And also, sometimes, they don't show up at all, and sometimes they do. So it is really random and annoying to never now when it will or will not be there when your restocking and have to scroll up or not.

I just love how they put this with the announcement on the news page. Hmmmmm.... somehow I just don't believe them. I'm still waiting for the ads to appear in the item lookups. Or better yet, getting more adware from them.![]()
And for those of us that are technologically impaired... will getting firefox affect anything important on the way the computer loads? Is it difficult to set up? just wanted to know before I started following all the directions on the posts. Thanks

I keep getting stupid annoying Ebay ads down the bottom, too. >_>;

You can just use asterisks as wildcards to block all ads from a same source.

Best-case? They realize that the wiser players are blocking the new ads, too, and so they just live with it and get on with their lives.
Nah, I think it has room to get worse.
Next up, neopets will scrap making the "Mok" the newest pet species in Neopia, and we'll all be forced to adopt one of these:
Hey, stop looking at me funny...
...it could happen....nothing they do will shock me at this point.
ya know, at this point i wouldn't be a bit surprised!
