Hey,
I noticed you guys stopped using the Neopets ID number on the site.. just wondering if this is a permanent change? I found that having access to the ID was extremely useful, I'm really hoping it's not being dropped altogether.
Thanks,
Cyth

It is permanent because people have been copying the info from this site to put on others. Sorry.

Well, that just totally stinks. I had been wondering about why the ID numbers changed suddenly. I maintain an off-line (private) database for my own personal use. I laboriously changed all the numbers by hand to match the "new" ID numbers. Now I find that they aren't ID numbers at all. *SIGH* My database has 4,000 records in it! Gee, I wish I had made a backup before I started changing all of them . . . or used a new field . . . or something. Crickey.

I re-read my post and have to remind myself never to post in anger. another *SIGH* I do appreciate that neoitems is here and it is an invaluable reference tool. I'm more mad at myself for being so dumb that I typed over all the original ID numbers I had entered (in my database) rather than saving them first. Hmm. Nothing like starting over again, I guess.

So if this is permanent, so why do people still recieve Neomails with questions about the Neo ID?

Because we are still collecting the Neopets IDs and ordering the site like that, it is just that most people can only see the neoitems ID, not the Neopets ID.
Webbie still adds items to the database using the Neopets ID.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, Webbie)

Starry is right - we still need the same info, it is just that people can't steal it now.
