Another Item Deleted
- Posted by Dave

UPDATE: The item has now reappeared. We'll keep you updated if any more items randomly disappear.
Seems as if another item has been deleted from Neopets entirely. The Diorama of Petpetpets Celebrating the Holidays (an Advent item from 7 years ago) is now MIA.
This is the same case as the fortune cookies from a week ago--the item no longer is searchable on the Shop Wiz, and if you own the item, it'll appear as blank and imageless in your SDB, gallery, shop, inventory, etc.
Last time the items were restored within the day, so we expect this one to be fixed soon. If you notice the item returning, post a comment on this news post to let us know.

Battledome Glitched - Causing Other Glitches

UPDATE 3: As of Monday, August 10th, the Battledome is back up and functioning.
UPDATE 2: TNT have posted on their message board about the glitch:
UPDATE: The Battledome has been taken down, meaning they are working on it and no one else should be affected by the glitch. If you are already suffering from it, however, everything will still be broken.
Today you may be noticing several glitches affecting different areas of the site. If you try and start a fight in the Battledome you will now get an error message, and reloading that page results in the Battledome becoming a blank page.
However, the glitch does not stop there. Because many things on Neopets check if you are in a battle, these things also break once your Battledome glitches. You will be locked out of the Healing Springs which will also become a blank page. Feeding your Neopets will become impossible. Any Faerie Quests will result in blank quests (which lock you out of use of both Shop Wizard and Super Shop Wizard, since they cannot be cancelled). You may wish to avoid activating Faerie Quest Cookies until that is fixed if you have the BD glitch.
The upshot of all this - until this is fixed, we recommend you AVOID THE BATTLEDOME, since only trying to start a battle causes all this.
We'll keep you up to date as these are fixed, as always.
UPDATE 2: TNT have posted on their message board about the glitch:
The Battledome will be unavailable for about a day to allow our team to perform some general maintenance on this area of the site. These updates are exclusive to resolving recent reports of errors that some of you have been facing while attempting to start battles, in addition to cases where Neopets have been getting stuck in the Battledome.
We are so sorry for the inconvenience and will update you once the Battledome is back online_ Thanks for bearing with us!
