Is there a way to stop myspace layout codes from loading on a friends page?
If you have firefox you can click on ‘view’ and then ‘page style’ and then ‘no page style’. It will show you the plain page without the layout so it should show the contact box. Also, go to your own profile and click on your contact box for whatever you are trying to do, like ‘add friend’. Then when the next window opens change the friend id at the end of the address bar from your friend id to his. Then hit enter and it will bring up the page to confirm adding that person as your friend. Same thing for blocking, messaging, etc. Click on your own link in your contact box and then replace your friend id with theirs.
