Besides the physical problems I am having with it - even doing the scroll down fast thing - that doesn't always work, some of the pages are kind of "hanging" so I can't scroll. It seems now like all you really see IS the sidebar/topbanner. It's almost overwhelming in relation to the actual page you're on. Just too much. Maybe it's all that yellow?

Snarkie, considering you're answering our questions here, I have a few of my own pertaining about the Neopian Clock.
In the future, is it possible to setup a province/state/city or whatnot for the country we live in? For example, if I choose Canada, it should display all of the provinces in Canada.
Now this is leading up to my main question, once this is created, will you be able to code the clock to match each Neopian player's account to their specific timezone?
I know the second part will be difficult or nearly impossible to do, but I am simply asking if you would be able to do it. If not, I am perfectly happy with the NST time.
Wouldn't be hard at all, but there is no other time in Neopia besides NST. I can definitely understand why you'd want it set to your own time, as hyperflutterby explained. But it may confuse people otherwise on things like Count Von Roo, for example, when it says he's up at Midnight, and we need it to stay within the Neopian world, so it's been decided that it will remain NST (Pacific).

Snarkie, I don't know if you caught this suggestion earlier, but would it be possible to remove this banner... [snip]
snarkie = code monkey so I have no clue on that. I can tell you though that if someone creates a page without a header, they are taken outside and beaten with wet asparagus. Headers are part of the branding, and our internal style guide instructs everyone to use them on any page you create no matter what. So I would guess the chance that they would be removed is slim to NULL.
Also, if anyone is curious, I've given the div that displays the flash banners a class called "banner" and the clock is "nst." Just set those classes to hidden in the CSS and they won't display on your userlookup. (It means editing your code, but it was the best way to make it really easy to hide on lookups.) So you should now be able to cover the flash with your own images and hide the clock with ease.
The template is set to go up with today's sync, and that should be any minute now.
Now I admit to being clueless at times when it comes to looking at code, especially css (mental block or being old?) ... anyway, I can't find that "banner" class and I don't know what it means to set those classes to hidden.
I wouldn't hide the clock, and I've never covered the small shockwave ad on my lookup - I always stop my sidebars at logout. Just don't believe in hiding/disabling the search, etc. stuff. It always bothers me when I see one of the long sidebars that cover everything ... but that's just me I guess.
But if it IS ok to do, I would like to be able to hide that topbanner just on my lookup. I just don't know how - I've seen some lookups that have the ad disabled, but there's still a huge yellow rectangle with a black line through the middle on the top of the person's lookup.
As I said - I only want to know how to do this with the topbanner if it is allowed. No matter how I feel about it, I also don't want to break a rule - written or unwritten.
