Interesting functions of VK. Secrets of VKontakte or something about social networks


Switch language

You can change the language. The choice is large: Russian, English, German and others. But there are also more exotic/fun ones. For example, Pre-Revolutionary or Belarusian. Try it yourself. At the top right, click on your profile and select Settings. Language – Change. And there you can choose whatever you want from a large list. We recommend trying Pre-Revolutionary.

Leave the field empty

There is an option to fill out your profile in the Career section, but leave most of the fields blank. To do this, go to Edit Profile. Then in all lines (Career section) we insert a set of characters:

Confidentiality

In order to prevent people from finding you by your phone number on VKontakte, you need to go to Settings - Privacy - Contact me. There, in the line: “Who can find me when importing contacts at +37529******,” select “Only me.”

Disabling advertising

Are you probably annoyed by intrusive advertising on VKontakte? It is time to turn it off once and for all. Just download and install the Adblock plus extension for Firefox or Chrome. Activate all filters by default, and advertising will disappear not only on VKontakte, but also on other sites. How nice and calm it is to read the news without advertising. Thank you Adblock.

Listening to music

There is a lot of music on VKontakte. Lots of good music. New items appear here quickly. But we want to listen to it not only on the website, but also on a smartphone, in a car, and without the Internet at all. No problem. We go to a special website, it will ask you for authorization, allow it and start downloading! Enter the song you are interested in into the search and go!

Changing the design

Do you want to freshen up your page design a little? Or are you a little tired of the classic VKontakte design? Nothing could be simpler. You can change the theme of the site at your discretion. Only you will see this design. To do this, you need to go to the site and install the extension for Chrome/Firefox. Then, on the website, select the theme you like and click “Apply”. This is what we end up with:

News updates

In “News” you can sometimes get a lot of necessary and not so necessary information. How about looking at the list of people your friends have added today? Click the News section, then Updates on the side. Voila! Now we can see specifically who your friends have added to their friends list.

Privacy

If you are a very private person and value privacy, you can hide your page completely. Users will only be able to see your main photo. To do this, let's go to Settings - Privacy. Next, select “Who sees the basic information of my page”, check “Only Me”. Ready!

Lock

If you need to completely hide from one person, just block him. Go to his Profile and select – Block. Now he will not be able to write to you, see your photos, friends and information about you.

Hiding friends

By default, all VKontakte users can see all your friends. For some it is convenient, for others it is not. VKontakte stands for openness. We will stand up for confidentiality. It is possible to hide certain (but not all) friends. To do this, go to Settings - Privacy. There, click on the item “Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions”, select “Show all friends except”. Select the friends you want to hide. Ready!

Delayed publication

To publish a note or photo on your page at a certain time, there is a useful function - Delayed publication. It's easy to launch. Go to the message writing interface, then click “More” - “Timer”. There we select the date and time of publication of the message.

Safety

If you suspect that someone is following you and secretly logging into your account, it won’t be difficult to check. Go to the Settings section - Security - Show activity history. There you will see the IP address, country, time and type of device from which you logged into VKontakte the last few times. Clear and accessible. If you see some strange IP addresses from other countries, but you yourself are in Belarus, this is a reason to think about it and change your passwords.

Free votes

There we will be offered to play various online games, reach a certain level and receive our free votes. Why not?

Mention

If you want to mention someone in your wall post, you can do this in a similar way to Twitter, use @. For example, like this: @Petrov

Changing the page address

Secrets of VKontakte (vkontakte.ru): 1. Viewing closed pages (profiles)

This is one of the most desired secrets. Well, who hasn’t at least once dreamed of looking at photos of a gorgeous stranger without adding her as a friend? What if access to her page is closed? There is an exit! So, the secret is quite simple. A necessary condition is the openness of the photo album, videos, audio recordings, notes, etc. First you need to find out the user ID. How to find out your VKontakte ID? Very simple! ID is the number that goes in the URL after “http://vkontakte.ru/id”. For example, Pavel Durov has ID 1. If instead of a number there is a nickname, then simply point to the “Add as a friend” link and a hint should appear in the lower left corner of your browser (where this link leads). There you will find the user id. Once you have found out the ID, all that remains is to substitute it in the desired URL. Below is a list of “secret” URLs for accessing various user sections. Instead of “*”, substitute the ID of the user you need.

Posts on the wall:
http://vkontakte.ru/wall.php?id=*

Photo albums:
http://vkontakte.ru/photos.php?id=*

Videos:
http://vkontakte.ru/video.php?id=*

Audio recordings:
http://vkontakte.ru/audio.php?id=*

Notes:
http://vkontakte.ru/notes.php?id=*

Groups:
http://vkontakte.ru/groups.php?id=*

Secrets of VKontakte: 2. Special characters for VKontakte

You've probably noticed that some users have cool unusual features in their name, status, or simply in their profile. symbols. Naturally, they cannot be entered from the keyboard, but the secret is simple. These characters are called special characters and are entered using HTML code. Find out which code is for which VKontakte symbol needed is possible . At this address you will find almost all codes for VKontakte.

Secrets of VKontakte: 3. Losing the name (how to remove the first and last name)

Many would like to be incognito both in life and on VKontakte. You see everything, you know everything, but no one knows about you. It's possible! You can easily create an account without a name. A secret with one small drawback - first you will need to register again.

  1. We register again on VKontakte. Fill in all fields except “First Name” and “Last Name”.
  2. Copy the code into the address bar of the browser: javascript: this.disabled=true; document.regMe.submit();
  3. Press “Enter” or the “Go” button in the browser.
  4. Ready! You are registered without a first and last name!

Secrets of VKontakte: 4. Become invisible

Another way to get closer to the invisible man. Thanks to this secret, you will be able to browse the pages of the social network, and other users will think that you are offline. But you cannot visit the “profile.php” page, i.e. your profile and the main profile pages of other users. There are 3 ways, or rather a secret:

Secret #1 (only for Firefox)

  1. Enter “about:config” into the Firefox address bar. Browser settings will appear.
  2. We need to temporarily disable forwarding. To do this, enter “network.http.redirection-limit” in the “Filter” field and change its value to 0. For me, by default it was 20.
  3. Open a new tab and go to the page http://vkontakte.ru/login.php and enter your login and password.
  4. An error message appears. Don't worry, that's how it should be.
  5. Go to any other VKontakte page (except “profile.php”).
  6. We return to the settings tab and change the “network.http.redirection-limit” parameter back to what it was by default.

Secret No. 2 (only suitable for Opera)

  1. Go to “Tools” > “Settings” > “Advanced” > “Network”.
  2. Uncheck the “Enable automatic redirection” checkbox.
  3. We repeat the steps for the Firefox browser, starting from point 3.

Secret #3 (simple, but takes time)

  1. Go to the “Private Messages” section
  2. We wait 15 minutes (timeout for connecting to VKontakte).
  3. All is ready. You can navigate through social network pages except “profile.php”.

Secret No. 4

The same can be done using the Vk A-Vision program. We will talk about programs for VKontakte in one of the following posts. Definitely not to miss.

Secrets of VKontakte: 5. How to marry yourself

There is no particular benefit to this secret, but you still want to stand out in front of your friends. Marrying yourself is quite simple. First, I’ll explain how it does this in the Opera browser. Go to your profile editing page (http://vkontakte.ru/profileedit.php) and open the source code of this page. look for the code for the dropdown list and add yourself at the very end . Click “Apply Changes” and select yourself on the editing page. After that all that remains is to save the profile. The same operation can be done in the Firefiox browser, but for this you need to install the Firebug plugin.

Secrets of VKontakte: 6. Tag all friends in the video

Manually tagging friends in a video is time-consuming and painful. It's easier to do this using the following secret. It contains only 4 steps:

  1. We go to the page with the desired video.
  2. Click “Mark”.
  3. Paste the script into the address bar of the browser: “javascript:for(blabla=0;blabla<5000;blabla++){ var elem = document.getElementById("f"+blabla); if(elem == null) break; elem.onclick(); }».
  4. Press "Enter".

In my opinion, it’s an absolutely useless thing, but it might still be useful to someone. First, you need to make sure that at the top of your page it says “The information on this page may not be accurate.” How to do it? Just. Create a page for a star, post a couple of photos of Marilyn Monroe and sign that it’s you. The profile must be filled out 100% - this is a mandatory condition. Otherwise the secret won't work. Then unsubscribe in one of the groups that has moderators. As soon as you receive the long-awaited message “The information on this page may not be true.” start removing information from the page. For example, if you delete an avatar the rating will become -30%.

I’ll also tell you what the rating is made up of and how to increase it to the maximum level. So, how to increase VKontakte rating and filling out which fields on the social network affects it:

Percentage: Photography – 25%
Personal information (hobbies) – up to 20%, tricky depending on how filled
University – 5%
School with all the data…. - 20%
Career – 10%
About Me:
— 10%
– gender – 2%
– marital status – 2%
– date of birth (in full) – 2%
– hometown – 2%
— political views – 1%
– religious views – 1%)
Places – 10%
(1st place – 1%, if up to 10 pieces)
Contact information – 10%
mobile phone – 4%
ICQ – 4%
home phone – 2%)

Secrets of VKontakte: 8. Change language

With this simple secret you can play a great prank on your friend. The point is this: when you click on the link http://vkontakte.ru/?lang=digit, the language changes from Russian to the one whose number you indicated. Russian language - 0. And then experiment! Don't forget to write a good inviting text. For example: “http://vkontakte.ru/?lang=10 - special New Year's Version of Vkontakte! Come in - you won’t regret it!”

Secrets of VKontakte: 9. Canceling a friend request

Sometimes this happens: you added a person as a friend, and then changed your mind. It doesn’t matter, the application can be deleted, or rather cancelled. Enter http://vkontakte.ru/friend.php?act=remove&id=* into the address bar of your browser, where * is the ID of the unwanted friend. After this, a message will appear: “Are you sure you want to remove Friend’s First Name, Friend’s Last Name from your list of friends?” Feel free to click “Yes”.

Secrets of VKontakte: 10. Status on several lines

Like other secrets, this one is quite simple. The only condition is that we need the Opera browser. Open your profile page and go to source code viewing mode. Find the following piece of code:

« »

We replace it with:

« »

We save the result. Now you can write VKontakte status in several lines.

Secrets of VKontakte: 11. Insert music into a VKontakte note

Actually a very useful feature. If you store a huge number of tracks, you can create some kind of playlists using notes. 5 steps await us. Let's get started.

  1. We find the song we need. This can be done at vkontakte.ru/audio.php.
  2. Next to the song there is an "Add" link. Let's copy it. You can do this in the following way: open it in a new window and immediately stop the page from loading. I got this link: audio.php?act=add&add=1&gid=0&aid=47083679&oid=-4536434&hash=5ba68fca77ce808a3947297722874e55
  3. Copy from this link the numbers that come after &oid= and &aid=.
  4. We insert these numbers into [“]”, where * is the number after &oid, ** is the number after &aid.
  5. Paste the resulting tag into the note. I managed []. Everything is working.

Secrets of VKontakte: 12. Secrets of VKontakte graffiti

Have you often wondered how some users get great graffiti? The secrets are as always simple and lie on the surface.

  1. To draw straight horizontal and vertical lines, you need to switch the mouse control to an additional keyboard. This can be done simply by using the combination Shift+Alt+NumLock.
  2. Working with scale will help you draw fine details better. You can zoom in in the browser, or you can use the standard Windows function - “Screen Magnifier”. To enable it, go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > Screen Magnifier.

Secrets of VKontakte: 13. If you are blocked from VKontakte

This secret will be especially useful to you if you have a VKontakte was blocked. As always, there is a way out. Even VKontakte is blocked You can still access the social network, and in two different ways. The fastest and easiest way is to log in through an anonymizer. Some anonymizers may also be blocked, but I think from the proposed list in one of the search engines there will definitely be one working one.

A problem with blocked "Vkontakte" solved.

It’s worth mentioning right away that this secret doesn’t always work. But you can try. So to find out the author of an anonymous opinion on VKontakte required:

In the “Offers” section, create a new offer. Try to come up with something interesting.
After that, enable “Suggestions” in the “My Settings” section.
We send the following link to the author of the opinion http://vkontakte.ru/matches.php?act=a_sent&to_id= *** &dec=1, where *** is your VKontakte ID. I already wrote above how to find out the ID. The link must be “complete” with interesting text so that the anonymous person clicks on it.

Secrets of VKontakte: 15. How to view private photos on VKontakte

This is a fresh secret that became known after the New Year. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

  • We enable the newly created function - “Accelerated photo viewing mode”.
  • Go to the “Photos in which the user is tagged” section (it needs to be open). Usually most of the photos there are closed for viewing.
  • We select a photo that is open and then use the arrows or click on the photo to view the album as usual. All private photos will be visible to you.

This VKontakte secret works thanks to the new “Accelerated Photo Viewing Mode” function, which is implemented a little crookedly.

If you know any other secrets of VKontakte, do not hesitate to write to me in private messages on VKontakte. They will then be added to this post. Secret information about vkontakte.ru will also not hurt.

If the material is copied in full or in part, an active link to this article is required.

In one of the following posts I will talk about useful and cool programs for VKontakte. so as not to miss.

There is a lot of interesting things ahead! Subscribe to updates via or.

Secrets and loopholes are constantly being closed, so hurry up and take advantage before the shop is closed. PP No. 10 no longer works in my opinion.

1) View photos/videos/groups on a closed page
You can view photos from closed pages if only the user's page is closed. That is, if he went to settings and in the “ Privacy” only prohibited viewing his page, but not photos and videos.

To view photos/videos/groups on a closed page you must:

1. To use this tip, first find out the ID of the person whose photos/videos/groups you would like to view. To do this, find him on the resource and hover over the “Message” link to the right of this person’s avatar. Even if the page is hidden, when you hover the cursor in the browser status bar (bottom of the screen), a link containing the user ID will be displayed. The link will be of the following type: “http://vkontakte.ru/mail.php?act=write&to=27026? The last few digits are the required ID.

2. To view the user’s photo albums (provided that he/she has hidden only the page, and not the photos themselves), you need to insert the link “http://vkontakte.ru/photos.php?id=ID” into the browser line ( where the site address is) and instead of “ID” enter the user number. Press “Enter” or the “Go” button in the browser.

3. To view “Photos of me” on a hidden page (provided that only the page is hidden, and not the photos themselves), insert the link “http://vkontakte.ru/photos.php?act=user&id=ID”... Further chain actions described above.

4. To view “Videos with me” on a hidden page, insert a link
“http://vkontakte.ru/video.php?act=tagview&id=ID” and follow the already familiar algorithm.

The “Enter” key should be pressed only after you have replaced the ID in the links above with the unique number of the person whose photo you would like to see.

2) Tag all friends in the photo

1.It's quite simple - you just need to upload photos to your page. After that, go to the page of the photo in which you want to tag your friends and then click “Tag”.

2. The next step is to paste the code below into the address bar of your browser. You just need to insert it exactly on the page where you clicked the “Mark” button. You need to insert this code:

javascript:(function())(function getPhotoInfo())(if(res = /(+)_(\d+)/.exec(location.href))return ("mid": res, "pid": res);else return ("mid": 0, "pid": 0);)p_mark = function(i)(if(i >= window.friends.length)(ge('rotating').innerHTML = “

All friends have been marked on this photo!

”;clearTimeout(timerID);return;)request_uri = “/photos.php?act=put&pid=”+mid+”_”+pid+”&id=”+mid+”&oid=0&subject=”+window.friends[i]. id+”&name=”+encodeURI(window.friends[i].name)+”&add=1&x=0&y=0&x2=100&y2=100?;img = new Image();img.src = request_uri;ge('commentArea' ).innerHTML = (i+1) + ” of ” + window.friends.length + ” friends have been marked!”;timerID = setTimeout(”p_mark(” + (i+1) + “)”, 500); );p_markall = function())(if(!confirm(”Are you sure want to mark all friends?\r\n\r\n\r\nBugs & Thanks: http://vkontakte.ru/note8009721?oid= 5500005?)) return;ge('rotating').innerHTML = “

Processing
Please wait…

”;ajax = new Ajax(function(a,r)(eval(r);window.friends = fr; p_mark(0);), function(a,r)(alert(”Request problem. Try again”); ));ajax.get(”/photos.php?act=get”););if(!(location.href.match(/vkontakte.ru/) && location.href.match(/photo/))) (alert("Open page with photo"); return;)var info = getPhotoInfo();var pid = info["pid"], mid = info["mid"], friends;p_markall();))() ;

3. Press “Enter” and wait for all friends to check in. Approximately 100 friends are tagged in one hundred seconds at a speed of 1 Megabit per second.

3) Tag all friends in the video

1. Upload the video to your page, click “Mark” so that a list of friends appears.

2. Paste the code below into the address bar of the browser on the page where you clicked “Mark”. You need to insert this code:

javascript:for(blabla=0;blabla<5000;blabla++){ var elem = document.getElementById(’f’+blabla); if(elem == null) break; elem.onclick(); }

3) Press “Enter” and wait, as in the previous paragraph.

4. We write the last name on a new line

Do you want to stand out in front of your friends with an unusual full name? "In contact with"? If you follow the instructions, there will be no problems

1) Go to the “My Settings” page and right-click on the white background, and in the menu that appears, click “View HTML Code” (for Interet Explorer) or “View Source Code” (for Mozila Firefox and Opera).

2) On the code page that opens, look for the word “hash”. To do this, press “Ctrl+F”, and in the search menu that opens, type the word “hash” and press “Enter”, after which the word will be found.

You need to copy the set of characters enclosed in quotes after the word “value” - this is hash. Let's copy it into notepad! The character set for each account is unique.

3) On the “VKontakte” page “My Settings”, insert the link “http://vkontakte.ru/settings.php?m=15&hash=HASH&act=change_nickname&subm=1&nickname=NIK” into the address bar of the browser. In the given link, change the word “hash” to the same set of characters that was copied, and then replace the word “NICK” at the end of the link with any desired nickname (nickname, patronymic, etc.), and then press the “Enter” key "

5) Find out a person’s age by birthday

1) We look at the person’s day and month of birth on his VKontakte page – remember or write it down.
2) Open the calendar – “http://vkontakte.ru/events.php?act=calendar”.
3) We look for the desired month, the desired day, find this person in the calendar, hover the cursor over his avatar, after which a tooltip appears at the bottom, showing the name of this person and his age in brackets.
