HAPPY JHUDORA DAY!

Random question: do you know why sometimes donated wearables go to the Money Tree, versus the Second-Hand Shoppe? I've always wondered! ~~spikegalactic2000
Hey! Love random questions! The general idea and intent are to donate a wearable item to the shoppe and a non-wearable item to the money tree. Our code works as a donation service sifting through and thinking "oh, someone might want to wear this". I hope this helps! ~~Yarner

Hello! I was wondering if as you upgrade the safety deposit box if you would be open to adding a feature that allows you to have different categories in your SDB? For example, I have so much charity corned junk stashed away with all my valuables, it gets very confusing what is what. I would love to be able to sort my stuff. Thanks for considering! ~~sugar_head
Hiya! With the SDB update, we’d love to add more ways to organize and sort items. We’ll look into this! ~~SunPotato

Hello TNT! *Places a plate of fresh cookies out* I understand it will be a while before the next purge will start again, but I was wondering if pets that are still held on pound_release would become available sooner? There is a pet's name I believe is still in there and would love to have the ability to adopt or create them. Thanks for you time, please remove my name if my question is picked. ~~anonymous
Hi hi! We have this in our roadmap to look into and are discussing the work that needs to happen to update our current scripts that are in place. ~~Yarner

Hi TNT! I'll start off with: you don't have to publish this question in the Editorial, even if you end up addressing it, as it's really just an ask for a bug fix! The NC item "Sparkling Carmariller Wig" is bugged on the Buzz and the Kyrii. On most species, this wig restricts the zones "Hair Back" as well as "Hair Front." On the Kyrii, however, it only restrics "Hair Front," and on the Buzz, it only restricts "Hair Back!" Can Sparkling Carmariller Wig be fixed so that for all species it restricts both Hair Back and Hair Front? My Kyrii's been wanting to wear this wig for ages, but her hair always shows beneath it! Many thanks, and have a great week! -no tags here-3 ~~catz1
Hello! Okay, so I know I didn't need to address this like you mentioned, buuuuut I thought you might like to know that I just fixed this! Simply had the tease the hair, add a little hairspray, a few bobby pins… ANYWAY. This is now fixed and I hope you enjoy my superb hair-styling skills hehe. Have a wonderful week! ~~MissRainbow

Hi TNT, the Premium Journal feature has suddenly stopped working as it should. We are not able to View Pet Info for existing entries or Edit older entries. The date at the top of each Journal Page has disappeared so we have no idea which date entries are for. The arrows to move between pages have also disappeared, making it very difficult to browse past entries. While the Journal is not the most popular Premium feature, it is still a paid Premium feature that I and many other users enjoy, and it is very disappointing to have it in this state. Please fix these bugs as soon as possible! ~~stargirl089
Hello! We really appreciate you brining this up! We have logged the issue and it is with our development team to find a fix! ~~Yarner

Hello TNT! It's been a while since the Trudy's Surprise prize pool got updated, do you plan on doing so anytime soon? And would there maybe be a chance on it randomly awarding small amounts of NC the same way it awards gift boxes? I'm sure that would be great for players who can't buy NC (like me). ~~nick_and_nickette
Hello! So sorry for the lag on this update! BUT I think you’re gonna be jazzed, because this is gonna happen real soon! Our art team is currently hard at work making some cute new prizes x). NC huh? I can bring this idea to the team to chew on :slight_smile:! ~~MissRainbow

Hi there, TNT!! *hands warm borovan latte* I can speak for everyone and say that we are incredibly thrilled and excited for the recently released pet slots!! I wanted to inquire if it's possible you guys could increase the character limit we get when updating our lookups. We currently have uo to 5,000 characters, however coding lookups take up quite a handful of room, let alone the addition of new pets. We want to be able to display our pets in different ways and sizes, and increasing the limit would let us do such things and more! As a fellow lookup maker, this would give us plenty of room to create the best layouts. Hope you consider it and Thank you so much for everything!! ~~sosunub
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words, the team worked super hard on the pet slots release! This is a great idea that we will work on with the development team to implement. ~~Yarner

All the new wearables you have been releasing with each pet day have all been amazing! I was wondering though if the Queen Amira set and the new Sloth background will be fixed any time soon? We would love to be able to get these items. Thanks so much! ~~xoxhottiexox14
Oh no, even from the depths of the Space Faerie Coin Dr. Sloth is still causing trouble! We looked into those items and had Donny make some quick fixes so they should now both be available! The Slothship background will now appear in the Mystical Surroundings shop and the Queen Amira outfit pieces can now all be found in Unis Clothing. Happy customizing! ~~Aesop

Hey TNT! Do the converted HTML 5 games have their own separate high score table, or do they have no high score table at all? I was playing the converted Igloo Garage Sale game and my score never showed up on the table, despite it being high enough. (P.S. The score limit set for this game is WAY too low - even the score I sent from completing only levels 1-5 with no items dropped was considered "suspicious"!) ~~tokyocathy
Hey! All the newly converted HTML5 do have their own high score table separate from the previous flash games. We will however look into the issue that you are having with the suspicious scores, you are too good! ~~Yarner

We're ringing in Y24...hopefully with a beta release note? It's been 3 months since we've received any news. What events can we expect coming up? Neopies? Faerie Quest Event? Festival of Neggs? Charity Corner? the games are too buggy to really expect Daily Dare or Games Master Challenge any time soon, right? ~~perduco
Hey there! Yes! We just completed the conversion for the Neopies along with the VIP Raffle. We are very excited to be focused on more conversions for the site events that are upcoming. The team recently started talking about designs for the Altador Cup which we expect to start working on soon! On the side we are also working on further updates to enhance the site so we should have a new beta release soon. ~~Yarner

Hey TNT! What is the current gameplan (pun intended) for revamping the flash and shockwave games that award avatars? There are so many of us who need to earn those precious avatars still, really hoping to see those brought back asap! Thanks! ~~xx_lil_billy_rox_xx
Hi! We have prioritized testing these games as we know it is important. We agree, we must earn those precious avatars! ~~Yarner

I truly love this site. I've been playing for almost 20 years now (had another account when I was younger). What can I as a user do to help TNT out? I've made suggestions, I've bought Merch, I've bought NC, etc. I'm willing to volunteer for free to help code or design. I just want this site to feel alive again. I know I'm not the only user who wants to help. Let us know what we can do to keep our beloved Neopets.com alive. Thank you! ~~draco_malfoy018
Keep those suggestions coming in!! We look through all suggestions and have used user suggestions in the past. We do love to hear from our members on anything we can add or improve to make your time on Neopets the best it can be. ~~Kikocat

HAPPY THOUGHTS:

Holy deep-fried macaroni on a stick, never in my wildest childhood dreams did I ever imagine all this transparency between TNT and entrants when it came to writing contests, including my favorite, the poetry contest. From the poetry schedule in the neoboards, to hearing about faerie shipping, to being super open to NMs with questions, to honestly considering ideas and passing them along - just wanted to say thank you so much, all of the communication is absolutely appreciated :D ~~flufflepuff
