I love changing my hair colour to suit the challenges I'm going through. I have medium dark brown hair and am no stranger to bleaching my hair and going platinum blonde.

A couple of years ago during the pandemic, I bleached my hair and colored it purple with blue underneath and blue highlights. I wanted to show my fun colourful side. Last year in January I coloured my hair the blackest shade I could. I did this to show the darkness I feel on the inside. It was a great way for me to work through my struggles and start to heal. It's still a process, but this change helped.

This may not be your general form of self-care, but I enjoy gaming with many friends online from across the globe. Chatting together and working as a team helps me to escape all the drama I have going on and gives me some socialization. If I'm unable to do this, I start to go to the dark place. It's not so much missing the game but missing the comradery.

My ultimate favourite form of self-care is a long hot shower!

I looked to see if I could find a more appropriate place to post this and I didn't find anything so if there is another place please move the message. I'm am posting to ask if anyone else has noticed an increase, a big increase in the amount of ad's. As soon as I open this area of TDN I have a pop up message. As soon as I delete that one another drops from the top or rises from the bottom. When I move from one topic to the next there seems to be several ad's popping up during the  move. It is different than it was and I don't know why but the increase in ad's is horrible. Why has this happened? Is there a way to stop it? I know things are different I just don't know what to do about it. Thanks for any suggestions.

Do you know how to screenshot? If so, please send in a screenshot and Ian can take a look. Also, it would be helpful to know what page or pages this is happening to you on. I tried seeing it on my end but I think my antivirus is blocking them. It might be one of the ad partners that is being obtrusive again. It happens from time to time. After sending your screenshot, you can turn on an ad-blocker so you can use the site without the annoying ads until it gets resolved. Feel free to send me a PM if you like.

The reason things are becoming inflated is due to the "Charity Corner" aspect of this event. People want to take advantage of everyone's need for the higher rarities and skyrocket the price. It's a shame really as it ruins the event for people which is why in past Charity Corners, I've only done what I felt as the bare minimum. Now that we're only able to donate 10 items per day makes things a bit trickier as I have been hoarding piles of dung in my SDB for this such event.

Remember to go to your preferences and turn off Trudy's Surprise for your side accounts.

Hello Irene, Fellow Canadian here! I'm out west in the prairies. Welcome to TDN!

Is it possible you have an add-on or extension that's blocking it from loading? I don't blame you for not wanting to use Chrome. I'm a Firefox user as well and when I have to use Chrome for certain things it irritates me.

I hope you get this issue figured out!

These posts are coming from a spam bot, similar to a robo caller which is why they're able to do so many so fast. Ian probably won't find the culprit, but hopefully, he can shut them out so we can have our forum back to normal.

Thank you all for your kind words and patience while we deal with this annoying intrusion.

If you notice something that we've missed, like a spam post that's been up for several hours but hidden among other posts, please report it so we can take care of it. But if it's showing up on the side of new posts for each forum, we'll be able to easily tackle those ones.

Hi, is this still unavailable for pets? Being June now?

Would also like to ask if it's still unavailable as of July Thanks! x

Hi, my apologies for not getting back to you both until now. The last couple of months have been super busy for me.

Some of our pets are housed on side accounts and I have been having issues getting into a couple of mine. Emily and I are hoping to have pet lending up and running soon. We appreciate your patience!

Obnoxious spambots.  Seriously, some of us use the most recent posts feature   Do people actually fall for this nonsense?  Because they'd have to be making cash off of it, you'd think, to keep sending them out, unless it's just some jerk with self-esteem/ego problems who keeps creating them to inconvenience others.  **waves broom at spam bots**  Shoo!  SHOO!!!

We are just as annoyed as you are! We are doing everything we can to stop this from happening and have all anti-spam protocols in place, but they're still getting through. Ian is investigating what's going on and hopefully, we can get this sorted out soon. I wish it was as simple as beating them with a broomstick! Hang in there everyone!

Hello, welcome back to Neo and to TDN!

The new layout definitely takes some getting used to.

You could also try emailing neopets support and see if your account is in the system. If not, try registering again. The security feature that refreshes the page could be causing problems for you as well. You can reach them at [email protected]

I would be really interested to know what the average Neopets user's age is. I'm guessing it's mostly adults. (But then again, maybe that's just who I associate with.) Regardless, this decision makes approximately zero sense; the rules that were already in place about what you could and couldn't discuss on the boards seemed sufficient to me to keep things from getting "too" "real-life".

I was so excited that TNT has started to be more openly inclusive and mindful of LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. But this feels like a HUGE step backward.

And how is it more "child friendly" to punish people for talking about absolutely anything non-NP-related? I feel like a rule like that is harder for kids to follow than adults.

 

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit my previous comment, so please forgive the double comment. Am I missing something obvious?

But I wanted to add this screenshot I JUST took.

The white highlight is how it's normally displayed; I added the red line for emphasis. So... what IS the truth?

Yep, you were missing the obvious three dots in the right corner of your post. I merged them for you.

I'm actually quite shocked by this news and I agree Aranel, what is the truth here? I think only time will tell. I'm barely on the neoboards during the AC off-season. If they're making a general chat board, I'm sure teams could make a general chat board there too and still have the main scoreboards and such.

The Neopia Negg finally gave up that stamp! Next I'm going for the book and maybe the wearables. I"m not sure yet. That stamp was my priority.

The festivities have only just begun for this year's Festival of Neggs! Take a leap over to Hop & Dye Neggs to use magical Rainbow Fountain water on some neggs and earn exclusive prizes. The event will run from April 27th to May 22nd, 2023. There are several ticket packs available for the event. It is important to purchase and use the correct one during the event. Bonus prizes will be awarded for completing each negg as well as for the event. All the details and a list of prizes can be found in our guide.

HOP & DYE NEGGS

GUIDE

Last month, I started to read The Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce and am halfway through the 4th book.

OH MY GOSH!! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!

I love the Draik and Kougra and may need to get one in the near future. I definitely need that new outfit though!

You can take a look at our guide to see what prizes you missed.

I hope you feel better soon!

You can create a lookup with any theme you like. There are some exceptions to this as it has to follow the site rules and be safe for all ages. I don't know anything about the theme you're inquiring about, so I'm afraid I'm no help there. If you need help with specific aspects of your coding, I can help with that.

Are you following the steps listed here: https://thedailyneopets.com/neoavatars/kiko-rock

It's specific to your account so it's not something we can just give you the url to.

Drivers like that are one of the reasons I still don't have my drivers license.

I'm glad you're ok and didn't get into an accident.

We live in a rural area and one of the hiways we have to take to the city is busy and full of morons. It's a 2-lane with lots of commuter traffic. We're heading into the city and the speed limit is 100km/h. In the opposite lane is a big truck with several vehicles behind it. This red car decides to pull out around a car, obviously speeding and tries to pass the car and the big truck. We're coming up on this big truck and we have nowhere to go. The car has nowhere to go except to hit the brakes and pull in close behind the big truck. People like that must seriously have a death wish or something.

As far as changed, I'm just tired. I wouldn't say hopeless, but definitely just tired of bad things happening in life.

Oh my gosh! I feel this so much lately! Over the last 6 years things just haven't been working out the way they're supposed to and it's been a struggle sometimes to get through all the hurdles being thrown at me. Our life has changed majorly as a result and my husband has been forced to work away from home, so he's missing all the fun stuff we do.

We got a brand new dishwasher and it's only been installed for a month. Already it's broken and unusable. I've been waiting 2 weeks for a repair technician and now with the long weekend I'll be waiting until next week. Like what are the chances a brand new major appliance is going to stop working almost immediately afterwards.

After everything, I'm like ok what's next?

For one, I no longer care if my house is clean when company comes for a visit. Despite past instances of my lack of cleanliness being used against me. I still clean and try to have things tidy, but I no longer care and won't stay up all night just to make everything presentable. When I'm tired, I just crash. We have a small house and with 5 of us, a big dog and a bird, things get messy quick. Kids don't really pick up after themselves unless they're motivated enough.

My husband and I started our own business this past year. It's just a small trucking company and has been enough to pay our bills and catch up on things. We'd be doing better if it wasn't for the constant repairs on our highway truck. Something always seems to go wrong each month that puts us a bit short of our contract.

I think the biggest thing for me is I figured out what my passion is and what I want to do with my life career wise. It's just getting into a position that's a bit difficult. I'd like to work as a teacher, but unfortunately cannot afford the education for that right now. I'm going to work as an Educational Assistant and help the younger kids who are struggling with their learning or have learning disabilities like my daughter.

Does anyone know when they will have all the results? I was thinking they may have already finished their calculations or whatnot. If these so called cheater groups are found guilty what type of consequences do they face? Are *All Star Groups* considered to be cheaters as well What is JS I would like to read more about this. + 

Results "should" be out today as the staff tournament has ended. If not today, then definitely by the end of the week. What TNT will likely do is take away some of the wins these groups have accumulated throughout the cup and the end results would change. All Star Groups are a group of people that play the games properly without cheating. There is just a LOT of them and they band together to join a team and help them that year. Each year their loyalty changes. JS stands for JumpStart and they are the owners of Neopets.
