i’ll try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible by posting filters for any virus, worm, or anything else that might ruin your day. so check back to see if there’s any new threats.
Yay for De-crapification!
Hi there!
I have the comments on my homepage, and after putting in those filters, it is showing all 50 of my comments, basically the scroll box goes all the way to the bottom, got any idea what this could be? I have since removed the filters and it is still doing it.
Thanks in advance
Got it figured out! thanks for your help in the forum! Adblock plus did the trick!
thank you!
HIGH FIVE!!!!!
awesome stuff. great helpful tutorials!
bahahahahaha.
herpes gonna pay someone a visit in his icecream van.
yo thanks for the info!!!!!
no worries mate!
I loaded both the homepage and these scripts. Now, everytime I load my homepage or reload it, the “profile views” go up? So if I reload my homepage 20 times, it’ll increase by 20 (sometimes it’ll take a while). Is this a myspace thing or a bug in one of the scripts?
it has nothing to do with these filters above, or the custom homepages.. it’s the comments on homepage script that increases your views. there’s no way around it other than un-installing it because the script has to grab your comments from your profile.. and in order to do that, it has to view it everytime.
Heh feel kinda stupid but since it turned myspace dutch *aka 1st tip* i cant figure out how to turn it back into english
It’s telling me invalid url for the red filters.
Nevermind, now the 2nd and 3rd green filters. Because there’s no “http://”.
you just have to ignore the warning that pops up by clicking ok. it’s giving you the warning because they are regular expressions.. not urls.

sorry joe.. but i don’t want people blocking my ads! then i won’t make my 2 dollars a day.. haha
ohhh, oops didnt think about that hahaha, sorry herpe
That list entirely owns. I tried what you did a while ago but I had d*myspace.com and it was hiding the music player so I took it off. Oh, and thanks for free computer security too.
Get the Flashblock extension too. Pages load tons faster and you can pick and choose which flash to watch with one click

thankz for this info!
ahhh just reformatted me laptop. first thing i did was come here hahaa
Thank you so much for this entry! My page is much more usable now. The div stuff didn’t work for me in the format you had it, but with my version of adblock plus, the following did work:
http://home.myspace.com/*#DIV(home_additionalLinks)
http://home.myspace.com/*#DIV(home_schools)
http://home.myspace.com/*#DIV(home_userURLInfo)
http://home.myspace.com/*#DIV(splash_coolNewPeople)
Wow! It’s astonishing how much faster everything loads now! Thanks!
Whoa - I’m glad I checked back for updates. Those element hiding rules are a miracle.
