Like, what on earth is this thing? It looks so silly up there, the site doesn't need such a thing >.<

 

Im all for companies making money off their sites, but thats kinda stupid up there imo

[kacheek.love]

it popped out of nowhere a few minutes ago. :'{

 

and its annoying!

i hope its not permanent!

[Tre Le Coco]

off to find a way to block it now >.>; lol

[Tamara]

Yeah. Everyone is enraged. I found the CSS if someone knows how to use AdBlock to block out specific CSS.

EDIT: It just disappeared.

[Strawberri]

I'm so glad it's gone! I wonder if they were just testing it to see if there would be a revolt!

[glamz]

yeah apparently even premium users could see it which of course has the premie boards up in arms. i mean people are paying not to have ads. the boards just went wild for like 10/15 minutes. evreyone rioting. wierdest thing though. i couldnt see it. i have no idea why. i switched in and out of portal view trying to see what everyone else was seeing but no white bar for me. i havent the faintest idea why.

[Ashbash]

I barely even noticed it lol. I didn't mind it.

[-Ryan]

What happened? I missed it and i'm too paranoid to click any links to see the image. xD

[Ruto]

There's nothing wrong with that link...

 

And I didn't even notice the bar until people on the neoboards started complaining. xD

[SarafinaWolf7]

What happened? I missed it and i'm too paranoid to click any links to see the image. xD

I second that. I was sleeping at the time. What happened?

I assume that it has to do with a banner or ad.

[Tre Le Coco]

the link is safe to click guys xD; i just upload images onto my work's server *nods*

[Shadaw the Rampage]

i saw that around 1am my time i thought it was a new tool bar neopets was testing out... or perhaps a update to the neopets tool bar so the newer versions of firefox could use the tool bar.....

[Lion]

I was at school, but I heard a bit of it about it on twitter, as it had a link to Addicting Games, where not *all* games are child-friendly. :yes:

 

I have to admit though, it would be handy... xD

[Deepti M.]

lolz. I was so mad when I saw that bar. I was all like, "I DO NOT WANT A LINK TO NICK JR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH" they should let us customize it and put facebook on there and stuff. xP

[May.]

Yeah, I was like "what the heck is that? ._."

 

I heard (well, read) on the boards that premium users are being asked to test the bar, at the moment.

 

edit: looks like it's back. ._.

[Shadaw the Rampage]

uh oh well we know its nickelodion.... thats a scary thought in itself. o.o {runs arround the room screaming as the boards are on fire} AHHHHH!!!!!!!

[Lion]

Ugh. That's so ugly.

 

... I hate it.

 

But one thing I do like about it -- it has quick-links to nick.com, petpetpark, shockwave (a game site), addicting games and SPONGEBOB. And iCarly.com. :D Well, when you click a menu from Neo for the last two.

[Eddy]

If you don't want it, and have Adblock Plus, add this rule: ##.brand-mamabar

[Tamara]

Here's the solution TO ALL ADD PROBLEMS!!

 

It worked for me PERFECTLY. It feels like I have Premium on all my accounts.

DO EET.

[Utena]

Thanks for the link, Tamara, it worked great for me, and I was really ticked about the stupid nickelodeon bar.

[Shadaw the Rampage]

what absolutely amazes me is how its still up even to this moment {9:14pm central time on 9/25/09}

[antiaircraft]

*updates TDN's filter list*

 

There, all gone. :cigar:

 

For those of you who followed TDN's ad blocking guide for Firefox, Adblock should start blocking the bar next time it does an automatic filter update. You can also trigger a manual filter update by going to Tools > Adblock Plus Preferences > Filters > Update all subscriptions.

 

As for the other browsers... well, I'm working on it. ;)

[ΩCCΩ]

It is here to stay, check the news for today.

[tempdisplay]

Neo has COMPLETELY soled itself out! :@

 

Also, cool site theme, I probably can't get it, must have come from a plot I missed...

[SarafinaWolf7]

Um, I don't have it. Why not? Not that I'm complaining, I'm just curious why not.
