contact table buttons, hide contact table

So you heard from friends that is cool to hide your contact table but you do not know what exactly is that and why you would want to hide it.

The contact table is the box under your picture that says “Send message”, “Add to friends”, etc. People hide their contact box so that they can replace it with customized individual buttons. All this procedure is very complex so let’s take it step by step first let’s learn how to hide myspace contact table and than how to replace the contact table buttons with customized ones.

1. Hide contact box on myspace

1. Search on Google “hide contact table code” or “hide contact tables”.
2. Find the site that offers what you need, copy the code they provide and paste it where they tell you to paste it.

Here is a code  I just found and used to hide my contact table on myspace, put this code at the top of your “Meet” section.

<style>
table.contactTable {display:none;}
</style>

Here is another code, try them both, separately of course, they both work, but depends on your layout. Put this one in the “About me” section.

<style type=”text/css”>.contacttable {display:none;visibility:hidden;}</style>
<div style=”position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;z-index:9 !important;background-color:transparent !important;”>

2. Find out your FriendID

It is important for the third step, for using customized contact table buttons and not only. A lot of tools for MySpace require you to know your FriendID.

Go home then view your profile. Look at the very top of your browser then copy your own FRIEND ID numbers in your URL (after the “friendid=”) Below it is a screenshot of the URL found in Tom’s blog, and guess what that is TOM’s ID. This is how you find someone’s’ ID, to find yours be sure you are in your profile, or one of your profile pages.

3.  Contact table buttons

Ok. So now that you used the code to hide contact box that you found on Google it is time to replace it with something else, cute, tiny, nice contact table buttons.

Of course step one is to search on Google what you want to find for instance “pink contact table buttons” browse different sites, see the buttons that you like and when you are ready follow their instructions. You will notice that they will ask for your FriendID, you already know it.

You can use different contact table buttons designs from different sites, there is not a problem there.

Good luck!

4. Bonus Information

And now a bonus information: If you go to a profile and that person used a code to hide  contact table you can still “Send message”, “Add to friends”, “Add to Group”, “Forward to friend”, “Add to favorites”, “Block user”.  Let me explain you why people can still view hidden things on MySpace. because you only hid them visually, you did not make them private technically. Let me explain you know how people view your friends even if you did hide them.

- First of all they have to know your ID. When browsing through your MySpace profile they have to take a look in the address bar and look for something like: “friendid=” followed by a number.
-Secondly they have to use the links below and add your ID to them.
Send message:

http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.message&friendID=

Add to friends:

http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendID=

Add to Group:

http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.addtogroup&friendID=

Forward to friend:

http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.forward&f=forwardprofile&friendID=

Add to favorites:

http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.addToFavorite&friendID=

Block user:

http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=block.blockUser&userID=

So if your MySpace ID is let’s say 8393749 to add to friends you should paste in your address bar:
http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendID=8393749 and voila
