Yea, how does one not have time to tell people, yet they have time to WRITE the filters? Sorry, that doesn't make much sense... At least Text Areas are coming back, that's good news :) I still want multi-variable links, but I doubt we'll get those...

It was probably one of those situations where the dev team swapped the filters over and didn't bother telling the community team about it until it was done. It happens a lot on game sites.

Which means they have horrid management. Pretty sad if that's a regular thing.

They do it at least once a year and I'm always baffled at the way people horribly whinge about it every time it happens. Surprise surprise, TNT did something without letting us know! Most of us aren't going to quit over them changing HTML filters, they know that. I don't think it really has anything to do with management. I'm sure management have more important things to worry about.

Looks like Auctions are also not working at the moment as mine have been showing as closed for over 3 hours now. I wanted to place some more up there before I go and checkout my eyelids but it looks like it aint gonna happen. Night night to the darkside of the planet and have a nice day to the lightside of the planet ;)

Is there anything else not working that people don't know about ?

Oh my goodness they are still not working All Auctions | My Auctioned Items | My Bids | Auction Genie | Help | Status Neopian Auction Status : roughly 11,267 auctions left to process. Average Wait Time : 67 minutes I got to laugh at the 67 minutes as I have been waiting around 10 hours for the auctions to complete so I can place more up.

I hotelled four of my pets earlier today, and two of them are still very hungry :( .. So i am guessing that's not working too well either

[quote=gwennie]I don't think it really has anything to do with management. I'm sure management have more important things to worry about.[/quote] It has entirely to do with 'management' the verb, not necessarily 'upper management' as in the noun like you're thinking. You're right, they know most people won't quit over those changes (in fact, we could probably count the number of people who will quit over that on one set of fingers and toes), BUT it's usually an indication of a larger problem. They've done other things even recently that should have been communicated to end users. I would more likely quit over 'a consistent neglect of interaction with users' than the filters themselves. At the same time, I have no intention of quitting right now either, but I would certainly make my opinion known too.
