Tch, yeah right..

We'll learn about this little charade sooner or later...

Yeah, the second I saw this I thought it was an April Fool's joke. It's happening for me too. This is pretty awesome, but it's hard to have to highlight everything o_o
Kurono
April 1st, 2006, 01:42 AM
This'll definitely be a story to tell the folks who aren't here.. XD
Koroku
April 1st, 2006, 01:43 AM
And they'll go "Suuuuure"
I must give the staff credit, it was a good idea to force people to use this theme and not allow people to change~

Darn you people for removing the "switch style" menu thing! I was even thinking about typing up this huge post saying I was dying in the hospital as I typed, but I don't think I can beat this :< Ah well, I'm sure we'll have a good laugh about it when it's all over.
Btw, different colored font pwns all.

I'll save the trouble of having to highlight this message by typing it in red :3
Yea,it's happening to me too O_O; This an early joke? O-o
Koroku

Especially font that'll be impossible to read once the normal skins are back :D

Apparently so because this isn't a joke.

This could be some hacker or something just messing with PC and us. The stuff isn't that bad are they? Some joke. A bit early isn't it for April Fools don't you think?
Chiru
April 1st, 2006, 01:51 AM
Then why can't we change it? XO And look! I have proof! I'm not crazy! I'm not!
P.S. A hacker would take the entire site down and leave some stupid message like "OMFG H4XXED BY L337O" or something. This isn't a hacker.

Yeah, I was a bit confused when this happened but then I thought 'It could be an April Fool's joke'.
*shrugs* I typed in a bright color anyways. :3

Well If Its A Joke Its In Bad Taste,But Why Would The Staff Joke Like This???I Think Its hack Maybe...

Ok, I'm gonna panic now o_____O I've stopped using color fonts except in my official home forum, (I don't really care about changing my format, eventhough I never do it) but this is insane!!
No matter what you say, This is a joke XD I can tell it because of the date... but It's extremely annoying to try to read other posts without format =________=

If this is a joke, then this is one very sick, annoying, and tasteless joke. I suspect that the administrators are laughing at us not being able to see anything while they go around with usable themes as we under-privilleged members have to suffer this.
An April's Fool joke is OK if it is harmless, but when it borders on this, it is just too far. I left a forum once because it closed down on April's Fool Day as a joke.
Edit: I'm leaving temporary. If it still doesn't change back to normal by tonight Singapore time (morning of 1st April in North America), then it's either a full explanation or I leave this place permanently except in the Picture Requests thread.

Aren't you guys a day early? I mean, I guess it's already April Fools in Japan, but most of the members here are in North America or at least the UK, where it hasn't really begun yet.
I was moreso looking forward to reading some phoney new Pokémon rumours, anyway. I guess forum pranks are cool, but you should've left the theme changer in the User CP, at least... :\
Edit: Oh yeah, Ctrl+A = quick highlight of all text. :)

Stop throwing words around like that.

Stop throwing words around like that.
When people start throwing those kind of words around, you know there are bad emotions being passed around. They are not happy with this, and they demand to know what the •••• is happening.
You are an administrator, and you should be knowing what is happening. If this is a joke, then this should be stopped as soon as possible before more damage is done.

Okay, why don't you stop breaking the rules before you get yourself warned? You aren't helping the situation at all.

Yeah, i'm annoyed because of this! i'm pretty sure the the john tesh radio showw says that this is bad for our health (not to mention eyesight). but, i'm not sure, so i'm going to check.
EDIT: nope i didn't find anoything, but i still don't think this is funny.

Just goto (FireFox only) Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors > Look for "Always use my fonts and colors" and then select "Colors". Reload the page after that.

April 1st, 2006, 03:19 AM
... I hate this... And I'm sensing some tension. Now all I want hear is an Admin tell us if it's a Cruel, Sick joke, or if it a sersious problem...
Is that so much to ask?...
And on a lighter note, eX.A.K.R.'s Sig and Avi look awsome with this background

At first I thought something was wrong with Mozilla or I had to clear my cookies
It's not really early for April fools jokes, it'll be April Fools day here in a few hours
And it is annoying to hilight everything but it gives me an excuse to type in exotic colors 8D
*wonders what's going on*
Edit: and do us a favor in this thread and type in a lighter color, hilighting is totemo annoying

ya, kurono-kun's right. quit complaining about this. seriously, is something like not seeing anything in PC really get you that attached to it? just wait for awhile and everything will be normal again. =\

Here's the solution for IE users that coolmaster posted in the other thread:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Accessibility -> Ignore colours specified on Web pages

OKAY. I think Kazuhito CLARIFIED that this isn't an april fools day joke. I thought this was stupid as well, but I honestly think that things like this happen from time to time. Give them time to deal it out, and for the meantime, deal with the blackout, and highlight. It's not extremely hard to click and drag your mouse, as I've been doing it for the past half hour or so. 0_0;; And if it is and April Fools Joke, well then, it's a joke. OMFG! Run for you lives! *ah the sarcasm!*

Opera FTW :) I'd be dying right now if it wern't for the several alternate stylesheets it ships with. Currently using "High Contrast (B/W)" and it looks pretty nice :D
