It appears that you can now visit your own UL without getting captcha'd.

Inventory is back and I do have the DD items!  Sounds like as JS fixes one problem they cause another. |

The captcha thing makes the behind the scenes work at Lost and Pound really difficult  ; I'm hoping they remove it from pets in the pound. |

Yeah, I see a number of petpage based adoption agencies and the like have already closed - I hope Lost and Pound doesn't have to go the same way  In a way, it's good that JS have used Google's captcha, since it is more secure and harder to break than others. However, it's also adaptive, as people are already noticing. Effectively, the more times you see a captcha, the harder/longer it gets. Your first time, you're probably only going to encounter a checkbox. But before long you'll have a series of captchas that are far more complex and time consuming. It's not going to stop any cheating in this form - since as I said the userlookup/pet lookup botting was only for gathering lists of things on accounts, and most of those details can still be accessed through other, non-captchaed links. It also doesn't appear to have vastly reduced lag, as far as I've experienced? Seems to get worse on weekends so I guess we'll see on Saturday. |

So for the last few days now the Daily Trivia has been the same. This is rather baffling as the questions have been based on the Daily Dare games so I thought throughout Daily Dare we'd have a new question every day. So what happened? Heck, I could come up with some questions right now:
Extreme Herder:
What is Samrin's profession?
Why is Balthazar going after Samrin's Petpets?
What does the Orange Orb do in Extreme Herder?
Piper Panic:
What Petpet is the Jubjub piper performing with?
What concert band is the Piper Panic Jubjub piper from?
What instrument is the Piper Panic Jubjub piper using?
Sutek's Tomb:
Who was Sutek?
What was Sutek praised for?
What is Sutek's tomb in the shape of?
S.M.E.L.T.:
Who is Moltara's top tinkerer?
What is Tangor cutting pieces out of in S.M.E.L.T.?
Who are Tangor's clients?

Same thing that's happened every other time its been the same  Someone forgot to add new questions. I don't want to be too critical of JS running several events back to back, since it makes Neopets more interesting, but that's to blame. More or less since the Daily Dare started one thing or another has been falling by the wayside. There's only so much they seem to be able to keep up with at once, and running an event with daily updates seems to put too much strain at the moment. |

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and commend them for all the events they've been doing. And I would understand if after the Daily Dare there weren't any new Daily Trivia questions. But during it when the last batch of questions were based off the Daily Dare game of the day? They stopped at Day 15, why didn't whoever made the questions do the other 5? |

Neo now has an "other" option for user profiles. Woohoo! That's great! I really wanted this option for a while - not for me, necessarily, but for those who don't identify with a gender or those who don't feel comfortable sharing their real gender. |

Or whose real gender doesn't fit in either "Male" or "Female", at that. (I must say it's a bit odd that they're called "Robot" on the user lookup and "Unknown" on the boards and "Sir" in the bank, though...) |
