I'm getting superfrustrated because my alert button has yet to do anything. It didn't do anything during the last giveaway either.

And I collect stamps!! :(

Do you think I should try re-downloading the toolbar? Perhaps I have an older version or something...

Ugh, I missed it again? That's it, I can't eat dinner anymore (that's why I missed it *sigh*)

It's only been the one time today as far as I know so you still have a chance.

Fri Aug 18, 2006 3:58 am

Well, I hope it's soon...I'm getting tired over here (it's midnight where I am). I'll be even more frustrated if I miss it because I fell asleep!

11pm here and I don't want to sit around all night with a browser open waiting for it either.

Maybe one more hour and I can act like I'm getting some work done.

I have a 20 page paper to write by Friday (oops...halfway there) so I guess I could type while frantically checking the alert button :roll:

I have a feeling there will be no more giveaways today. If I remember correctly, the giveaways for last time were at perfectly reasonable hours when people were most likely to be awake and receive the alerts. I doubt TNT would be as so cruel as to do a giveaway in the middle of the dead night . . . although that would more benefit people in other time zones.

Other timezones is what I'm thinking. I'm hoping they'll do it before 3-4 in the morning.

Don't hold your breath on it.... and also remember that you may simply not be noticing your alert blink because if you dont notice it right away i think it stops blinking by the time Tarla leaves because the messages do not even sticky themselves like the 'you found the alert' But personaly I'm glad to see them doing SOMETHING with the alert for non premim memembers (I take it premium members get more random alerts of some sort) I've had the toolbar for a long time (on and off) and never had anything like this before

also, sorry if there are crazy typos im kinda sleepy

I've kept the browser open, mostly because I have the Wheel of Monotony going and I'm checking other sites and no blinking so far.

By the time I got to it today when I clicked on the alert button, the popup said that she had left the building. How often has Neopets been doing this?

Fri Aug 18, 2006 6:55 am

She's back!

Looks like the prize is a Chocolate Factory Stamp again.

Fri Aug 18, 2006 6:58 am

I just got the stamp at 11:58 NST.

Tarla has left the building...

Ugh. Always shows up when I'm not paying attention. :/
