  1. I actually really like the default user lookup and would like to keep it, but I know changing my lookup makes my account look better when trying to apply for pets and get lends and things so I'm begrudgingly looking for a premade because I'm terrible at CSS.


    I'm really really fussy, though and I'm not liking most of the ones I have tried because they either make my lookup narrow or make my trophies small or there's a weird sidebar or the navigation bar is either missing or all messed up.


    What I really want is just a simple lookup that doesn't change the default order (for instance I don't like my pets being on the top), so the navigation bar is at the top, and the other boxes are all in the same order, with the coloured headings and nice clear boxes. And nothing is shrunk and hard to read and also there are no pictures of faeries and stuff. To be honest I want it to be almost the same, but with different coloured heading backgrounds and fonts and things like that.


    As a reference, I really like Snarkie's lookup aside from the stuff at the top that I *think* I'm proficient enough to get rid of. It's really neat and in the same style as the default but it still has its own unique style.


    I can't find any premade like this anywhere!


    I'm sorry I'm so fussy!!! Does anyone know of any premades like this? It'd be a huge help!

  2. I finally got around to spending my AC points, though I've no idea if I did the right thing. I could have afforded one Eventide Paint Brush (and not much else) but instead I decided to go for the Robot Yoo, the stamp and 2 of the cheaper books, hoping that they'll all inflate as they're 1 time only things. I'm praying I was right but if not.. oh well! It was only my first AC so you live and learn I suppose :)

  3. While it's a great business decision on TNT's part I have to agree with OP.. the trading of retired NC items has always seemed weird to me.

     

    I mean, if you spent 17mil on a Krawk two years ago and now it's worth 400k at least at the end of the day you can say that it's only a game and you've not lost any real money but to spend $100 on something that becomes worth a few dollars later just doesn't.. sit right with me.

     

    I feel kinda funny about the capsules too.. Making people gamble with real money to get the item that they want seems really wrong to me.

  4. Thanks! That's really helpful :) I'll probably be using that all the time now

     

    I tried to search for stuff like "tab key" and not much is showing so I went with something more general like "cheat"

     

    Okay, somebody posted this strategy on the boards for [specific Neopets game], but I think it's cheating: [user describes cheat in detail, which includes doing things outside game mechanics]. I tried their tips to see what would happen, and they work for me, but I didn't send my score because I was afraid of getting frozen. Is this tactic allowed? I don't think it is, but others disagree with me, so please clarify? You ROCK, by the way. ;D Also, I think Yurbles need a default avie. ^__^ ~pwnnage

    Anyone who thinks that doing what you described by hitting keys and doing other things that are not part of the standard game mechanics and is not a special "cheat" code we purposely put in the game have no understanding of the site rules or are just deluding themselves. We've reported the exploit to our programmers and will be closely monitoring the high scores of that game until it is fixed. We know it's tempting to abuse exploits, but all it is is a great way to get your account frozen. Also, thank you for reporting the exploit in depth. We, of course, can't post it here in the Editorial, but it was very helpful. :)

    What exactly is "doing things outside game mechanics"? O.o

  5. I agree with that. In order to find out what is against the rules I often have to go to user pages where they list what has been stated in editorials 2 years ago as to why this/that can't be done. There really should be a good official rule page somewhere.. unless there is one and I've just not found it yet? The help page doesn't seem to go into specifics a lot of the time :c

  6. Thank you so much. May I ask if TNT clarified this themselves? Or if there is a statement where I could clearly see this written down?

     

    I asked the question to the help boards and basically got told I was a cheater :sad02: so I closed the game and just submitted a question to the editorial instead. I also got redirected to an editorial here: http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=466 (ctrl+F "cheat") and it seems like it would count because I would guess using tab and enter is not the way the game was intended to be played.

     

    I tied with the top score on that game and there's no way the other players used their mouse, but even so my account is very old and I'm not going to risk it just in case this is against the rules.

  7. Hey guys! I have a question about games. I found out a way to win a certain game by using the tab and enter keys instead of how the game is meant to be played. I managed to get a gold trophy score using this method but I haven't sent my score yet because I'm not sure if what I did is against the rules or not. It sort of feels like cheating seeing as I didn't play the game how it was meant to be played, but then again I used this guide for another game - http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=smugbugsmite - for Better Than You the other week and that seems to recommend using the tab and enter keys to win the game.. so I'm a little confused.

     

    I don't want to break the rules :(

     

    I wondered if anyone had some wisdom on this topic or even better perhaps an editorial that mentioned it once upon a time.

     

    Thanks so much to anyone who can help!

    Oh and also.. I'm going to leave the tab with my score open for however long it takes to find out.. is it okay to send a score an hour or two after you've played?

    Two new trophies last night!

     

    I also submitted like three things to the Times this week and 2/3 have been saved and I'm still waiting on the other one..

     

    I also hit 4000NP daily interest too. It has been an extremely good week :laughingsmiley:

     

    Edit: The third one got accepted :dance:

  9. Did anyone else pick this boon and could tell me whether or not they're experiencing something similar?

     

    The image for the ability isn't actually working and looks like this:

    but more importantly it doesn't seem to actually do anything. When I select that ability, not only does it not increase my strength boost.. none of the rest of my attack goes through at all.

     

    My pets strength is 82 and his intelligence is 167 if that helps.. I might have misunderstood what this boon is supposed to do so I thought I'd check here before reporting it :p

  10. Any advice for what I should buy? I have 31,128 points so I can just go straight for the paint brush but I'd rather make a good investment than some quick NPs. I notice the Robot Yooyu is selling for more than the PB on the TP but I figure it's hard to sell but I'm also not sure about the book/stamps because in a few years they might be worth a lot.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :wub_anim:
