A User Lookup shows the stats of a specific player on Neopets. Can be customized by the user with different colors and images.

Contents

All the available contents of the User Lookup...

User Stats

These are items of the user lookup which cannot be edited, and must be shown at all times to all viewing users.

Name

The name associated with the user account name. Although designed to represent the users real name, it can be used for pseudonyms, general false names, etc should the user wish. On users who are under 13 without the correct form sent to the Neopets headquarters in compliance with COPPA regulations, the section is unmodifiable and reads 'none'.

Last Spotted

Shows when the user was last on Neopets. Lowest it can show is Under one day ago and highest up to a few hundred days. If too many days pass since the users last log-in (unknown how many days), the Last Spotted bar will disappear completely.

Gender

The gender of the user. This is a customizable feature which can be changed whenever the users chooses, making it easy for a user to confuse their true identity on the Neopets.

Country

The country the players account is stationed in. This is another customisable feature which can be changed at any time. One of the many known reasons for users to change this is to gain access to certain games, such as the Luck and Chance Games when Neopets blocked users of Australia from playing them, or for special offers available only to specific countries.

Started Playing

Shows the exact date when the user created the account. This is not necessarily when the user first joined Neopets, only when the specific account in question was created.

Some users have been known to show different hobby options than what can be chosen in the lists provided by Neopets. This is probably from special User Lookup coding the user created.

Displays a link to the user's gallery, as well as its name and size, if applicable.

Displays the total number of Sidebar themes the user has collected.

Secret Avatars

Shows the number of secret Avatars the user has collected.

Tyrannian Army

Shows the rank and score of the user in the Tyrannian Army. Works as a link to the Tyrannian Town hall, where the defence to The Tyrannian Invasion was organised from.

User Lookup of the Week

If a User Lookup is exceptionally well made, if may be featured in the User Lookup of the Week contest.

On April 27, 2007, Neopets released Neopets 2.0, a redesign of the website. The redisgn drastically changed the customizable HTML and CSS sections of the site, which included user lookups. Because of the changes, many user lookups appear broken and chaotic, including all the archived user lookups of the User Lookup of the Week contest. To fix this, for contest #116 starting May 2, 2007, all older entries were purged from the database.

Trivia

  • When a user submits their user lookup into the User Lookup of the Week contest, they do not need to resubmit into the contest. The Neopets Team will contact the user, and let them know if it's was rejected, placed on hold, accepted, etc. Resubmitting only puts the user at the very end of the list. Revealed in the the editorial of issue 239 of the Neopian Times.
  • For User Lookup of the Week contest #116 (May 2, 2007), Neopets added a feature which showed how many more user lookups they needed to go for the contest.
