Really, that's your April Fool's joke? A disappearing mouse?

[haloboy100]

Eh? My mouse hasn't disappeared.

[NGTM-1R]

Yeah, that's not the April Fools joke that I can see...

[Shivan Hunter]

Happens when you mouseover a link. Also, the reply etc. buttons are blurry.

Looks like someone's really reaching for ideas huh guys

[Flipside]

None of those issues here. Everything seems to be fine. To be honest, I don't know what was planned for today, if anything, but as far as mouse behaviour is concerned, I've got business as normal.

Edit: Actually, it's started to do it for me now as, so I'm guessing that's what it is.

[StarSlayer]

I have all the issues reported plus the page stutters and the HLP logo is listing like a tired ass tramp steamer with a leaky bilge.

[Shivan Hunter]

Backstory: booger scripted the forums to mix up words in posts (this like), and it messed up some people's attempts at useful communication, so he removed it. It seems he's hellbent on impeding forum use in some way, though

[Goober5000]

There's nothing to see here.  People complained about the April Fools sentence shuffler so I removed it.  All is well.

[perihelion]

The font size is growing and all images are tilting.
GOOBER!!!!!

[Oddgrim]

Goober I understand the intent behind it ( and to some extent appreciate it ), just with all the trouble the site has had of late, even when it's aprils fools day, not a good moment do it. :1

[Hades]

This sort of idiotic **** is the reason why I tend to stay away from HLP on April Fool's because one fool tends to make it impossible to actually browse the forums.

[Mr. Vega]

I tend to stay away from the forum in general because of the idiots who treat the forum as their own personal lawn to yell at kids for stepping on and vehemently resist any attempt at fun.

Fun is fun, but it was bad enough that we couldn't provide tech support to people asking for it. I don't think it's idiotic to want to help people play the campaigns we've poured years into.

I recall you asking for help getting some campaigns running recently. I really value your opinion and was hoping you'd play them, and I would've been really frustrated if I couldn't answer your questions because someone decided to turn everything into word salad for a day. If you think that makes me an idiot, I admit I'm a little stung.

[Mr. Vega]

It's one goddamn day, you giant mountain of boring.

[General Battuta]

Christ, dude. Forgive me for caring.

I'm all for funny April Fool's jokes but it was nothing funny and did not qualify as a joke. You couldn't even parse a debug log.

[yuezhi]

It'll be the year of Spoon at this rate.

[Hades]

It's one goddamn day, you giant mountain of boring.

And for those of us who actually want to do something constructive, it disrupts work flow. It's also annoying in principle, as you can have pranks that don't cross the line of "making the forums unreadable annoying to read", which has happened once.

[Fury]

I can understand making an attempt at april fools. But year after year your pranks have proven to be more disruptive than funny. One would think you'd have taken a hint and figured out something else, but no. Would it really be so impossible for you to come up with something that doesn't disrupt use of HLP in any way? If the answer to that is yes, perhaps you should consider not doing anything at all.

It is on days of gooberism when for a moment, I seriously think of launching an alternative site to HLP. Free of gooberism. Fortunately I have a wakeup call and realize that the site would just meet similar fate to GW, SG and many others.

[Sandwich]

...plus the page stutters

Just noticed that, sorry. Didn't mean to take up 100% CPU, but looks like it is. I've removed that. Force-refresh.

[Yarn]

I'm using Firefox 19 and HLP looks completely normal; I'm seeing none of the effects that others have described.
