that but it seems quite obvious to me this has less to do with security for users and more to do with shutting out third party widget developers. Well actualy the people who turn out those useless ass ugly as sin widgets aren’t gonna have to much problem since they can include a simple html link with their code or an clear gif overlay link. The people who are really getting screwed over are people like me, joe public user who spent an ass load of time designing a custom myspce profile and now has to completely redesign it and find ways to redo over 50 links (95% of which were on the myspace domain) in html.

Tom, FOX network and all you other a-holes please listen when I say that killing flash links will not stop phishing on your site. Furthemore there has been so many warning and public awareness campaings about phising that anyone who is stupid enough to just enter their username and password into an unexpected login page without checking the browser url probably doesn’t deserve to be on the internet anyway!

Lets be honest, this so called ‘viral phising attack’ depends on one thing to spread, user stupidy.

I think it is only a matter of time before we see the uprising of some “rebel” myspace were users like myself who are interester in design and control of our profiles will migrate over to where we are given the freedom to express ourselves .SWF style.

[...] any workaround that would allow me to use external links in my flash on myspace. I found this page: Myspace Flash Filter Hacked at joyboner.com . But that didn’t work for me and I assume that, that workaround has been fixed as the guy hinted [...]

I was wondering how you can put a pic on the right side of your profile page. For ex. If you see my space, you’ll notice the smaller pics only lay to the left only. Bigger pics are redundant of course. Any help?

Thanks a heap!! Nemesis
