July 2007 News Archive

The Goal Counters page has been updated. We now have all of Sloth's Transmogrification Potions available as a counter. We have also added a new avatar item counter, and 2 new misc. counters.

We've just launched a new graphics page--Goal Counters! There's already a huge selection (99 different ones!) even though we just launched them. Battledome items, avatar items, paint brushes, pets, petpets, and more.



We've also added 4 new Shop/Gallery Layouts, and 1 new Pet Lookup.

All the old shop layouts, except 1 (still working on the neovia one), have been updated to work in the new neopets layouts. They have been added to the Shop & Gallery Layouts page and will also work in your gallery.

We have 2 new Shop & Gallery Layouts, 2 new guild layouts, 2 new pet lookups, and all the existing pet lookups have been corrected to adjust to the NC Mall button addition.

Edit: the Shop and Gallery layouts pages are now merged into one page, the layouts on this page work for both shop and gallery.

Who says only Neopets can have special days? Today is Tutorial day on SunnyNeo! Why? Well our Tutorial page has just been expanded with three brand new tutorials!

Make a Blog - MS Word: This is a tutorial on how to make a blog for your shop, lookup etc, using Microsoft Word.

Make a Blinkie - Photoshop: This tutorial will show you how to make a blinkie using the software program Photoshop.

Cutting Out Images: This tutorial will explain to you how to make flawlessly cut out part of a bigger image in Photoshop.


Move 3 pixels down? How long is a pixel?

After receiving dozens of neomails about the Boochi random event I had placed on the News and Features earlier this month, it was time to make a good guide about random events, how they work and what they do. It is now done, SunnyNeo's Random Events Guide.

Something has happened!
	Dr. Sloth has his "associates" take 20% of your Neopoints away to support his next Neopian invasion effort.

Have you been wondering what a pet will look like in its new converted form, and is the rainbow pool not much help to you? Behold! SunnyNeo's Converted Pets page.

Other good news is: The kougra problem we had with the Customisation database has been fixed.

And... the screenshots for Mozilla Firefox in our Adblocking Tutorial are now in English!

	Try on some different items from the NC Mall. Getting this avatar is random. There is no event that gives you the avatar, it just appears in your list. This avatar does not count towards your secret avatar count.

All the descriptions, rarities and shops of the wearable clothes have been entered into our Customisation database. Now you can browse and find out which shop sells the item you are looking for!
There is one note however, the items that a Kougra can wear are not showing up properly, we are busy trying to fix this error. The kougra problem has been solved!

Secondly, we have divided the Stamps page into smaller sections. Each album page now has it's own page. Which means the page should be loading much quicker, especially for those on dial up!

As promised to you before, the Customisation page would get updated again after we had implemented some cool changes. These changes are now complete!. You can now see the 5 newest items on the home page as well as view a clothing item and see which pet can wear it! Some changes may still be made so be on the lookout for those. Also, some of the descriptions and fields for the items may not be filled in. This will be fixed soon.



Then there are two reminders I was asked to post. First concerns the people who have changed their active pet, so their pet will match their font/avatar. Please be aware that the Boochi and invisible random events are still active. Your new active pet may get turned baby or invisible. Keep in mind if this is worth it to you.

Something has happened!
	Oh no! Boochi fires his ray gun and turns petname into a Baby!!!

Second of all, those of you who were not picked to be a beta tester on the NC Mall can now also go there. You will be able to try on the mall clothes on your pet, for free. Its a fun thing to do without spending money.

First of all a very happy joyful message relating to the petpet avatars. They had not been working since April, but they are back now! If you were missing out on some petpet avatars, now is your chance to get them!

Second of all, did you notice it was Jelly Day, but the news was never updated? Here is the secret Jelly Day News (because of course.. Jelly World does not exist according to TNT...):

If you are unhappy about the major increase in advertisments on neopets (and perhaps on other websites you like to visit), read our newest Blocking the Ads tutorial. It will show you how to get an advert-free browsing environment on your computer. No more inappropriate ads that slow everything down and sometimes even give you spyware!

The second tutorial if for those among us who are very attached to having just one avatar and dont want their active neopet to show on the Neoboards. Interested? Visit the Hiding your pet on Neoboards tutorial.
(For future references: the link to this page can be found on the Neoboards Tricks Page)


Must... kill... ads...

Latest news is that you can now collect your prizes from the JTTLI Plot, in the Prize Shop! There is no avatar or sidebar however :(

Here is the font for the new Beach avatar that a lot of you have been patiently waiting for:

neoHTML Bεαch fun! ☼☼☼☼☼☼ neoHTML [center][fontf=verdanas=1c=#65BE4B]neoHTML[/font][br][b][fontc=#2CCBCAf=georgias=3][u]Bεαch fun![/u] [/font][/b][ ][br][fontc=#FCDB47f=impact]☼☼☼[/font][fontc=#E2D6A5f=impact]☼☼☼[/font][/center] siggy

And if you haven't already, don't forget to collect your Monthly Freebies.


Update: it seems as though neopets has changed the layout of the NeoBoards. What has happened?

• First of all the advertisments have been repositioned. Now they are more visible for you, so you cannot ignore their presence anymore :(
  Tip: Get a program such that will block ads, an example for Firefox users is Adblock, which can be added to your browser as an Add-on. Or on Internet Explorer, programs like Norton AntiSpam will do the same thing.
• Second of all, the Neoboards will now show your active Neopet. This means your fonts wont match very nicely anymore. Unless you get a pet that matches with your avatar, or vice vera. The reason for this is possibly that TNT wants to promote their NC Mall idea and persuade people to spend real money on clothes for their pets. Because now these clothes will also be visible on the boards.
  Tip: Don't want to show a pet? Get an invisible pet!
• Finally, changing your Site Theme will change the colour scheme of the boards. For example: Valentines will be red and Maraquan blue.
  Tip: no tip, this is actually a nice change!
