Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Hey, sorry if I offended you. That comment really wasn't directed to the people who signed up but rather to the people *coughdohringcough* who decided to create the service itself. Donna has said multiple times in the Editorial that Neo will never, ever become a pay-to-play site, and yet it seems to be all too close to becoming one.

Sorry it sounded as if I was going after the subscribers, but I really didn't mean it that way. I'm just upset at Neopets, Inc.

I like the idea of the stock ticker

the event for selling an item in your shop, eh, maybe give users a choice of wether or not to use it and for what price and up/down... might be an idea

I LOVE that they put the search box below the user/pet names and Neopoint amount! I always keep all except a couple hundred Neopoints in my bank, so I'm always looking to see if I have enought nps to do this daily or that one. I also change my user lookup regularly, so this is really more convenient too.

Thanks to Adam and Snarkie for taking the time to listen to the players.

I found an error.

Now tell what is wrong with this picture? The event image and what you see are one in the same.

That scared me for a second after spending 50 minutes haggling.

seriously, i stared for a couple minutes wondering what on earth you were talking about, but i see it now, might wanna get that fixed

It's not a problem. It just struck me as wrong. It not really is pay-to-play yet...since the core of Neopets is still free. I mean, honestly, the only reason I've gotten any random events lately is because I'm playing neoquest, not due to any Premium service. It's kinda frustrating...

Is a red X.
That is the only glitch I'm running into.

A lot of people are having trouble getting any of the games to load. I wonder if Adam is in the middle of putting up the new toolbar for the general population??

Paying for the Portal is a drag, but I'll probably do it if it means no advertising on the toolbars....

Okay, finally got a chance to reply. We're still here, just pretty busy as you can imagine.

Lots of fixes just went up. So check it out. Comments and other fixes below.

Thanks again for the help. ^_^

Heh. I missed the item event. They should all have the title tag now.


We're actually looking at some server side optimization that will make pages load in about 1/3 the time (hopefully). This should help dialup players quite a bit if we can get it to work.


Should be fixed. That's a really old game with really old code, so hopefully I got all the new code in the right spots. Lemme know if you get anything else funky on it. Thanks!


Yeah, it's a product of the new template. -_- The way it is now, you'd just have this nice little icon up there and nothing next to it and it would be really lonely. So while we try to come up with some spiffy ways to display events there, we're just excluding them for now. It's the index page so lots of people have to have a say in that one.


Why, Battledome? Why!? I'll fix this as soon as I have a few spare hours to wade through the 100 pounds of code. Thanks for reporting it!!


Heh. We figured people would use search more than a link to their own lookup so that's why it was at the top. But several people from lots of different testing groups said otherwise, mostly because of the NP line, so we just moved it up. We also had to consider placement of that ad but we pushed it down anyway. Bwaa haa haa!


There were a few icon changes that were planned. Boards and Create a Neopet were done quite early, but we had to find just the right thing to use for news. Games was also planned, but we are trying lots of different things with that one. Heh. I think the rest are staying the same but you can suggest away if you have ideas.


Okay, this one has me stumped since it's working fine for us here and all the code is there. Does it continue to be fudged after you refresh? Is there a header image and/or event at the top of the page? If you could copy the code from the flash banner to the "19th of October" part, that would be really helpful!


Yup, that's non-IE. It's because of the divs. I will fix it in a bit!


Hahaha. Fixed! My favorite one of those icons is:



Yup. As I said, the game challenge icons aren't done yet. >.< Artists are working on them now, though. (Actually, I think they're approved at this point. I'll have to check!) Thanks!


Nope. The image servers are just bogged down at the moment. Sys admins are working on it.

----------------------

*whew* I will check back in the morning if there's anything else you want to report.

I... did... not... see... that... one... HAHA!

I definately agree with you on that one!

XD I had to check why she looked like that. I actaully would like to see a withdraw now.

Thanks for the fix-age Snarkie. You guys are doing great fixing all the errors.
I've seen no more prblems currently from what I'm doing.


Wait, actaully, it might just be me, but you know how the neomail has flash or whatever now? Well, I can't seem to get any of the buttons on my n-mail to work now. Was annoying when I had C&P a word and I couldn't unbold it.
Again, it might just be a problem with Mozilla. I didn't have this problem tillt he new sidebar.

Aaawwwwww, the trading post icon is so cute!

Yay, someone fixed the pyramids game! Thank you so much!


And also, when is the new yellow bar going to be released? I can't wait to be able to change themes!

This is a question not directly related to the new sidebar but more for the ads. I use Mozilla Firefox and there is an extension available called Adblock. My question is, could I get frozen for Adblocking the flash ads shown in the sidebar?

I didn't even think about that. It doesn't seem like you can since I've been using one since like July. It's been really nice for dial-up I would like a staff member's opinion about this though.

Excellent question Kiwi! Lots of people do use Mozilla ... I was thinking of looking into it myself.

I can now confirm that the premium.neopets.com does not work - get a can't find page. So I'm suggesting that since so much is being done that a link be put on the site? I looked in my magazine - the one that talked about the portal - no addy there. I did want to check it out, see if you can get JUST the Portal - nothing else, and if there's anything on getting the portal with more than one account.

One other thing, and people who have this please don't fling dung at me, ok? Lookups + music + dial-up and now this big flash banner? I'll never get to some peoples' lookups! Just takes too darned long now, without the extra ad. I thought the music code was disabled and music wasn't allowed on lookups anymore. Seems people are using an alternate code.
