* Super Shop Wizard * Theme Clock* What is the BOSS Button* What is Stealth*

Was given the link to Sol1982's page. It has some hints & tips that may help you get around your Portal too.

Super Shop Wizard

The SSW is usually situated at the bottom of your portal page. However if it is not there then you need to go to portal preferences. Now choose home page, which is an option on the left hand side, & then add the SSW module from the drop down menu. Save it, and SSW should now appear on your portal page.

Most members use the SSW to snipe, which means, buying under priced items & reselling them for a profit. It's an easy way to boost the NP's you earn during the day.

Some of the more common items that are regularly sniped are, codestones, quest items, bottled faerie's, petpets, dubloons, etc. Yep, pretty much anything you can get a good profit on.

Theme Clock

To access the Theme Clock, you have to go to your Portal Preferences within your Portal. Click on the Available Modules & somewhere in that drop down menu, you will find one that says Clock, select that & you have your Themed Clock.

If you want the picture within the clock to change, you will have to change the entire Portal Theme.

What is the BOSS Button?

The BOSS Button is basically just a silly joke! Hover your mouse in the Top Right and Bottom Right hand corner of your Portal Page and you'll find the invisible link.....

What is Stealth?

This changes the status on your user lookup, so that where it says "Last Spotted", it will say STEALTH, instead of the last time you logged in. This makes it so no one knows when you're online_ Click here to see an example.

But remember, your alias is just a side account - you MUST NOT earn NPs, have a shop, do the dailies, etc. or you will be frozen.

WARNING! Premium users are held to the same rules and terms of use as everyone else on Neopets. There are no exceptions when it comes to the rules. If you break a rule, you will be frozen, and if you're frozen for breaking a rule, you won't get your account back.

But, sometimes mistakes are made. If this is the case, you do have an chance to look into the reason for your freezing, and have the situation reviewed. There is no guarantee that you'll get your account unfrozen though.

Go to http://premium.neopets.com/login .aspx?ReturnUrl=/frozen.aspx Then, log in by entering the username of your frozen account as well as the word that you use to log into Premium.

Once logged in, you'll be asked to enter some information to verify that you are the owner of the account. This will include Username, E-mail address, Disowned Pets, Created Pets, Equipped Items, Neofriends, Date of Birth on the account, and any additional information that may be of help

Don't submit more than one inquiry about your account. All you can do now is wait while they review your account and the reason/s it was frozen.

The best thing you can do is plan for the worst. Keep a Word or Notepad document saved that has all the vital information about your account. That way, all the information will be at hand if you do need it later, & you're also not stressed out trying to remember everything. A great pet page for stuff to keep a list of can be found here.
