The Revival of the Tutenstein topic.

Thu Oct 07, 2004 10:59 pm

Okay, I have officially grown to loathe the Tutenstein ad due to how it screws up the site. Unlike other ads, the Tutenstein ad can appear twice in a row (if you get it on a page, then refresh, it can show up again). It is beyond annoying with how it screws up the page, and depending on when it occurs, it could prevent you from buying something in a shop, losing a transferred pet, and who knows what else. We all need to report it to TNT and tell them to either fix it or take it off the site (preferably the latter). If a mass of people reports it, they'll hopefully get the idea. Also, sponsored ads aren't on the site for just a few days, they're usually on for a couple of weeks. That means weeks of frustrations for us. So do us all a favor and report it!

Okay, I am missing something.. can someone get a screenshot of this ad? I have no idea what it looks like, I have never got it.

Ditto on Medli. No idea what you're talking about. o_0

Here is the Tutenstein ad. It sometimes freezes pages for me too.

Is this for something else besides Neopets or is this a Neopets game?

It's a Neopets Sponsor game.

It's a sponsor ad. When the bug occurs, it makes it so that only the part of the menu that contains the ad and the part of the menu above the ad is displayed, and besides that, only the neopets logo at the top center of the screen is displayed. All the rest is blank. In shops... well, it really goes wack in shops.

Thanks for posting it, Neopets Addict.

I've never encountered the Tutenstein ad, not that I know of anyway (I hardly ever look at the ads when I'm navigating the site). I'm guessing it doesn't pop up that often, which is a good thing.
By the way, what in the world is Tutenstein anyway? It appears to be a combination of an Egyptian mummy and Frankenstein's monster...and that's just weird.

Yeah, it sounds like a cross between Tutankhamen and Frakenstein. Have never got it before though.

Tutenstein is some weird cartoon that airs on the Disney channel or something. Bleh. -_-

Yeah, that screwed me up before, but it seems to have stopped... *goes to knock on wood* *sees no wood* ... *knocks on computer monitor*

That is what happens. Very annoying, especially when you are trying to restock. :x

I get it too! It's so annoying when it loads a blank page and you have to refresh a couple times for the page to show up :x

That thing is just scary in general. Like an old dead mummy who sets a curse on you whenever his ad shows up. :roll:

It's soooo annoying! It either makes the page completely blank, or moves whatever I'm doing down. Sure, I just have to refresh, but it's annoying as heck!
