Neopets Turns 18!
Pepper-Head posted a topic in News & Updates,
Despite this milestone, nothing extra special was released so far this week (except for a free NC Mall goodie bag), but they are gearing up for their first plot in years that should happen any day now.
Jumpstart has hired a full time HTML5 developer and have begun revamping the old Flash games behind the scenes in preparation for 2020 when Flash won't be supported anymore, they've added a 5th (6th for Premium users) pet slot, and acknowledged that a new layout is definitely needed.
What are some fond memories you have on Neopets, and what do you hope for in the future?

Rendering pets as layers?
Dinocanid posted a topic in Coding and Programming,
I've recently gotten Imagick and I'm playing around with it on my XAMMP server (Can use GD also), but I'm not really sure how to do this particular thing. I know the different markings and such are stored in the database, but where is the image handled? Is it done in another php file and called where you want it? How would that work for multiple pets and users? I haven't found a way to both render an image and display it along with other content in the same file, if that's even possible.

Facebook // for Business
Aminirus posted a topic in Tutorials and Guides,
Hello there, I am Aminirus.
I've used facebook for many years now and thus have learned many of its ins and outs when it comes to using one for business endeavors. Facebook and other social media are listed as some of the top sources of helping promote, market, and even inform your clients, members, and players about your business, game, website, or whatever else comes to mind. Before I get started, I'm going to let you know that not everything in this guide may be full proof. The information I offer is from my own personal experience with using Facebook for my game Wild Howlz and for promoting myself as an artist. I also have experience with helping others to create and run Facebook for coaching and writing.

MySQLi for Beginners
PaulSonny posted a topic in Tutorials and Guides,
Most of the sites you visit these days have some sort of database storage behind them. Most sites that use PHP will opt to use a MySQL database. You are able to interact with your MySQL database using the MySQLi class.
MySQLi will only work with a MySQL database, whereas if you were to use PDO, it will work with various different database systems. MySQLi can be coded via objected oriented or procedural. Today I am going to be looking at the object orientated approach.

Emoticons and Blogging, and more, oh my!
Digital posted a topic in News & Information,
So, here are some additional updates:
Many more emoticons!
I have added a ton of new emoticons to the forums including a bunch of food and creature related emoticons.
As you will see, more then one usergroup can display.
What this means that if you are more then just an artist, you can belong to more then one Core Member group and have it display, same rules apply though. The guides are being reworked and will be re-released shortly to update these programs.
Game Clubs now have a In Development switch, and Blogs!
I went ahead and added blogs to the community here, so now Game Clubs can have their own blogs as well as forums for sharing information and news. For those of you who have personal blogs, our Blog system here can actually re-syndicate your blog feeds into your blogs here. I will have a guide up soon on the blogging feature if anyone expresses interest in a blog outside of Game Clubs.
