FYI I did notice.
Just, to who ever did it, no one else was crying about it so I wanted to let you know I did notice
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/gif" href="/2012-04-01-favicon.gif" />
and
html, body {
cursor: progress !important;
}
it was nice and subtle and clever, it took me a second to think "oh, yeah, April 1st" after I first noticed it and thought something was wrong with the site causing it to not fully load.
-
Hah, I never made that connection. Clever indeed!
-
Fuuuuuuuuuuuu- I noticed, but I wasn't sure if it was intentional or just HLP being.... HLP. :p
-
This was a good one, had me going for a good minute before I realized that it should look different in Firefox.
-
Oh, was it supposed to change the cursor as well?
-
well, it did
-
I missed it all due to working away all weekend.
What was it :)
-
Still happening here, and after I cleared my cache too. Weird. :p
-
ENDLESS LOADING
ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES
-
Bah! You win this time, Sandwich!
-
Bah! You win this time, Sandwich!
I certainly hopes he wins every year from now on too. Much better april fools that what we've had in the past.
Well done.
-
Well, now i know what was going on. HLP is pretty light weight. It wasn't much of a brain**** though. Just made me curious why it says it keeps loading.
-
That's not all that's going on.
-
What does kick ass do
-
I don't have an Iphone, make an android equivalent for un-racist win :)
-
That's not all that's going on.
I'd like to be what your going on!
-
Much more survivable than pirate filter and a massive improvement ON THEM BLOODY UNICORNS AND RAINBOWS
-
Oh well. I don't care.
Unending green circly bars in peoples tabs that never end?
-
I didn't notice anything.
I'm not sure if that speaks toward my awareness level, or the insignificance of the joke.
-
i noticed, but thought "that's way too small and obscure to be an HLP april fools joke"
-

Dangit, there goes my nightmares again... :nervous:
-
I do be missing the pirate filter.
-
I do be missing the pirate filter.
That'll be back on September 19th, on the official Talk Like a Pirate Day! (http://)
:nod: ;)
-
I noticed it as well, if only because the icon it uses for constantly loading is very different to the one that Firefox uses.
-
I liked this April Fool's joke a lot more than HLP's traditional word-filter nonsense or last year's cover-the-page-in-horse****. The loading thing was noticeable, but subtle enough that it'd take you a moment to realize it was a trick, and once you made that realization, it's not nearly as irritating as rendering posts unreadable.
-
I noticed it, but figured out it was a prank, since I have my Firefox skinned and my real loading icon in tabs doesn't look anything like that. Still, jolly good show! I love the internet on 1 April.
-
Linux mint needs to change firefox to have the green loading indicator. It fit very well.

i disagree, the unicorns and rainbows was epic, and dont you ever forget it, id even say the best april fools joke ever. this years joke seemed kinda meh, most likely when valathil posted his prank a tad early for those of us in the us (it was still the 31st over here), thus tipping us off to the upcoming fool fest. that said his prank was better than the offitial prank, which was meh at best, and didnt fool anybody.
-
Oi, the loading thing has been reversed, but the cursor is still foolish! Someone missed that? :P
EDIT: Nevermind I am idiot

Clear your cache.
In Chrome: Wrench > Settings > Under the Hood > Clear Browsing Data... (under section "Privacy". Then, select only "Empty the Cache" .. you can also tell it to only clear one week and that should do the trick).
In Firefox: Firefox {the menu on the top left} > Options > Options > Advanced > Clear Now (under section "Cached Web Content")
In IE: you gotta be kidding me what are you doing using IE... ok fine: Gear > Internet Options > Delete... (under section "Browsing History". Then, select only "Temporary Internet Files").
Opera: google it I can't be arsed
Safari: google it I can't be arsed
-
it is gone
i did not need to clear my cache
the cache is there for a reason and telling users to clear it is a cop out
-
Of course, you could always wait until your cache refreshes itself with the updated version of HLP that doesn't have the April Fool's Day code in it.
Or you could clear your cache.
-
id rather keep my cache in tact so **** loads faster. :D
-
Oh well. I don't care.
Unending green circly bars in peoples tabs that never end?
Except, it was obviously a fake. Bookmark icons were updated and mine had messy edges.
-
Clear your cache.
Ah, of course :nervous:
-
Yeah but this Kick ass thing is awesome dude like seriously i had to refresh the page to post this because i destroyed the reply box
-
I destroyed your gold star...
-

Aha! Another person discovers my awesome April Fools stunt.
How many does this make now? Five? :nervous:
-
i don't get it. what is the kickass thing supposed to be doing?
-
Destroying the web page.
Use arrow keys and space bar. ;)
-
Well, instead of clearing the cache, there is supposedly a way to force a refresh of the current page only... I think it's usually Ctrl+F5, but I'm not positive, and that may only work with some of the browsers.
-
neat. i didn't expect it to stay gone when i quit.
-
Im pissed. I missed April 1st again. I gotta get one of you to send me a PM or email reminder to get my ass on next time..
Cant we have a April Fools repeat day, 1 week from April 1st, for those latecomers, so we can experience it too? Or a 'Turn this years April Fools joke on" and "Off" button so you can feel April 1st any day!
(Yes, I am serious)
-
Or you could, like, manage to pay attention to the date on your own. :p
