FAQ

I actually only have two subjects that crop up a lot, so this is a rather short FAQ. If you have a question you think should be added to it, Neomail me.

• Isn't this against the rules?

  No, it isn't. According to Editorial 190 and Editorial 230, "Programs that do not affect the game play, such as ad block, do not give a player an unfair advantage and therefore can be used." You will not be frozen
  (or sued) for blocking the advertisements.

• I have Mozilla Something, which one should I choose up there?

  Mozilla Suite (here, "Mozilla"), Mozilla Firefox, and Seamonkey, though all made by Mozilla, are not the same browsers and their instructions will not work for each other. Make sure you are following the correct instructions for your browser. You can see which one you have by going to Help: About.

Here's an old linkback image so you can see the aesthetic atrocities I used to force upon you poor people:

This image may be resized by editing the width= and height= values. It's in a lossless format so there should be no problems if you keep the dimensions proportional.

Extras

You can add these to your ad-block stylesheet to further customize the website.

This will hide the sidebar containing the Neofriend list and your active pet:

Screenshot	Code
(drag to address bar to enlarge)	.sidebar {: none !important;}

This will widen threads ('topics') on the Neoboards to occupy the space that the ad to the right used to fill:

Screenshot	Code
(drag to address bar to enlarge)	#boards_table {width: 90% !important;}

These are the most common, relevant, or likely to be used customizations, but remember that you can tweak any element to your preferences. Be aware, however, that user styles apply to all web sites, not just Neopets, so you may have undesirable effects such as an element named .sidebar on another site failing to appear.

Why You Should Use This Guide
