*Passes a plate of spooky donuts* Hey CQ! I had a question about submitting articles to the NT. If I wanted to put images in the article, is there a specific way I'd have to code it? With brackets or just the URL? I'm pretty confused. Thanks! ~ natashajean09
hmppfh mmph... whoops, note to self: eat donuts, THEN answer. Anywho, onto your question! To include images in your article, the correct code is [img src="IMAGE URL"]. Just include that in your article and I'll make it happen!

Hey CQ! I sometimes use different computers and my mobile device to long on to neo. Is this against the rules? I see how people put messages on their userlookups explaining that they use multiple computers and asking not to freeze them. Will I get frozen when I use my different computers and mobile device? I know I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't want to be frozen. Please remove my username. ~ username removed
I myself log in on several different devices to keep track of things - it's 2016, people have phones, tablets, computers, etc. that they want to check on their pets on! We know this, we're not going to freeze you for using multiple devices.

Hi, I am a long-time player of Neopets, and for just have long have considered writing for the Neopian Times. As an autistic user, I sort of wondered if I could write a story about a pet with that same disorder. It would be a short story about how the reclusive pet deals with a stressful situation and ends up making a new friend. My question was if this sort of story is allowed. *pulls out complimentary gummy bears* ~ _beforedawn_
*Takes a gummy bear* Mmm, thanks! Many people, autistic or not, struggle with stressful situations, and as long as it is written respectfully, it sounds like a lovely story to include in a future issue!

*arrives with giant bag o'cookies* Any new news on fixing the Gallery ranking system? It is really disappointing, having spent 15 years creating a beautiful arrangement, only to have it shuffled into ugliness. (Many thanks for any efforts toward a fix.) ~ garlic_is_good
Mmm so many treats this Halloween issue! I'm lovin it. Anyyyyway, we are looking into it and working on getting some issues with gallery ranking worked out as soon as we can!

Hi CQ *waves* a while back there was a dress in the news Little Hearts Dress? Can you tell me if it's been activated? I've been checking the Clothing Shop, Shop Wizard and Trading Post and can't find one and was really hoping to use it for Halloween *cries* ~ daisybaby11
Whoops! It was activated, but the rarity was set a bit too high, making it hard to find! I've fixed that for you, so start keeping an eye out going forward!

Places Not to Go Trick-Or-Treating
It’s Halloween so that means it’s time for trick-or-treating! But before you do it’s a smart idea to plan your route and know exactly where you’re going ahead of time, that way you don’t get lost and can get the most candy as possible. And also so you know who NOT to go to.

The Unwinding of Hannah
As she entered the Haunted Woods, a kind of hushed fog whispered through the trees. It snaked through branches and whispered dark nothings into the tree’s ears. A rush of air seemed to roar in her ears, tricking her, mocking her. Her heart pounded in response, beating against her chest, seeking freedom and fresh air.

Casting a Shadow: Part Four
Late that night, Asilvani lay there in the living room, wide awake and staring at the ceiling. It was 3 AM, and she hadn’t slept at all. She was wallowing in guilt after everything Jimbigy had said to her earlier.

Edna's Cosplay
Whether you love or hate her, Edna is a well-known character around Neopia. She is most famous for her quests, and also commonly associated with Halloween because of the way she looks and where she lives. Even though, as the Neopedia says, she’s “older than mouldy cheese”, she deserves to have some fun once in a while and act like a young Neopian again.

The Truth About Clowns
At the beginning of Autumn, the clowns started to appear. They came out at night mostly. They would stand in the middle of the street, and watch you. They would peer into windows. You might find them looming in the dark at a park, at the local shop - anywhere and everywhere they appeared.
