*Ding Dong* Its the Neopets Toolbar!

Tue Jan 30, 2007 12:30 am

Okay... something bizarre just happened for the first time. I logged onto my laptop... and my computer made a ding-dong doorbell noise. A box saying "you have a new alert message" (or something like it) came up with an "okay" button. I looked up and the alert button WAS flashing. Unfortunately, Tarla was nowhere to be found. I changed my password... but wow. Is this a new feature? Has it happened to anyone else?

Wow!Thats weird.It hasn't happened to me.

Sure. It's a Firefox extension. Do you remember adding it? Here's a link, so you can see what it does:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3397/

Look familiar?

Nope. Doesn't look familiar. I don't recall ever installing that. I was on this laptop yesterday and got a prize... and there wasn't any alternate sound. Just happened for the first time today. I'm the only person who uses this computer too.

Hey that is cool. I generally leave firefox open to monitor my email, but it's generally minimized so I rarely see the flashing alert. Now I'll be able to hear the ding. Thanks!

EDIT: Worked beautifully for me today. I had Firefox minimized, but heard "Ding Dong". I was then able to get something from Tarla!
