    End of flash to-do list

    We all know that Flash is ending and will not suddenly disappear (and if you don't think that, I’d recommend checking out (you need an account to see links)). Despite that, JN has posted some end of life loose ends to tie up in order to be on the safe side. I figured it was a good idea to share them here as well in case anyone had missed that post. If you can think of anything that isn’t on this list, by all means share it! The more prepared we can be, the better!


    Their post reads:
    Before January 12th arrives, we wanted to get together a list of "to-do's" involving features in Neopia that still rely on Flash. You may want to complete the items on this list before January 12th, or else there may be consequences until TNT releases a Flash-free version of said feature. For example, we recommend scratching your Premium scratchcards before January 12th, as that feature relies on Flash and it is unknown when TNT will implement an HTML5 version of Premium scratchcards.

    Here's what we recommend:

    • Scratch all remaining (you need an account to see links)you may have been awarded

    • And likewise, scratch any (you need an account to see links) you may wish to.

    • Complete the (you need an account to see links) (the telescope portion uses Flash—if you already completed the plot, then you'll still be able to access the daily).

    • Collect your worms in (you need an account to see links) (the Moltaran world maps are still Flash-based).

    • Remove any furniture from inside or outside your (you need an account to see links). (You can only remove an item from your Shed if it's not placed in your Neohome 2.0. Classic Neohomes can have items removed at any time, even without Flash working, so no issues there.)

    • But speaking of Classic Neohomes, you should get the Robo avatar if you don't have it already, as Classic Neohomes (and presumably the avatar for awhile) will be retiring. -
    (Add a robo Neopet item to your (you need an account to see links) (Robo-quiggles only work in Japanese).

    • Use up any remaining (you need an account to see links) and (you need an account to see links) ticket packs you may have and wish to use before TNT revamps these features to be Flash-free.

    • You may also want to use up any (you need an account to see links) keys you may have. The machine is Flash-free, but you do need to dress up your Neopet with items occupying specific zones in order to get the items you want, and that may be difficult until TNT converts all wearables to HTML5.

    • Play a (you need an account to see links) to unlock any secret avatars before they become unavailable (until conversion). Or, play any of your favourites one final time before they are converted! (Visit the (you need an account to see links)to play a game that likely will not make it in the conversion.)

    • Add (you need an account to see links) to your dailies list for a shot at the avatar.

    • Spin the various Wheels of Neopia Wheel of Misfortune, Extravagange, and/or Monotony to obtain each of their secret avatars you may still be missing. (As of 12/28/2020, the Wheels of Excitement, Mediocrity, and Knowledge are now Flash-free! TNT promises the remaining 3 wheels will come soon, so this to-do may not be that time sensitive.)

    • Remove any NC Collectibles from your NC Collectible Case. If you don't, they'll be locked in until TNT removes them for you. (Click on the item in your Case, then click the "Remove from Album" button.)
    My personal suggestions:

    • Customize your pet in an outfit you love since a decent amount of NC items are unavailable in the beta customization. The classic version of customization can be found (you need an account to see links). I am unsure how long the classic view will be available to us.

    • Try your luck at (you need an account to see links) for that avatar, as impossible as it may be.

    • Take screenshots of you classic neohomes or anything else you'd like to preserve in time before they are switched.

    • Save a copy of any code you have onsite like user lookups, pet pages, portfolios, art pages etc. While I am sure we'd get a heads up, it would be awful if those areas of the site got updated and we lost all the hard work that goes into our pages. (You can edit and view your petpages (you need an account to see links)).



    So again, while we know that the majority of these things will be able to be completed after Flash ends, its always better to err on the side of caution. With how the site has been we can not guarantee anything to be switched over in a timely manner, or at all, so if there is something you are wanting to accomplish - the sooner the better!

    Someone had mentioned possibly prolonging flash use by downloading a mirrored version of your browser that doesn't update? Or something along those lines? Maybe just wishful thinking :'(

    On (you need an account to see links) there is a section titled Technical Stuff! It links (you need an account to see links) and I believe that may be what you're looking for? The section says:
    This site offers you the ability to run your favorite browsers without having to install them. This would allow you to keep your installed browser up to date while still playing Neopets in the last version of that browser which supported the Flash plugin.
    Unfortunately I am not well versed in this and can't offer much more help beyond linking to those things, but I hope it helps nonetheless!

    I'm trying to get through the list, if I see the 'RIP' image does that mean that there's just no way to use that flash component anymore?

    That means you don't have flash turned on properly on your browser I think. These components should all still work currently

    Check out (you need an account to see links)! The first point under Technical Stuff, there is a link that will take you to Portable Apps list of portable browsers. Hopefully one of those can get flash going for you ^^

    I am so sad. I know I'm in the minority here but I loved my Neohome 2.0 and FWIW, my Classic as well. I've been holding out removing furni as long as possible and I guess the day has finally arrived. :<
