Would it be possible to rezone the Elegant Feather Gloves to... well, Gloves? Right now they're both Right-hand Item and Left-hand Item, precluding my precious pet from holding anything while wearing them, and being layered over her hair. Please and thank you :)~sapphire_sapphic
Hello and thanks for writing in! We have fixed this issue and now your precious pet can hold whatever she pleases while still wearing her Elegant Feather Gloves! Happy Customising!

Hi TNT. I was wondering if you could fix the festive Skeith styles? The og festive, cocoa and tinsel all seem to only have a single eyeball. Its a bit disconcerting and likely problematic for the poor Skeiths. Thanks so much.~anonymous
Hey there! It might seeeem like they have a missing eyeball, but the Festive Skeiths are just being extra sneaky-like, with that other pupil super squeezed in the corner! We’ll make sure they aren’t too sneaky in the future, though. 0.e

Hello, TNT! Could we please get a separate tab on the News page for NC Mall news? Or have "Latest News" and "NC Mall News" side-by-side with separate scrollbars, perhaps? There are days where there is almost no actual news and the entire page just gets clogged up with NC Mall news. "And even more NC Mall news! But wait, there's even more NC Mall News!!" with giant images of everything. It's a bit overwhelming and it makes it hard to go back and find the regular news article you're looking for. Thank you for considering!~xantaquana
Hello! Oof, yea the NC Mall News is quite lengthy these days… We have just implemented a quick fix for this. Check out the New Features page to see the NC Mall News has now been abbreviated! Hope this is helpful and less overwhelming <3

Hi TNT, I wanted to offer you all a nice cup of Rosemary Mushroom Tea, but I noticed a little mistake on the label. The description reads, "This strange tea actaully has mushrooms growing out of it...", but I think the correct spelling of the word is actually "actually".~astrangespirit

Hello TNT! I was featured in a comic in NT Issue 1031, alongside a Neofriend of mine and the comic artist. The comic artist was the one who submitted the entry, and when you click the NT Trophy on their lookup or search the NT archive for their username, the Comic will show up in the search, but when you search my or my neofriend's username, that comic never appears with our names on it. It's not a huge deal for me, since I have multiple NT Trophies, but this is my NF's first entry and when you click the Trophy on their userlookup, nothing shows up. It's like the Comic never existed to begin with. Is there a way to fix it? Taking into consideration that the Trophy count is corrent for us ... Please remove my username.~darkobsession
Hi there! Sorry for the issue! We have looked into it, and your Neofriend should now be able to see the entry when looking up their username :) Thanks for bringing it up to our attention!

Salutations, TNT. A few of us over at the Pound Chat were having a discussion about trading an untaken pet name for another pet that already exists. Would this be against the rules? Can you neomail someone a list of untaken pet names as an offer on an existing pet? If they happen to like one of the names, could you -legally- trade them the untaken name for their pet? Please shed some light on this~anonymous
Hello there! Pets can only be directly traded for other existing Neopets, for both users' protection. Since there is risk with offering untaken names that can possibly be created by ANY user within the time it takes to come to a trade agreement, we don’t recommend offering or accepting trades like this until the pet is actually created. ~~Fae

The Storytelling Competition is notoriously EXTREMELY difficult to get into and there seems to be a very small group of the same users who get in every single time. I would like to plead with staff to only allow the same user to be featured in the Storytelling Competition once per story. This would align with the rules for the other creative contests, such as Poetry and Art Gallery and even the Neopian Times, that only allow the same user to be featured once per issue/theme. In the current story, there are TWO different users that have both been featured twice. There are a lot of players, including myself, that enter every single day and have never been featured. It is extremely frustrating and disheartening to spend hours on entries, just to constantly get rejected while others are getting chosen multiple times for the same story. PLEASE consider making this very overdue change to the Storytelling Competition.~barrelchic22
Hi there!
We always try to accept new user submissions when we can, however, there are multiple factors that also play into this such as the number of received submissions per day, whether the content is original/non-AI and the continuity of the plot based on the previous entry. Because Storytelling is spread out over two weeks, users may only win twice per story period. This is in line with other contests.
If you find your entry being repeatedly denied, please ensure you’re not using a third-party grammar or spellchecker as this can trigger our AI detection.
Thank you!

Hi TNT! Hope you've been well. I'm writing to you to ask about the Gallery Spotlight - I have gotten a mail saying my entry has been held over and that entering again is not a good idea at that point. How long should I wait before assuming I was rejected or accepted? As far as I know, we don't get rejection mails, and I want to know when/if I should consider that my entry is rejected so I can try entering again. :) Thank you! ~simbologies
Hello there!
Our apologies as these Neomails were automatically sent out by accident as we were doing a purge of old entries. Rest assured that if you received this Neomail, we did in fact hold your entry over so there is no need to resubmit at this time. We have since fixed this, as that is an outdated Neomail and process that we no longer use, however, you will still be notified if you are a winner!

Hello TNT! Is Tyrannian Niptor meant to be a paintable colour? Our Brushes don't affect it at the Puddle, and it hasn't yet been seen for sale as an unpaintable Petpet at the Petpet shop you linked on May 12 for release. Let us know if we're supposed to be excavating it from the rocks somewhere. Thanks! ~queensrook
Hi!
We are aware of some bugs happening with Tyrannian Petpets at the Petpet Puddle and we are actively looking into fixes. We appreciate your patience as we attempt to fix these issues.

Hi! So I think I speak for a lot of Neopians when I say I am thoroughly enjoying the petpet wearables! I realized, however, that drawing & entering the pet in the BC would probably be an issue if I'm entering an Aisha (for example) as a giant Doglefox. Or is this okay? Thanks for all you guys do ♥ ~milkshakeboys
Thank you for bringing this question up! Entering a Petpet in the Beauty Contest as a Neopet Species, like Aisha, etc., will not be accepted. We appreciate your understanding.

Hi, the Blumaroo Mage Cloak currently has a black bar/line associated with it between the Blumaroo legs. Would really appreciate if this could be removed as it currently means the item can't be used with any other shirt/dress or pants on Blumaroos without this conspicuous black line appearing. It would be a shame because the item is drawn so beautifully! Thanks :)~_doomsday_

There are lots of fun guilds on this site, but I have a question regarding their recruitment practices. If a guild advertises itself as "all female" or "all male," and rejects people that aren't the right gender, is that discriminatory, and therefore against the inclusive spirit of the site? Thanks for answering this question! ~indulgences
Rejecting members based on personal attributes such as gender, identity, race, class, nationality, or similar traits is exclusionary and not permitted. Instead of labeling a guild as “female-only” or “male-only,” consider creating a supportive space like “Guild for Women Empowerment” or “Pride Power.” These types of groups can center specific communities while remaining welcoming to allies. As long as a guild does not explicitly reject people based on who they are, and fosters a respectful, inclusive environment, it aligns with the community values we uphold.

Hi! The new “Ethereal Pearlescent Body Highlighter” has visual glitches when worn by my Aisha (and I assume other pets). On the animated pet lookup, a random question mark shows up, and in the static image, the wig and contacts disappear or layer incorrectly. It looks so off, which is such a shame because the highlight itself is absolutely gorgeous :( ~anikalex
Hello! We are aware there are some layering issues with this body paint and are working with our artists to fix it! Because body paints don’t function like Pet colours (hence why "Be-Gone!" items do not work with them), unforeseen visual bugs sometimes do pop up, but thank you so much for your patience as we look into it. ~~Luna

Hello TNT. I wanted to thank you for putting Lutari Island beads in the Quest Log. There's one little problem, though. The sixteen you've added aren't the only ones! There are Green, Yellow, Blue, and Red Tongi Beads which need to be added (and made tradeable.) Please consider this, TNT, and thank you! ~triarthrus_eatoni
Hi! You’re right, we are missing a few beads, but after rummaging through our crafting drawers we haven’t been able to find them… because we’ve put them in a special place so we remember to use them later! I can’t say what exactly they’ll be used for or when we’ll be releasing them, but we do have plans to use them for something exciting in the future. In the meantime, we’re glad you’re enjoying the beads we have released! Keep collecting, fellow Lutari fans <3 ~~Jewel

How long does it take before you can enter your gallery again if you already won. I have a never ending item gallery that is over 3500 items and I will never stop adding to it. I won a couple of years ago and would like to enter again but it says I already won the gallery. There never used to be this but it is like this now. Is there a time it will open again or am I out of luck? ~nashie363comesback
Hello! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Likely because your gallery has won previously, the submission system may think that you’re trying to resubmit the same one. Perhaps the Meepits got into some wires…we will investigate but in the meantime, please feel free to submit a CS ticket if you haven’t already! ~~Adler
