I use the myspace hack myself and do think that it's a big step forward from vb's profiles.
The downsides of the Myspace profile hack:
- It's nice for those members with good html/CSS knowledge, but for boards that have few such members it's not very handy IMHO.
- One needs to install a lot of additional hacks.
- Not all these hacks are updated. Some are still in beta phase. Many are meant for vb 3.5.
- vBjournal is not compatible with recent mySQL or PHP versions.
- Many interesting hacks have been dropped from the myspace profile hack.
Chicago_VLNU_4s must have older versions of php and mySQL to have this working.
