But its also easy to edit your lookup to look like that as well. Plus, their name isn't really %20 but a simple space. Thats why in their user lookup, it says "User Lookup : " instead of "User Lookup : %20".

%20 is a space. Go ahead and type something in your browser like http://www.google.com/ test

Make sure the space is there before test. You will see the %20 there after you click to visit that URL. I think the person just signed up with their username being a space or maybe it really is a TNT testing account and they created it with the name being a space which the browser understands the space as %20 which is why it shows up in the URL and nowhere else on their user lookup as their name for Neopets.

Can't you put HTML in your user lookup that displays whatever trophy images you want?

I went to look up the profile....

"Wow! The The Battle Faerie Collectable Card has magically found its way into your NeoDeck!"


:D

This seems more like someone hacking into the database than anything else. I've heard there are people out there who try to hack into everything just to say they can and have. Of course, TNT has claimed that no one has actually hacked into Neopets before, but there is a first time for everything. And if it isn't a hack, then it's an intentional search for bugs in the system. Either way, it amounts to basically the same thing.

It's probably an account TNT created to test out the special character filter and then forgot to delete.

Then again, it could be an account created by a hacker to put a cookie grabber on...

But how easy is it to put them in the proper space? Sure, anyone could put the pictures up in the space we're given to stick text or whatever.
I hope it is a neopets test account, because otherwise, either I'm really dumb or they're really smart.
I changed my password after going there. I don't know what it'd do but I feel unsafe now...

the explanations make sence, but it still doesn't explain the missing pet...
