April Drools Day
-
Tomorrow is the day where every website does shitty awful crap you hate, and it's impossible to use the internet normally to do the stuff you actually want to do, fuck this day, fuck every web master who thinks they're so funny.
Discuss.

@ben_lubar may take this personally.

sunday is the Lord's day, and so i think we should allow the electrons to rest and not use the internet tomorrow
-
@blakeyrat Speak for yourself. I personally enjoy having a small amount of fun at least once a year.

I spent some time today fixing a fuck-up that caused the site to be completely unusable in non-Chrome browsers tomorrow.

@blakeyrat prefers to keep fun to once every ten years. He does not want to strain himself.

No.

Do you mean the repeat of a favorite from last year or the other one that you caught in your screenshot but didn't notice?

A glitch in the matrix is giving away the true nature of the TDWTF community.

Or maybe you could have built a less invasive joke?
Now @boomzilla takes the blame, but this is the world upside down as he usually keeps track of his alts.

AFAIK, an ISP in my area offers basically this as a service to its subscribers. And no, despite today’s date, this isn’t a joke.

@ben_lubar
Can't wait for @Tsaukpaetra to downvote all posts he reads, and it's all going to be bz alts anyway.

@pie_flavor Do you happen to suffer from colorblindness and dyscalculia? Because that screenshot is how you recognize colorblindness and dyscalculia.

Nope. The Schrodinger's upvote was the first thing I noticed.

I don't know, I kinda like Google Maps' game.

This is just annoying

@anonymous234 I can't find the damn wizard in the 4th (fruit) image.

Fuck this I'm going to go fall down an xcom Long War hole

to the whole site today. See you tomorrow. Maybe.

The issue caused the forum title to be invisible in Firefox and Edge.

He's wearing a blue hat, almost totally behind a group of three fruits, just left of the three bananas in dresses.Also, the fruits is definitely the most difficult to search due to the way it swamps you with colour.

Can't wait to see how bz account gets provisionally
Irrevocably damaged somehow

So if you get the HILARIOUS LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLLL joke where everybody's username turns into "boomzilla", it completely breaks line-wrapping on the first paragraph of every post, making them unreadable.
Extremely basic shit about the forum not working? That's so funny!!!! Oh wait, that happens every day.
Fuck this day.
Ben if you were just going to sabotage the forum, why didn't you just put up a big static screen that says "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU", it would have been quicker and easier. And roughly equally hostile towards your users.

Blakeyrat is, as usual, being blakeyrat, but this time he has a point. You admitted upthread that you knew some of these pranks would be extremely annoying, but you went ahead and did them anyway.
-
@antiquarian That's the exact opposite of what I was attempting to display; namely, that the first line of his post was wrapped completely normally.
-
@blakeyrat said in April Drools Day:
\/ And here's Boomzilla to tell me all my ideas are stupid \/
Right on the money.

The line wrapping was a bug and I fixed it but @blakeyrat tells me he doesn't want to refresh.

@ben_lubar This pretty much sums up blakey:

Being humor-impaired seems to be a requirement for this forum.
None of theEater EggsApril Fools' jokes seemed more annoying then your average forum bug.
-
@topspin Yeah. Besides, this happens once per year. It's not like it's worth the effort complaining about.
Also, I actually think the bz thing is/was quite amusing. It's also courteous enough to show the original user name when you mouse over.

Don't look at the CSS that makes it work on hover or your eyes will self-immolate.

Huh? I'm just getting a dwarf fortress title and blank spots instead of user names. Nothing on hover with either.

@ben_lubar Firefox 59.0.1 which wants to restart for updates. Reloading the site replaced the blanks with @boomzilla so it's still broken.

wants to upvote a post.
looks at number of votes to make sure he's pressing the right button. The number is 0.
clicks the left button. Oh, the zero was upside down. I just downvoted instead of upvote.
clicks the left button again to remove the downvote. Okay.
clicks the right button this time.
The timing is right and the vote buttons flip under me. I downvote the post again.

I've had to look at a lot of code from students. My eyes have like built-in fire-suppression systems these days.

I think as far as april fools jokes go, this one is pretty well implemented.

The title one worked out OK.
The in-reply-to markers didn't work so good on Palemoon (or likely @Lorne-Kates' version of Firefox):
