  1. ^This. I think somewhere along this thread the "owner has a new job" part of the "LinkedIn account shows that owner has a new job" disappeared, and it just became about LinkedIn. There was some confusion about the site, but if anyone took "having a LinkedIn account implies you're actively looking for work" from this thread: it doesn't. It just means that you probably were looking for work at some point (and may need/want to do so again in the future), and it can be a means to connect with colleagues, clients, etc. (I'm definitely not looking for work right now, but I still have my LinkedIn account, in case I ever do want to change jobs.)
  2. @hpb63094 Love those! The Borovan one is probably the best use of that foreground I've ever seen!
  3. For anyone interested, this is the LinkedIn page for Overpowered (although I'm not sure if you need to be logged in to view the page). According to the page there's 1 employee with a LinkedIn profile, but that one employee can't be found when you click on employees. (But they don't really seem to have an active LinkedIn presence, so this might not mean anything. Technically, it doesn't have to mean anything that the founder left; as long as someone else took over for him. But all the stories I've heard about Overpowered do make me feel sceptical about this.)

  5. Ooh, I guess I got lucky! (I don't have premium, so I can't check the SSW.) You're welcome. ?
  6. I remember being hit with an RE like this years ago, and from that moment on, I tried to not have more than about 20k on hand, and put the rest in the bank.
  7. I was wondering the same thing - I guess it's a pretty good shield? Maybe? I have no idea. (But I just searched for it again on the shop wiz, and there were a few below 10k, so maybe the price is dropping again? I ended up buying it for 3.5k, which is by far the cheapest one I found.)
  8. I got most of the stuff I wanted, as I had a lot of luck the first few days with prizes, except with the Watercoloured Negg. Picked it 4 out of the 5 times I got it as an option, and got every time. ? So if anyone still needs that, let me know! I ended up buying the One Eyed Negg Monster Toy, but am still looking for/interested in buying the Pretty Negg Shield.
  9. Ah, good to know. I haven't checked the boards in ages. Lol, yeah, asking people for suggestions is probably not the best idea; that either gets you impossible requests, or Boaty McBoatface. ? Yup, business as usual.
  10. @jellysundae Has it been confirmed that this year's CC will have the same kind of format as last year's? (I don't really follow Neopets news/boards that much, to be honest. XD) I tend to assume that the CC is different every year, and I didn't even really remember last year's point system. (Which also explains why I keep forgetting the CC prize shop exists, and why I still have points left. ?) But I think people will always want the best rewards possible, so they'll prepare for it just the same, even if they don't like it as much. (The ones that do prepare for it, at least. Although I guess my preparations are the same as well, in the sense that they're nonexistent. ?)
  11. I don't know, that avatar has been around for ages, hasn't it? I know I personally never even tried for it, just got it after occasionally discarding stuff over the years. I don't think it could cause an increase in price so suddenly. Plus, I think most of those junk items keep coming back into the Neopian economy anyway, as they're prizes for dailies. But even if they didn't, the only way prizes would go up, is if demand was higher, which has to be because of some event like CC (or The Coincidence), as they're typically useless items that people aren't really looking to buy.
  12. @jellysundae Yeah, that definitely seems like someone was getting rid of all their stuff before closing their account. (It does make you wonder why they're giving everything away, instead of just keeping their account & their stuff in case they ever decide to come back.)
  13. Yeah, even those kinds of items might be worth something during the CC. So, you might want to wait with discarding them until after the Charity Corner has ended. We'll have to wait to see which types of items will be accepted this year though. Last CC, all items were accepted as donations, but other editions had specific themes, and only accepted specific types of items (like 'school', or 'books'). Or perhaps they just aren't really aware of the existence of the CC? If they're only casual Neopets players, who simply got those items by hoarding everything, they might just not know about things like CC. (If not for sites like TDN and JN, I would definitely miss out on these kinds of events. And even though I'm aware of them now, I don't do anything to prepare for them; I'm a hoarder by nature (I love that the SDB can't be full!), so I always have some items to donate, but I never go out of my way to acquire more stuff.)
  14. If you just want to post a reply to a thread (and not to a specific person/post), you can scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page; underneath the very last post of the page, you'll find a box (next to your avatar) with 'Reply to this topic' inside it. Just click there to start typing your reply. If you do want to quote someone, but only a specific part of their post, you can just edit the text within the quote (as I have done with yours, removing the lines not relevant to my reply). You can also tag someone in your post; that way they still get a notification, but you don't have to quote their post. You can just type @ and then follow it with their username and choose the correct user from the pop-up that will appear underneath your text. (As I'm about to do right now:) @Dilley88 Is it possible the Kaspersky software comes with an ad blocker? Perhaps it's enabled on your computer, but not on your husband's?
  15. Which items exactly are increasing in price? It could be related to the Charity Corner - people tend to stock up on all kinds of items before it starts, driving up the prices.
  16. Lol, no, I think you're right about that. But I don't think that shed is one of those items, as it definitely has the option to be put in the classic neohome. You just can't do anything with it once it's in there.
  17. So there are multiple items that can be placed in the garden, but not moved? Seems like a bug to me... I couldn't agree more. It seems like something that should be fun, but... yeah. XD
  18. I also assumed it was the Green Garden Shed (it's the only green one I found on JN. I never do anything with my neohome(s), which is actually why I bought it, because I couldn't remember how moving stuff in the garden works XD). I could definitely put it in the garden of my classic neohome; it's there when I go to 'arrange furniture' (and choose my garden). I just can't move it around. All the other things in there (mostly prizes from underwater fishing) can be moved: hovering over any those things changes the cursor from an arrow to a pointer, and blue arrows appear over the item. The shed, on the other hand, has no effect on the cursor, no arrows appear, and it just won't budge.
  19. I bought one to try it out, but it's not moving for me either. I'm guessing it's broken. ?
  20. Congtras to the winners (yet another tough round!) and thanks for entering everyone! The information about the next round can be found in this thread. (Getting the character description to look even remotely readable is always a challenge when there's a tie, but it looks somewhat decent to me now. Then again, so did last round's tie, and that looks all messed up now, so either I'm going insane, or this forum has a mind of its own. ? Anyway, apologies if it ever looks like a mess. I tried. I don't think this editor was designed to accommodate this kind of lay-out. ? Or I'm just terrible at it, which is a real possibility. ?)
  21. If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the rules, they can be found right here. Since it'll be Easter next weekend, and I'm really not sure if I'll get around to setting up the new round on Monday, I'm extending the entering period by one week. I also just want to remind everyone that whenever the image DTI provides doesn't look as awesome as you'd like, it's always okay to send me a screenshot instead! (You can also ask me for help with the screenshot, if you don't know how to get one to me, or if the one you made didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.)

  22. The images from DTI were broken for quite a few entries, so if anyone doesn't like the screenshot I used for them, just let me know, and I'll change it. ?
