The sparkly unicorns thing wasn't that bad last year

Ditto, and my mouse pointer disappears when it's on a link.

Same here, using firefox.

[haloboy100]

Yeah I'm seeing no difference at all.

It's not happening to me in Firefox for some reason, but it is happening in IE 10. What version of Firefox are you using, and in what operating system?

My apologies for this, but I noticed they were appearing upside down so I decided to give it a go

Confirmed, they're all upside down for me
I'm also getting disappearing cursors
Thought it was just something wrong with me, but guess not!

Shame I missed that other fun stuff though. I'd of liked to have seen that

Looks normal here in IE 10 in Windows 7. Maybe try clearing the browser cache and force-reloading the page?

[Mobius]

They're not upside down here. I'm using Google Chrome.

So, to clarify, you two are or are not seeing the April Fools effects?

[jg18]

Am not.

Can't duplicate. Or Deathfun's.

[deathfun]

Opened up IE (most recent update) in Windows 7. I've got the same as I have in Firefox, upside down emoticons and disappearing cursors

I think it's rather neat though. Everyone having a different experience

Proof! I ain't crazy!

[Aardwolf]

So uh... I notice that I still have the "Kick Ass" button from last year as well. Wait, does that mean the sparkly unicorns thing was actually two years ago?

[Mongoose]

Well that's bizarre...I wasn't getting any of the upside-down or disappearing cursor stuff an hour or so ago, but now I am.  Maybe I was working off the cache until now.

And the Kick Ass button has been here continuously since last year, because most people thought it was cool, and it didn't get in the way of anything.

[Apollo]

I'm getting the upside down smileys and the disappearing cursors (the buttons are also slightly blurry).

[Klaustrophobia]

i get the upside down smileys (frownies?) and disappearing cursor, but no blurry buttons.  had the growing fonts but that seems to have been turned off.  that one became a bit annoying when reading posts longer than a couple of sentences. 

do the images still list?

[Sandwich]

Ok, just to set the record straight:

Goober did the word mix-up thing.

I did everything else (listing images, upside-down smileys, blurred buttons, and the growing text which I disabled after a while due to the CPU usage), via CSS. Different browsers support have varying CSS support (not to mention CSS file caching), so that accounts for some of the discrepancy in what everyone experienced. The rest is accounted for by a media query I wrapped everything in, which basically says only to cause the CSS mischief if the browser window height is > 800px.

[General Battuta]

Why don't YOU be in charge of April Fool's in the future.

[deathfun]

Nice toggling feature! Awesome

[Sandwich]

Why don't YOU be in charge of April Fool's in the future.

I was planning to this year, but the forums went down when I was going to inform the admins of my plans and ask their opinions, so things got delayed until the night before, when I was finally able to post. Then when Goober saw the thread and saw that I hadn't implemented anything yet, he applied his word-scrambler.

What can I say? We, the admins of HLP, definitely need to plan these things out better. :-/
