Everyone says that you have to change you age to 14 to have a private profile. I am 15 and just got a myspace. I setted it to only friends. Will it stay this way when I get older? For example, when Im 20, will it still stay private and only allow my friends to view my profile? Im confused!
Also, I heard that the privacy settings dont work and pedophiles can still get around it. Is this true? Did anything happen to your myspace with this privacy thing?
MYSPACE privacy settings?!?!?!?
If you are 15... it does on default, no matter if you have it on private or not. But since you specifically put in that you wanted it private, so it should still work. But when you turn 16 it changes the age automatically, so just kinda check it, log out and type in the URL to your site in your web browser, and if it doesn't work, just reset it. (Go back and follow the steps I have you earlier, for myspace in order to set it to private)
About the pedophile thing. Just watch what you type on myspace, don't type in you last name, on the NAME section of "edit profile" and if you put your e-mail in than just watch you e-mail, if you get any one that you don't know, don't open it, they could install a trojan in which they can see EVERY thing you type, every IM, every e-mail, everything. So just take basic safety precautions and unless their REALLY persistant, you should be fine. Just one thing you should look for, is if you see ANYTHING weird on your myspace, like changes that you didn't make, anything at all, whether its just a space where you didn't put it, anything... delete it and start over, if they do hit your myspace, they'll usually leave something un-noticiable, and it will just be a virus, like on my myspace.. I have a different name on mine, thats not me, well last name. So just watch out. It could happen to anyone, but if your careful, and take precautions, you should be fine unless they really REALLY really want to find out stuff about you.
hope that helps

i think you can change it any time you feel like it
MYSPACE privacy settings?!?!?!?
it will stay private as long as you keep it that way... as for pedophiles, just stay away from strange people on myspace...
MYSPACE privacy settings?!?!?!?
Just go to privacy settings and set to only friends can view your profile. Don't worry, just don't post your address and if you get emails on your myspace from people that aren't your friends or are weird people, don't add them and don't respond.

It will stay that way until you change it. Just go to edit profile and you can change it to public to where everyone can see it.
