Hmm...the Toolbar link doesn't show up on the yellow sidebar when I use Netscape, but it does when I switch to Internet Explorer. Could it be because you can't download it for Netscape? Still, that wouldn't make sense...

I tried with IE (hate the damn thing 
) but it still gives me the "wrong country" message even after I chose USA...
Anyone got a screenie of the Bori or the p/b?

No, not yet. I still have over 12 hours yet before the "24 hours" are up, and I sort of doubt they've even put the Boris & PBs (if the PBs are going to exist as an item) on the database yet, so...
If the PB is an item, it should show up here when released:

Looks like a cross between a Noil, a Krawk, a Lupe, and a Turtum.
I can't download the toolbar, though. This is too far. Adam doesn't even allow fellow Welsh people to get it. Get my Super Attack Pea, please.

Tch...I downloaded the darn thing,but if you can only adoupt, it sucks for me since I only want one pet and since Bori will be limited, I won't get the sppecies via the lab and might have to sell stuff for a MP. *thinks about Krawk and Draik* I HATE limited pets.
Thing's working for me,but TNT never did advertise this yet on NF....has they?
EDIT: nvm...I see the advertisment on the NF.

the download button isn't showing up on my IE and I have refreshed a few times now, have they stopped letting you download it?
anyone else thinks this looks like a glass pet? I think TNT will just use the old glass pet images for the frozen paint brush.

I just DLed mine about 10 mins ago.
I had to close IE twice before the Neopets image to appear.
Too bad my IE is known for making pop-ups and Neopets thing is doing jack to stop pop ups.
Hmmm I re-read the decription and I guess Bori will be common to adopt. People who DL this thing just get to adopt Bori a little early then others. Here's hoping for Bori from lab.

I just downloaded it. Doesn't take much memory nor room and plus I get a nice 1000nps, Frozen Paint Brush and a chance to get a Bori.

Yeah, they probably will. But they might alter them slightly to make them look different. It says that it will only work on Boris though. Does anyone know if it will still give you the p/b if you get it and uninstall it? I don't want the toolbar but i want the p/b

Maybe you should download it, get the P/B, then uninstall it...

Same with me. Just as well, I guess. There might be a few in the pound, if you really want one.

From what I've been reading, people who have the toolbar will have access to the new pet before the rest of the members, and the paint brush? I've heard that people with the toolbar will have a chance to get it first - not that they will just receive one.
I don't know anyone with either the pet or the pb, so it's all conjecture at least for me.
The boards are full of people saying there's spyware, and as I said earlier I have not and will not be d/l this toolbar. So I don't know if there is anything to that, though I do get privacy reports from the shop of offers. I have my cookie handling set to block all third party cookies. So ...
The regular yahoo toolbar that Shockwave snuck into their last update was completely incompatible with my ISP for one thing, and secondly Yes, my Spybot DID find (and stop the download of) tracking spyware on it - doubleclick, imrworldwide - which is part of redsheriff, atlasdmt and atdmt - all of which if you just search on Pest Patrol are known "pests".
To be honest, just about any d/l toolbar I've heard about either personally or through people I know who have d/l them seem to have deeply embedded tracking in it. How else would you get so much "entertaining" spam email?
On another note, that darned new icon on the Navigation sidebar is just making me insane! I've redone 1 sidebar I use, now I have I don't even know how many others I'll be asked to redo for people! ARGH! Of course, I can't find my notes with who has what, and what colors, font, size, etc. I used. At least my sidebars end at Logout - they're not the super long ones (which I think are now against the rules for covering/hiding the Shockwave thing, search, language and Link To Us).

did you install "my websearch" or did it install itself? in my experience a lot of malware comes with that particular toolbar, it messed up my friend's comp.
I got it with Smiley Central and I kept it because the Popup killer is excellent, the best I have incountered for free.

Zega, I just checked my SpywareBlaster and Spybot S&D - Mywebsearch is a hijacker (that's what Spybot has it listed as - Hijacker and revisionist - in other words it can change things on your computer) and is blocked/immunized against on both of those programs.
