Alternate Advertisement Placement
Most Neopians play at least some flash games. There are already short animations on the load screens. Why not replace those with neo or sponsor advertisements instead of having this in your face flash advert? I certainly stare at my loading screen longer than any of the pages.

It seems quite a few people don't like the top bar or the banner advertisement. I wouldn't mind seeing an advert for Sparkle Happy Fresh Deoderant while I'm waiting for Freaky Factory, or a screen after I sent my score that says Like this game? Why not play Teenage Popstar Rampage next?..
Just a thought...

o0o thats how the paid thing works? ah, good to know
and the few non-neopets related ads which you see around aren't really a big deal.. not to me anyways, its just when you start seeing them on every page, everywhere, all over the site. that is when i draw the line, and when most other people probably will too and quit neopets.

I dont like the idea of opening it up in a new window, cos then you would miss random events and also would miss neomails etc.
Speaking of Random Events has anyone had any with the new tool bar, if so can you post a screenie, would be interested to see how it looks........or if you just wanna send the baby paintbrush random event over to me, thats good too!!:P
I never get Random events. i've had ONE since getting the toolbar, and i've been doing some serious clicking!!!
neither do I! So my suggestion is to send random events to everyone with the new toolbar, purely for research purposes of course!After all we need to know how they are gonna look under the banner!!

I totally agree with that, I spend ages getting avatars that i will never use. I wouldnt mind spending ages (and probably np) getting something I will enjoy.

I've gotten a total of three RE's since getting the beta toolbar. They show up just like regular RE's, just a little lower on the page. There hasn't been any stretching, glitching, ect. And even the faerie quest RE looked fine. (Don't get too excited, it was an Earth Faerie quest.)
I think that having the four 'basic color' bars available to all, then giving the option to 'collect' special or seasonal bars would be fantasic. (And, did I mention my idea to get them through a 'treasure hunt' type game, so people can't give out links and items aren't inflated?)

That is the best idea Ive heard yet! That wouldnt bother me in the slightest to see an advert while waiting for a game to load. At least that way it wouldnt bother anyone who cant play flash games for medical reasons, and they would be able to play the rest of the site without problems......TNT you need to hire this gal!!:)
