Well I love the abrosia ABer so much that today I purchased the advanced member subscription so that I can select the shops to go to, but I typically use opera and the program doesn't detect cookies for opera.

So my question is if I use my aber, then go on my opera web browser and log-in after ABing and vice-versa does it look suspicious? Should I consider using a different browser for neopets/wait a certain amount of time after using ABer to log in?

I doubt it, I use multiple programs and log in through the browser and nothing has happened.

No. They do not watch logins currently. That may or may not change.

How do you know? (Honest question)

How do you guys find out if neopets keeps track of certain things?

Actually, they obviously do keep track of your log in dates (taking into account that it's displayed on your user lookup, lol. The matter I guess is the time. I know what you mean- I usually try to wait a while between logging in ad out of accounts, especially between my legit main and sides.

I looked through the editorials and only found this:

Hi! I'm just wondering, can you be frozen for logging in and out of an account too many times? I have a graphics page on one of my side accounts, and I sometimes have to log in and out of it as many as 10 times in one day. I only collect dailies on my main account, and I don't cheat, but I just don't want to get in trouble! Please answer my question, whether it's published or not! Thanks! You guys so totally rock! ~softball_slugger
Nope. You can log in and out of your accounts as often as you like. Just be sure to enter your password correctly each time, since too many password errors can lock you out of your account for a while.


but of course that doesn't say whether they do keep logs or not. My own opinion is yes; on most forums users have a 'last log-in' date AND time; why wouldn't Neo? However, I wouldn't be able to guess whether or not they actually have a system organizing it all in a way that would allow them to tie accounts together- like a program that lists accounts from the same/similar ip/isp with similar account log-in times. That'd be scary.

Neopets does not monitor logins. You can login and out a thousand times, that will not matter.

In all honesty, I don't see why they wouldn't log it. Whether they do anything about the logins is an entirely different matter.

I do normal browsing in chrome, flash games in chrome, html games in firefox. I switch back and forth, and the browsers log in and out. If they were to freeze because of switched browsers. they would be freezing lots of non-cheaters.

I was seriously concerned about this today.
Abrosia was freezing and I kept having to log off and log back in.
I wonder if it just puts up some flags and gets your account watched more?
Hmmm hope not.

I woudn't worry about that, Twink. They do not keep track of your logs. This was stated above, but I've bolded it and mde it font size 4, thus making it more legible to people on the internets.

You can log in and out of your accounts as often as you like. Just be sure to enter your password correctly each time, since too many password errors can lock you out of your account for a while.
