At the moment, the NC Mall is having a Super Sale! This means items are sold at half of their original price. After this sale ends, the items for sale will retire and you'll not be able to buy them anymore. At the moment, it's the clothes that are on Super Sale until 9/28. If there's anything you'd like to have, here's you chance to buy it at a great price.
Also, last year with Halloween, 50 Neocash was given away for free. Keep in mind Neocash will expire after a year (you will get random items of the same value in return though), so if you haven't spend your free Neocash yet, keep an eye on the Super Sale. It might be a great chance to buy something you couldn't afford otherwise.
You surely wouldn't want to miss out on these lovely warm socks, now wouldn't you?

Faerieland has had a makeover! And the Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity has also had a little makeover. Visit him and you might get a nice surprise, maybe a plushie or a few neopoints. It looks like this is a new daily activity.
Aww, so sad!
Also, there are reports of problems sending neomail at the moment, and guild message boards are a little glitchy, too. It's not just you! This seems to have been a very brief issue, fixed now.
Aww, so sad!
It appears the coding filter glitch has been corrected. You should be able to update your coding again for petpages, lookups, shops, etc. Some commands are still not working: position, visibility, display, margin, and opacity.
Clarification: These coding elements have been blocked by filters for a while now, but users figured out workarounds. The workarounds are not working anymore, so it's not technically a glitch. There is a reported workaround for these elements, but it only works in Internet Explorer, not in all other browsers.
Oops!

Rumour has it that TNT is working on making changes to Lutari Island. The description of the island has changed to this:
Lutari Island used to be a place that could only be accessed by users of Neopets Mobile. Neopets Mobile has been discontinued not so long ago, and the island can now no longer be accessed. So maybe it is true and they are trying to find a new purpose for the island. We might find out soon!
While you wait to find out, you can read our newest guide about Lutari Island and Lutari Beads.
Will the clouds ever disappear for all users?
| A mysterious island floats around the oceans of Neopia. It's never in the same place twice, which makes it quite difficult to track, and all the more intriguing. The mysterious island of Lutari is currently being pummeled by an unusually large storm! Between the whirlpools, water spouts and lightning it has been advised that no Neopets are allowed to visit its shores. Even the sea life seems to be staying away... |

The Kid Cuisine Grand Prize can now be collected. The item is a Private Rocketship, neohome (neogarden) item. At this time, it does not display properly in the home. Check out our guide for the locations of all the postcards. You have until September 21 to collect them all. Thanks to everyone who sent us tips on this.
Haven't you always wanted your own personal rocketship?
Update: It appears TNT is messing with the filters again.
If you're trying to edit a petpage, lookup, petlookup - or basically anything that can have edited coding from what I can tell - you won't be able to save it if somewhere in that code is a link starting with "http://".

This includes links - even to neopets.com! We don't know of a workaround for neopets image links at this time, but links to other pages of the neopets site should be okay. Instead of using "http://www.neopets.com/island/tradingpost.phtml" you should be able to use "/tradingpost.phtml".
As far as we know, there is no way to get around this as of yet. Content that you already have saved should be safe. If you're looking to update something, I suggest saving the coding and waiting until this issue is resolved!
NEW Update!
A message from TNT on a locked board:
| We are very aware of the current issues and are working as quickly as possible to get this resolved. Please be patient! |
So sit tight guys! This is infact a temporary issue!
Techo Day is coming up on September, 13th and here are a preview of the new Desert and Electric Techo that will be released. Thanks to neocolours.de

If you have collected all the postcards on neopets.com, you should get a popup showing you are eligible for the grand prize. At this time, everyone is getting the message "an error has occurred, please try again later." You have until September 21st to complete the postcard hunt. Check out our Kid Cuisine guide for the locations of all the postcards so far.
Update: Also, a very small number of Draiks have been available to create today. This is quite unusual, Draiks are usually not available for creation even on Draik Day. Good luck!
