Does the trick quite nicely. However, it seems to disable the content of application boxes on homepages and profiles in addition to the ads.

DUDE! How do I actually get the code now?!

I have been using this script while viewing people's pics, and it works just fine. I do not notice any page zaps or missing pictures at all. If it is happening to you, please properly follow the instructions here and send me a message on MySpace. I do not even remotely frequent these comments here for bug reports of any kind. If it does appear to be a bug in the script code, I may need you to email me the source code of an affected page in order to assess the problem.

To make this work with the new myspace stuff, I added the following with the rest of the remove statements:

remove = document.getElementById('tkn_leaderboardDiv');
if (remove) destroy(remove);

This takes out the large ad at the top.

Then commented out the resizing stuff from line 96 through 129.

This seems to be quite sufficient for a quick fix, hopefully adrian will do a real update soon.

Please update this to make it work with the new MySpace layout. I barely use MySpace, but whenever I do, I get annoyed by the amount of ads there. Thanks.

 
Dink Scriptwright

Is this script going to be updated to work with the new MySpace changes??
I really hope so...
It is a good script...terrible that MySpace broke it!!!

 
Dink Scriptwright

Disregard that last comment....thought I had it fixed, but it screwed up on me again!!!...AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

 
Dink Scriptwright

I just fixed my annoyance that relates to the search bar on my homepage by using another script...Myspace Ad Remover 2.0

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3719

Changed the color code in that script to "001" to match the color of my page theme...see the results here...

I think the annoyance that Donyelle is referring to is the same thing with the search bar that I have a problem with when viewing my homepage....the search bar does not get moved to the very top of the page after the ad is removed...this script does remove the ads and I have adblock plus disabled on my homepage so other features are available....no other myspace scripts that I am running change it if they are enabled or disabled.....see the link.

Donyelle: This script doesn't affect any ads or the search bar that might appear on the splash page, mainly because of its erratic layout. If you must do a search on myspace without logging in, just go directly to the search page: http://search.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=...

 
Donyelle User

The Search bar shows on the splash page.

This is great :) Yeah, was testing the issues with the chat like someone posted, but anyone who chats on myspace isn't the type of person who would likely utilize the script anyway.

Great job :) I'll probably write about this on my blog, http://www.nickjag.com , since it really helps marketers (not just users) to swift through the site without running into the annoying ads.

Although, I have to say (sadly lol) I used to enjoy the ads where you get to punch the monkey.

 
GonZo Jenny User

is there anyway to make this NOT block up the advanced blog editor in myspace?

 
Wtf_kidd User

How do i install this?

 
KORSH User

Works really great. I love it.
Works well and exactly as advertised. Thanks!
Has established to itself on a website http://www.laptop-enews.com and it is very happy.

 
Salvador User

when i try to upload a song on my music profile the upload screen does not show up

Awesome. But I found a problem on the myspace.com page (not the user home page) where the Home <-> Classifieds link bar jumps up and overlaps the search bar, search drop down and search button. Very weird looking.

@RC87
Although I doubt you'll read this any time soon, you could add the Myspace chat page url to the 'Excluded Pages' in that script's options under Manage User Scripts... That way the script always stays on.

Everytime I go into a group page, it comes up really weird. Like blank! All I see is the google thing, the navbar and the bottom links. Nothing but gray in between!

 
RC87 User

ahh, okay, nevermind. That script I listed below sucks, yours is better. so forget the previous entry. And anyways,I could just disable Greasemonkey when I want to use the chatroom and then enable any other time. lol. sorry about that.

 
RC87 User

by the way this script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3719) does whats yours does but without "erasing" the myspace chat page. So I have s substitute, but you still might want to fix that.

 
RC87 User

hey Adrian, your script is awesome. But one thing, it doesn't let people go to the myspace chatroom homepage. If you could do something about that, that would be great:). thanks.

 
Adrian Script's Author

Sorry for all of you who are having issues with this script. MySpace has been undergoing many nasty advertisement changes over the past few weeks, and I am waiting for it to become slightly more stable before making any major changes to the script.

Most problems end up fixing themselves after a day or two. If you have a problem with a certain page, then I suggest copying the url (up to the "mytoken" part) and adding it to the exclude list for the time being until the problem is resolved.

Some other known problems are:
It only works correctly with the US version of MySpace (on an international version, the link may cover up the signout link).
The new links on the top right of the top bar may cover up some search options.

If you see a problem that persists for over a week, please send me a message on MySpace.
