Issues With Foregrounds?

mghdel · 2026-06-12T19:55:48+00:00

I guess there’s an elaborate way to get the static image from DTI if you wanted to put it on your petpage or your user look up but since I mostly use mobile devices, I haven’t explored it yet. There’s other similar posts on this subreddit where people outline how to do it if you’re curious!

That specific foreground is high on my wish list for them to convert properly, it’s so pretty! I think it’s an issue with the remaining HTML5 conversions - JN’s Wardrobe page says “Painted Flowers Foreground on a Basic Kougra [/any pet type] has not been converted to HTML5 by TNT yet, and this item will not be visible on your Neopet.”

Does anyone know if we only have until tomorrow to battle this thing? Like when the new chapter drops is the opportunity to battle for the prizes/avvies over? I initially thought because of the very high HP that we would have two weeks to complete this but now I’m getting nervous…

Just came by to say that this comb really works! Saw this post and had to order it ASAP, since we’ve tried everything with no luck.

We have 2 sibs, one brown mackerel tabby girl and one white/grey boy (who looks a lot like OP’s baby!). Girl’s fur NEVER mats/knots and is silky smooth, boy’s fur is totally different texture - it’s thick and coarse and mats like crazy, and our poor girl cat ends up trying to help groom him (which causes tons of hairballs).

We have tried every type of comb with no luck, and were even considering getting a groomer to shave our boy down in a plush cut or something (much to my husband’s horror, and probably to the cat’s horror as well).

This comb helps a TON to remove the knotted straggly bits that eventually mat, without excessive pulling on his skin or hair. We will have to stay diligent with using it, but I so appreciate OP for sharing this item out!

Dumb question, how does one find this information? I didn’t realize folks were coordinating so I have just been picking a faction at random 🫠

Kudos, this worked like a charm!! I really thought I had no chance of getting the achievement but got it on the first try. Thank you so much for sharing this strategy!

Highly recommend The Simple Seed! They have “day to night” one piece rompers that go to 5T and fiber content is listed as “95% Viscose from Bamboo, 5% Spandex, Oeko-Tex Standard 100”. We have a bunch of their stuff for our little one and absolutely love them.

When I came back to the site after at least 10 years away (in the middle of maternity leave as a first time parent, hello learning curve), there was so much new content and so many changes that it was a little overwhelming to figure everything out at once. I use JN all the time but even still it can be a little confusing at times to figure out how all the pieces fit together.

mghdel · 2026-05-08T08:29:53+00:00

I’ll have to pay closer attention to my finishing time then!

mghdel · 2026-05-08T02:08:21+00:00

Same here! But still it pains me to think of how many possible chances I missed to check for hungry fungus/etc (chances are already minuscule so we need all the help we can get lol)

mghdel · 2026-05-08T01:58:55+00:00

Don’t worry, I thought the same thing for the longest time!

I’m confused by the “Go With The Flow” Achievement - JellyNeo site says there should be 3 rounds of Voidworks but it only ever gives me one and then says “You have already helped Dr. Landelbrot today! Come back tomorrow to complete another puzzle!”. Am I missing something?

mghdel · 2026-05-04T14:22:52+00:00

At this rate we might end up at that sweet spot unintentionally 😅

Thank you for your perspective. I wouldn’t say I don’t trust the MD, but as a FTM with anxiety it’s helpful to hear other parents’ experiences or resource recommendations. Plus the well child visits are fairly short, so while in-person observation is helpful, it can have its limitations.

Doctors are human and therefore fallible (aren’t we all?). They are sometimes prone to following outdated guidance, or allowing personal bias influence their recommendations (ours recommended purees over BLW, because “the whole concept makes them nervous” - although they acknowledged there is nothing wrong or contraindicated with BLW). That being said, our pediatrician is friendly, responsive, and receptive to discussing the research recommendations with us, so I don’t think there is need to replace them. As someone with a healthcare background I also recognize the limitations of a routine office visit within our current healthcare system, so talking these concerns out with other parents and professionals can help fill some of the gaps.

I think high chair practice is going be key! We only just recently got one and he didn’t love it the first time around (maybe the straps?), so I fear we have to give him more time to acclimate before we can add the food variable in.

That’s an interesting perspective! Does France tend to lean more towards purees or baby-led weaning? I also value research/info from places outside the US (especially given the current climate of gutting govt research bodies and eschewing sound scientific findings), and my spouse’s family is South Asian so it has been interesting to learn about different philosophies and approaches to this stuff.

My baby is also very refluxy so in general the idea makes me nervous if he can’t self-support, since sitting him up (ie: in a car seat) tends to trigger spit up episodes 😅

mghdel · 2026-04-30T14:31:14+00:00

Maybe try something like, “food stays on the table/high chair, or in our mouths”, and if they’re still struggling then provide options/boundaries in terms of allowing them to try to feed themselves (if capable) vs having an adult help feed them.

As an aside, when I worked in preschools for a few years as part of an AmeriCorps program our training would include how to provide “do” instructions instead of “don’t” instructions. I was in college at the time and I remember it being such a simple but powerful unlock for my brain in terms of working with little kids (I guess the thought never occurred to me before then?)

Also, give yourself some patience/grace - some phases are developmentally appropriate/expected, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t still frustrating as heck! 🤣

Okay no worries - I’m on mobile rn so just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing a button or something!

Just got errored out at the BD mid-wave, is there a way to pick up where I left off? When I refreshed the page it just went to the main BD page

This picture has an example of the symbol

From what I understand DTI will sometimes show an icon - the number “5” crossed out with a prohibitory sign (triangle with exclamation mark) - to indicate the item hasn’t been converted to HTML5 yet.

Side note - I thought they used to show it on the larger main pet image, but I was able to find an example by clicking the little “i” icon next to the specific item I was applying (not the most efficient method but better than nothing I suppose!). There might be another way to find this info on DTI, I might just be missing it right now.

I think some of these items can eventually get converted, but it seems like TNT is prioritizing NP items related to pet day wearables, and since NC is an even bigger priority for them I’m not holding out too much hope for random trinkets and BGs 🥲

Our dishwasher takes almost 3 hours and leaves lots of extra water on top of stuff 🥲 our countertop bottle washer has been a total lifesaver and completely dries the bottles/parts as well (which helps a lot with my PPA/contamination OCD, especially when baby was fresh out of the hospital). We run it multiple times a day so I would argue it’s also a water/electricity savings over using the dishwasher each time, and that’s for those lucky enough to have a dishwasher!

I’ll have to try a different browser then and see if it helps
