I'm not much of a programmer but if you guys need anything I have a VPN and a few burner shells if needed.

Ah this is a tough situation. Best of luck fixing things up. I can also offer some burners if required. Thanks for all the work you guys put into this!

Any sort of timeline for this being fixed?

 

I know there's only 1 programmer but Neo disabled the javascript checker since it was messing up the site. Should allow use of program manager at our own risk until they re-implement it at least.

Right now I don't have any new info. I know that's frustrating and I do apologise. I'd assist, but I don't have the programing knowledge to be able to be of any use. 

 

Even with neopets disabling the checker, we would still need to update it. This way we don't have to go through and stop all logins and tell everyone to stop using it again.

Im planning on buying a membership here once everything is running again. Thanks for keeping us informed. Kaiba

Hey guys I have found a solution to this problem

Hey guys I have found a solution to this problem

Really now? Care to share? Unless it’s a “they disabled the gateway pages and so we can reenable the manger”, as I’ve already explained above why we have chosen to update the manger and keep it disabled for now.

I don't think you need an invite to slack.

I am also anxious for the client to be running again!

Keep up the good work, devs

[jeas09]

Is the mac version going to be updated to be compatible with macOS Catalina after this issue is fixed?

I did ask about this, and it's sadly unlikely. Due to gatekeeper, it's difficult run programs not provided by the app store, and since we don't have a apple developer license (which costs way too much for us), it makes it even more difficult. 

 

You can either not update to Catalina, or you can run the manager through a virtual machine (I don't know if attempting to run the manager through wine will work). If you don't/can't buy a vm, there are ways to get free ones.

Any news?

[KaibaSama]

Any news?

It's a complicated problem and we only have one programmer who has their own life, so no. I'm sorry I can't offer more news or anything.

Do you think it's a doog idea to hire another programmer on Fiverr or similar ?
We could do a crowdfunding to help with costs

Everyone on staff is actually a volunteer, we don't get paid for this, so we don't really "hire" people. Plus, we need someone who we can trust for a long time incase something breaks or neopets updates more stuff, so we'd have to keep hiring the programmer, and with things like fiver, they could just refuse any further jobs and we'd have to keep finding new programers, or actually pay them a salary, far more expensive than what I believe crowdfunding with the members of this site could do, sadly. There's also the thing that this is a neopets program, which really is somewhat of a dying site, so it may be hard to find someone to even want to take the job in the first place.

I hope all is going well, still waiting! haha

I'm holding into my $5 like my life depends on it, just can't wait for the Manager to be back ~

thanks for all the hard work

[Inverse]

It's been a month without any updates, don't hold your breath. I don't think it's coming back

Again, we have one programmer, all of us staff are adults with our own lives who do get busy. I'd prefer to not keep hounding our programmer with questions, and rather let them work as they are, rather than making their life even busier. If it wasn't coming back, they would have said so by now. It's a difficult issue, with just one person working.

So helpful advice

[marzipan11]

Really appreciate your efforts on maintaining Abrosia and try to make it safe for current environment. Would definitely pay for Advanced function when neo-Abrosia go lives. Hope all goes well.

[KaibaSama]

Only update I can give is this: We may have some extra help. I can't say directly if we do or not, I'm not sure myself, until I hear from those above me, as they are currently out hunting for a while with bad internet service.  But that may offer some hope. I'll try to be less vague soon.

[mindy91187]

Awesome! Hopefully the help can help get it done. I definitely got spoiled by this program, I HATE shopping for my shop. It takes SO LONG. lol
