Can anyone else not see the image? All I see is a big huge space, and then I scroll down and I see her info and that's it. I tried just looking her up, and it's a totally different layout, and I also can't see the picture.

There's the link to it.

There's a large space above the stats for me as well.

Only difference in her real lookup is the color.

I wonder how that won at all. :roll:

Unless it's been glitched...

If you look at the preview-thingy they put on the User Lookup Spotlight page I think it had a Nightsteed sidebar.

A lot of not-so-good contest entries have been winning lately. D: I'm going to enter my gelert's page in Site Spotlight once it's finished. I'm working really hard on it, though, some of these people look they barely put any effort into it and they still won. :roll:

Very odd. I went to the user's regular lookup, not the one saved for the spotlight, and it looks about the same (in both IE and Firefox), except the bg color:

That just can't be right.

[edit: I've determined that the real problem is that my company's proxy server blocks the site that hosts the user's images. They're being hosted on http://mars.walagata.com/ .]

I think somebody should neomail her and say that she should maybe upload them to photobucket so more people can see them.

Won't work. The code that Neo displays for the entry can't be changed anymore. It's separate from the winner's current userlookup code.

Darn. Well, still, I can't see the image in her current lookup, either. It might help her in the future when she makes other lookups if people can actually see them. XD

They worked when I first looked, but it looks like the winner took down the graphics. I guess you are not required to maintain your lookup graphics after you win.

maybe she just hit a bandwidth limit.. I imagine that would be pretty easy w/ the amount of people checking out her look-up

everconfused · #12 Post by **everconfused** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 9:29 pm

The lookup was there last night, I saw it - honest!

As far as bandwidth, if that had been exceeded you should see those awful bandwidth notices on the lookup. So, maybe she's in the midst of changing it now that she won?

D: Aww. I never got to see it! She took it down like, 3 seconds after she won. When was it posted that she won? I think I had to get off sometime after 8:00 last night.

But wait - if the image is saved onto the lookup spotlight, and can't be changed, how could she have taken it down? I don't mean her actual lookup (like if you search her name), but Neopets always saves the winning lookup so everybody can see it, right?

Actually, it is up, it just took ages to load, I went and played a little Maple, it was there when I came back... I'll get an image up.

Really? On my computer it said everything was done loading (without the image). I'll leave it up and see what happens.
