The [you] hack would accomplish that.

Yes boofo, I am using it, I just used the {username} as others were referring to it in this thread.

I was also thinking of going for a joke regarding the {username} idea. Someone posted a hack that allows you to put {username} in the forum title. So, you could use that and then also some bbcode to change "/you" to {username} and have a pretty silly forum thing going.

For the last couple of years, I've used the word substitution feature to alter words in what I consider amusing ways.
"Beer" became "Milk of amnesia". "F**k" became "Love a duck" etc. This year, I've been in discussion with the person who runs the christmas card list. We're going to announce a April Fool's card list and ask people interested to PM her with indications of interest. Rapscallion |

One word of warning in using the word replacements...
Our site came to be because an old site suddenly disappeared that we all used to hang out on. So, for April Fools, I made a new skin to make our site look just like the old one and then I used the Word Replacement Variables to change the names of staff to the names of staff on the old site. Don't do that!!!! When someone goes to PM a person who has their username changed in that way, it goes to the changed username person (or tries to anyway). This screwed up a few PMs that were sent that day. |

Last year I changed everyone's avatars to random blinkies, it was a good one. I left it that way all day.
This year I think I'm going to make a thread mentioning that our bandwidth usage is high or something and force the mobile theme on everyone---no graphics, no images, etc. I might come up with something better before then. Here's the thread where everyone talked about the avatars last year: http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=15526 Here's where I found the idea: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142188 Here are the avatars, be warned: --------------- Added [DATE]1206384134[/DATE] at [TIME]1206384134[/TIME] --------------- My other idea is to rickroll the entire board by forcing them to read a thread with the song/video set to auto-play. |

Is there a hack anywhere that will put a delay on loading the homepage by any chance to make the forums look like they've crashed and then maybe a page can refresh saying april fools then refresh to normal?
not sure if I explained that correctly but hopefully someone understands me. lol |
