Booorrring... I guess I'm just not much of an Isca/Caylis fan.

*looks at Isca's image there* Ok, that's -5 points on her for looking insane.

Nice news, overall. Now let's have a Scarblade day.

EDIT: Isca looks like DeeDee from Dexter's lab... O_O

Erm.. is the user lookup of the week broken and icky for anyone else?

Meh, I wish they'd stop choosing lookups solely based on themes. I know of some really good ones that *gasp* work in nearly all browsers that aren't being picked because they aren't matched up according to whatever theme of the week it is.

Isca does look like DeeDee. I can imagine her swimming into Caylis's cave going on and on about underwater ballet and her new pretty pretty peo doll.

Yeah, my look up is workable on both IE, Opera and Firefox...except mine can't win thanks to TNT maxing charaters at 4k. -.-
They really do need to stop going by themes, only way they can't is if no one enters a theme related to the random wednesday theme. Then they just do a random pick.

This week's look up is broken for me. TNT was lucky to see it.

XD @ Isca as Deedee. That would be a funny neotimes comic, Huggles.

TNT should really consider saving the pictures someone puts in their lookup onto their own server. If you go back and look at some of the older gallery spotlights, everything is plastered with "HOSTED BY ANGELFIRE." It's ridiculous. And I highly doubt many free places where someone may host their lookup images can withstand Neo's traffic for very long.

darn it! Yes my lookup IS Isca themed. I made it the day I got the magazine, scanned the cover and made a background and everything. Works in every browser too. And it works, since I use a "real" image host. Argh, I think I should just give up on entering anything ever.

Armi, I agree with you on that Isca image. She does look a bit deranged

The first time I tried to respond here firefox stalled. The second time my connection died. The third my pc locked up entirely and only after running after spybot, adaware, scandisk, and eventually system restore can I now post and now I feel obliged to make this post especially worthwhile even though I only had a few things to say. Ungh.

Anyway, I agree that they should save images for contests that are heavily dependent upon user created images. How someone won by using geocities is beyond me. Armi, yours is great. I love the picture of Galgaroth. The only problem I see is that your sidebar only overlays on top of Neopets' and all the special sidebars show underneath it. This should remove it, but you may want to adjust it a bit depending on whether or not you want the clock, searchbox, or whatever to show.

Place anywhere inside your style tags.

Code:

OBJECT, INPUT, FORM, TXT, #tbg, #m, #mb, #n { visibility:hidden; }
table, td {background: transparent;}

Ugh, I need every single piece of that furniture.

The bed and chair are especially

Aww thanks, Huggles.

Mine does have that sidebar flaw and halloween sidebar are really the only ones that work with it, but not by much.

I'll go test this using my spare account. I always like to test my look up on my spare before messing with it on my main.
Stupid 4000 character max...I don't know HTML well enough to shrink mine without killing something. -.-

Guess Grarrl day is the only chance I got with my look up.

I really enjoy the new lamp. It's pretty cute. And the rug too. I can't seem to find the new shopkeepers, what are they under?

I can't find them either. o_O
