April foolishness preparation

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

The last maintenance seems to have prevented links from being displayed. If you quote a post, or look at the source of a sig, they are still there.

Needs fixing soonest.

Really annoying me more the longer the day goes on, I advise anyone posting a link though to use the code brackets to at least make the link distinguishable in a long post, might also remind you to restore the link once its working again (two blue < > icon)

Like so:

[code]Nice moose..... no don't bite my hand......arghhhhh!!!!![/code]

The problem appears to be in /custom/st7/custom.css

/* What's New */

.custom .bbc_url {

display: none;

border:#C4D5E3 1px solid;

padding:5px;

}

The bbc_url is the class for links and it has the property display: none;

This seems to be true for many of us who's signatures consisted exclusively of links.

It also seems to be affecting pictures in lots of threads which is also quite weird and annoying

Sorry, that was an oversight... The bbc_url was not intended to be display:none forever, only for testing purposes...

OOPSIES!!

Problem fixed. Our overtaxed dirktator forgot to turn something back on.

You should never approach a large, wild animal such as a moose. Meese like to eat hands, and stomp on people. They weigh in at round 700 Kilos, you know. (and yes, I know the plural of moose is supposed to be moose, but you know goose -> geese, house -> hice, etc.)

It was just a bug; it has now been captured and imprisoned in Dirktator's siggy.

Oh, and ox--->oxen...so...moose--->moosen?

And they all live in the woodsen.

[Joe 90 358]

Are they møøsen, or just regular moosen? Its an important distinction - møøse bites kan be pretty nasti...

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Nay, du! Meese is Canajien, niemals Deutscher. Avez besoin, Les orignaux vous mangerez. You see, these meese are even slightly bilingual.

The April fool's rainbow is fascinating. Wonder what people will think of this message when it reverts. Kelly green accents! *sigh*

freaky. So the weird colors are intentional? This whole site is so whacked out, I havent really visited ST since before the switch. I thought it was on my end since I recently switched from firefox to chrome or something, but I guess not.

EDIT: now everything is a lovely shade of peach.

I say we keep it like this. Make's things less boring.

I wouldn't object, since a refresh gets yet another color scheme, but some are infelicitous, like light yellow on white.

[Muck308 55]

I've got a nice blue/green right now myself. At least there isn't an ST party at my house this year. Good thing too since I'm all out of Kool-Aid.

Naw, I'm just joshing. I keep my Kool-Aid at friends' hice.

And normality has returned.....

I remember last year on this date that they flipped our avatars 180 degrees...Looks like it is not happening this year...

Wait, there was a April Fools decoration this morning?

Dang, I missed it...

Traditionally, April foolishness only lasts until the sun is over the yard arm. The masthead for you Mr. Samness. Get going, I can find mast heads even for senior officers. Late on watch! For shame.
