ProTip: If you ever get a Chocolate Ice Cream off this, it's worth 40k-ish. This is because it can be combined with other neggs to make neggs worth more at the neggery. (Primarily, with the Purple Negg, which is worth 2 negg points, to create the Punegg, which is worth 9 negg points. The Purple Negg is also STUPIDLY inflated because of this.)

Maybe it is not really may?

Chocolate Dipped Peophin Cookie
Blueberry Fish Pop
Maggot Stew
Chicken Cordon Bleu

All disgusting.

I'll turn a blind eye to the double post. Mostly be because I am feeling lazy today and have a headache. For what it is worth, it you edit (your own) last post in a thread, I have a mod that updates the post date to current and marks it as new If memory serves, it was a request from Siniri a long while back.

ETA: I fixed the double post on June 1st, 2023

[Siniri]

Yep, I always view PPT through active threads, and your post shows up there after editing it, with the time of the most recent edit.

Also, to stay on topic, the cookie's probably not that bad, Blue -- at least not as bad as carawool!

[Blue]

Agreed. The cookie is probably fine, but meh.

For some reason if a post is edited, at least for me, it does show as new within the forum it's in (Neopets Chat/Neopian Plot Council/etc), but doesn't show it as a new post within each forum from the main Board Index page....which is how I usually go look for new posts. I remembered that in the past, I've copied out the post I wanted to edit along with the time it was originally posted, then deleted it, created a new post, copied the previous last post data in, and added stuff to the end. I'm trying to remember to do that again instead of double posting to make sure the post shows "new" on the board index.

[Blue]

I like the active topics page because it shows only what people have posted to recently, whether or not I've participated in the thread. I sometimes have to change it to past week for the obelisk (or past month for the freebies page, unless someone beats me to it, as happened today), but other than that, I find it the easiest way to quickly see everything you guys have posted.

For what its worth, my bookmark for PPT Forums is the Active Topics page. I do need to occasionally look at the main page in case there are new posts that need approved. (As an anti-spam measure, any new member must have their first 10 posts personally approved by yours truly).

[Pickles]

Almost forgot...but it's July 1st!

Fresh Seaweed Pie

Stone Soup
Sherbet Lemon Chia Pop

I don't think I've ever used the "active topics" option. I usually just go to the main board page...

Tagobo Potion
Yam-Lime Pizza

Toe Nail Soup
...and 2,000NP!

Blech.

Active Topics is actually my only bookmark for PPT Forums:
search.php?search_id=active_topics

I need to remember to go to the "main" (index) page now and again to see if there are new member posts that need to be approved. One of my anti-spam measures is to personally approve the first 10(?) posts of a new member. Since 99% of the new member posts are spam, checking for them frequently has not been a priority.
