Alas! TNT recently disallowed a big list of words which are commonly used in petlookups, userlookups, galleries, petpages and shops. They did this to prevent scammers from placing a picture of a Paint Brush over a Pile of Dung.

Due to this change most of our premade graphics won't work anymore. Luckily TNT let pre-existing codes alone, so your lookups will still look the same. However you can't change your existing lookups.

The following words are now added to the filters:
visibility
position
display
opacity
margin
margin-left
margin-top
margin-right
margin-bottom
and the list continues with some other words.

Currently we don't have a fix for our codings. For now we will wait if TNT tackles the scam and will change the filters again, so we can have nice lookups again.

Update: I was told you can circumvent the filter by prefixing it with a # symbol. I haven't had the time to test if this works in Firefox. It does however seem to work in Internet Explorer

Update: Prefixing the words with a # symbol works for IE but messes the lookup for Firefox, so there is no universal fix yet.
It also seems you can not update anything else in your profile, without 'fixing' your lookup code.


Update: Prefixing the words with a # symbol works, but thanks to TNT adding none,inline, hidden etc to the filters, even for IE the lookups are messed up. For now there is no fix for any browsers anymore

It also seems you can not update anything else in your profile, without 'fixing' your lookup code.

Thanks to everyone notifying us of this problem.
