Yahoo! Custom Profile Colors & Background

I've seen a few profiles where the person was able to set custom colors to there profile quite like yahoo lets you custom your frontpage but this does not carry over to your profile. =( they were also able to set background images as well.

my theory so far is, either..

1) I'm blind and just not looking in the right area.
2) A CSS / HTML string entered into a certain feild

plz don't reply unless you KNOW valid info.. thanx

That got patched, i think theres still a few that are up, but most of the people i know who had it in their profiles yahoo deleted them, this always happens, my friend was arguing with me after he got his up, i told him they would patch it again, this has happened like 3 or 4 times now. There are about 50 or so ids with actual custom colored profiles, i have one:

http://profiles.yahoo.com/hurricane

Theres a few nice ones, for the most part mainly plain colors. These were all made years back b4 yahoo banned them. Ne time new exploits pop up they eventually get wind of it and patch them. Heres a few:

http://profiles.yahoo.com/witchcraft
http://profiles.yahoo.com/-babygirl-
http://profiles.yahoo.com/eminem
http://profiles.yahoo.com/-freedom-

I will post a tutorial on how to do them here if a new exploit pops up.

That's cool. I'd like to do that to mine.

Too bad it's obvious many of those people never studied color theory. lol

Theres none i know of out right now, if any come up i will post about it, a friend of mine is always figuring out how to add pop ups onto his profile, will have him post here if he does it again, these exploits are rare, only a couple pop up each year, and get patched after a few weeks.
