Lower your screen resolution to something like 1280x960 or until it works (1024x768 is the safest).

Might be a bit overly simplistic on my part but largely, yes.  You don't have to take my word for it.  If you look into the history of Macromedia (the original creators of both Flash and Shockwave), Adobe, Flash, etc. it starts to all fall into place.  Adobe never wanted Flash and ACTUALLY, Steve Jobs' oft-cited hatred of Flash wasn't of Flash itself.  He said he would allow Apple devices to support Flash if Adobe put in the work to secure it to his satisfaction in a 6 month span, and Adobe basically came back and said "Oops this is hard" and that was that.  I'd draw a parallel to American healthcare reform but I don't wanna risk getting a derail going.  ^_-
 
The bottom lines are:
 
1. Flash is often a source of exploits, hacks, and security problems.
2. Flash is not universally but largely being made obsolete by other newer protocols/systems, namely HTML5.  For the most part, no one will notice because a lot of current//updated/new content will either have been converted by then or not been made in Flash to begin with.
3. That doesn't change the fact that "Flash is bad" is only a half-truth that became accepted by the tech community because of how often it was parroted, people like Steve Jobs saying so, and Adobe not putting in the effort to prove otherwise.
4. Adobe is largely (potentially anyway) absolutely gutting large sections of an era of the internet by doing this, but there's not really enough reason for most people to care.
5. Things like HTML5 will in all likelihood effectively replace Flash and possibly make things better.  I don't want to make it sound like Flash is flawless or that there won't be any way to produce similar or even identical or better content in the future via other methods.  That doesn't change the fact that Flash is getting dumped not because of some inherent badness, but because Adobe does not, and has NEVER seen it as worth the effort.  Which is fair enough in some ways I suppose, but that doesn't mean that there's not a lot more nuance to how we got here than "Flash bad".
 
I'll use the operating system comparison, since it's a reasonably apt one save for one huge difference which I'll get to, wherein lies the problem/shame in all of this.  Windows XP is, at this point, genuinely obsolete and unnecessary.  Eventually, Windows 7 will be the same.  There is absolutely something to be said for dumping support for old OSes to make way for better, newer ones.  The problem with the Forced Flash Phaseout (hello, alliteration!) is that probably 98% of the time or more, any new operating system will have backwards compatibility.  It's not as if huge swaths of Windows 7 programs or files will be flat-out inoperable with Windows 10.  There are exceptions, of course, but by and large backwards compatibility is absolutely industry standard.  The same largely goes for game consoles (which are essentially computers) and where there ISN'T backwards compatibility. there will probably 9 times out of 10 be work done on a functional equivalent of such via emulation.  See, for example, XBox 360 games digitally downloaded on the XBox One or the Nintendo Virtual Console.  That is literally just an officially released emulator (or in the case of the XB1 and PS4 to PS3 backwards compatibility, a natively built-in emulator into the operating system), wherein it can read either the physical disk or the code of the digital file, say "I know what to do with this". switch into emulation, and function as a previous console.  That's also how game emulators and ROMs work on computers.  The problem is that as of this moment, NO ONE is doing anything to back-compat or naturally emulate Flash, again probably in large part because Adobe doesn't care enough and no one else has the code.  I really can't think of anything this drastic in modern computing history wherein as of this writing, such huge chunks of worldwide-accessible content just flat out won't work anymore with no forward-thinking solution currently in sight.  It really is unprecedented.

Fantastic - another returner! Good to see you  :)

Hiya, I'm back! Came across Neopets on social media a little while ago and thought I should hop back on and see how's things. I see my Habitarium has vanished, how annoying.
I'm the guy with the broken MSPP, if anyone remembers.

If you haven't heard, Adobe will be ending support for Flash in 2020. This means at that that point, your browser will cease to support Flash for security reasons (similar to Windows XP).

How do you think TNT will handle the phasing out of Flash? Do you think they'll successfully be able to migrate all their Flash games into HTML5 or other standard, or make new refreshed content all-together? A lot of Neopets is based on Flash, and this will be a massive undertaking with a 3 year deadline. I'm not confident they can pull it off, to be honest.

Welcome Back!!!

Anyway, you can see that Caption Contest has returned, Jumpstart has been bought and Neopets has been getting repairs here and there, and key quest is......... still broken. 

There's a Baby Kougra that's 32 days old (as of this posting), with a little less than a month left for the avatar's eligibility (<59 days). Spotted on NeoBoard:

So I'm trying to get the MSPP avatar, I followed TDN's avatar solutions which says to "View your inventory while carrying a Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie (TCG) there."
 
I've refreshed at my inventory multiple times but the avatar won't show up.
 
Here's what I'm doing:-
 

 
As you can see I'm clearly carrying the MSPP (TCG) in my hand so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :(

We are located at adoptneo.com.
 
We created this site as a more user-friendly spinoff of Neopound, as my friend was one of the co-owners of that site. The only thing this database needs is pets, and we'd love for you guys to help us out with that!
 
Some features:
- PHP Based, Website maintains itself
- Search engine and Advanced Search that offers the following specifications:
Color, species, RW/RN status, UC status, and BD status.
In Advanced Search, you can look up pets based on name format, gender, conversion status, and by the first letter of the pet's name.
- Editable on-site petlookups
Included on these pages are contact information, foster information, tags (UC, RW, etc.), and rules page/rules guidelines.
- Editable on-site userlookups
Included is the list of all of your pets up for adoption, a small editable description for you to personalize, the owner's main account, and the best way to contact them.
- UFQA section for pets with a less than 2-week adoption period
- User friendly foster page that can detect UC status, pet color, and pet species.
 
Hope we can see you guys there soon!

And the fan service, don't forget about that. The creators do care about what fans want (although their legal team doesn't always play nice)

/haha I suppose I have an insanely good eye for detail?! :P I always watch movies and shows till the end of the credits, so maybe it's just so that I'm more used to paying attention to that kind of stuff? Idk how it comes that I noticed your nickname among all those names; I feel like I've discovered a hidden special talent I didn't even knew I had this very moment. x''D lol
 
It must have been great to see the project funded and finished! ;) I had no idea Bronydoc was crowdfunded, but it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. After all we bronies are very good at creating great content and unite forces to bring our projects to fruition. :)

The cross-eyed pony (Derpy) is one such example, it was originally a mistake in the show (they didn't animate a background character properly) but eventually because a fan favorite, which the animators started hiding in the show.

*edited to remove answers*

I was asked: Avenge Princess Amira's honour with the truth: who took her Grand Speech Scroll at what hour, and by what method?

Just wanna note, JavaScript is NOT Java. Two different web technologies despite the close names. Not sure what you actually saw.
 
 
>.<
 

Try using Internet Explorer, maybe? Also: many parts of Neopets can be rather intensive, especially Habi. Your computer may not be able to run stuff like that for extended periods of time.
 
Edit: Try AdBlock Plus, one of the musts for any browser.

This is FUD (Fear, uncertainty and doubt) and not true.
 
 
Adobe Shockwave is not Adobe Flash Player. But making sure both Shockwave and Flash are updated is a must anyway.

Hoorah!
You've made Dickens a very happy Kadoatie.


*Mew!*

Thanks for doing a good deed!

(Also, in case you were wondering, you have now fed 75 Kadoaties in all!)
 
 
Something Has Happened!
You are now eligible to use 'Kadoatery - Mew!' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

And all your Neopets codes can be shortened as well. Just drop the "neopets.com"

<a href="http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=gissikah"> Can simply be shortened to:
<a href="/userlookup.phtml?user=gissikah"> This is applicable for any link within Neopets. 
Also, imgur URLs are even shorter than Tinypic's :)

You can start by dropping the "http://www." from all href tags and changing your image host to something shorter, like TinyPic.

I'd rather the site itself be fixed first before there's even talks of an app. Besides, an app really wouldn't be my thing anyway. I don't use my phone nearly as much as I do my computer... so I guess I am indifferent. I would, however, love to see something be done about Lutari Island. They need to either fix it or get rid of it. Personally, I'd love to visit it and see what it has to offer, but there's more important issues the site needs to be addressed first.

In my opinion, Neopets can't even get their website working right - which should be their main focus instead of building an app.
