So to prevent sending spam comments myspace made so if you send a comment out with a url in it that redirects you will get an error message and then if you go back to you profile homepage there will be a message from Tom saying your account has been phished and you must change your password and if you try to send a comment out again you will get the same message again prevent anyone to send a comment out with a url that redirects. Anyone have any insite on the subject

**metaldragon** · 04-05-2007, 04:42 PM

are you using a custom redirect or a known redirect service?

**wordism** · 04-05-2007, 04:58 PM

errr... haven't experienced this?

**phpdevrus** · 04-05-2007, 07:04 PM

hmmm weird. i am not having any issue but i dont use any links that redirect.

i would suggest using your own redirect instead of a known one ;-)

This is not something brand new, i noticed this a few weeks ago when sending the same comment out from multiple accounts.

this also goes for bulletins as well.

**phpdevrus** · 04-05-2007, 07:28 PM

really? i sent out comments 2 days again fine from multiple accts.

>note. just test. you cant post any comments with links at all. lol it just takes you back to the main page.

**** going to have to seriously look into this.

**phpdevrus** · 04-05-2007, 08:18 PM

lmao anyone that uses comments, bulletins or msgs to do myspace marketing / promote products is going to be pissed.

it looks like it is dead to live links.

**wild wisconsin** · 04-05-2007, 09:38 PM

but normal links work still?
I just did a bulletin and it linked just fine..

**phpdevrus** · 04-05-2007, 10:06 PM

huh really?

please try a normal link in a comment and see if it works for you.

yup normal link worked.

is a redirecting link one where you go to website A but then when you
land there if FWD's you to website B??

**phpdevrus** · 04-05-2007, 10:35 PM

weird it didnt work for me at all even with a non-redirecting link.

**wild wisconsin** · 04-06-2007, 12:24 AM

I wonder if it's only like that for newer profiles??

what other variables could it be???

**imported_mikeb** · 04-06-2007, 01:42 AM

i've been posting comments and bulls all day, up to 9:45 pm pst and everything is fine.

**phpdevrus** · 04-06-2007, 01:45 AM

old or new account?

with normal or redirect links?

**mellymel** · 04-06-2007, 02:32 AM

i've been posting comments all day using a web-based redirect service and i'm fine.

**MonkeyBiz** · 04-06-2007, 04:38 AM

Gotta love those 301's when myspace get cranky

Anyway I've been having comment troubles for the past few days. Can't login, comments fail, ect. Faisl with links, without links. I dunno probably a glitch.

**mellymel** · 04-06-2007, 05:05 AM

anyone have a plan for if myspace DOES start blocking redirecting urls?

**thewupk** · 04-06-2007, 09:37 AM
