...atop the page, it's freakin' awsome.
Oh yeah? Scroll to the bottom and have your mind blown.
Holy crap.
Mind=Blown
Not sure who made the change, actually. It's kind of a puzzle, as there are very few people who'd have access to do that.
Hot.
LOL..thought my graphics glitch had just gotten worse, but now, I see, it is simply more EFU awesome.
It's kind of creepy, tbh.
I noticed the top, saw this thread, and it made sense. What I hadn't seen until reading this thread, was the very bottom border..now THAT is Awesome! Praise be to the Three.. <.<
Gotta love the mist that rolls through at the bottom, though it widens your broser like crazy
Honestly thought I had some horrible spyware that was doing the mist effect...
and yes it is creepy
I still think it was Mr Cheez-It or Arkov, bored at work and probably snickering at this thread as we speak.
shits hell I saw the mist and then when I looked again it was gone, could someone shed some illumination on this naughtiness for me please?
... there it is again

This.
It actually broke the browser on my iPhone.
EDIT: After making this post, the topic window suddenly is also moving from left to right.
When you open spoiler texts, the place of the Mist changes upwards from the bottom. If the one who made it is interested to fix that. Cool stuff anyway.
We're working to put the forums back the way they're supposed to be. As soon as one of us remembers the FTP credentials... >_>
The only password I had appears to have changed, so it is indeed a bit of a puzzle who made these changes. Likely a retired DM, but I find it in slightly poor taste not to let the active Dms know what's happening to our website...
The color scheme in the text was changed to. From a nice green to this kinda darkened goldenrod.
I like the change of the texts, makes it easier to see
The new color of green is fugly.
For reference, my avatar was the same color that the text used to be. If you wanna compare. >_>
Like the Lava under Ymph though.
It's pretty neat. It gives it a sort of sickly feel that reflects what is happening in game. Not cool to have been done without permission though.
This is too late for april fools...
Seems to break my i-pod browser too, rapidly shrinking and widening.
Quote from: Ebok;240802For reference, my avatar was the same color that the text used to be. If you wanna compare. >_>
Not to mention all the forum buttons that still have that color!
since im all into this 'a game of thrones' serie, future references to this anonymous person will be 'the aDM king'
you heard it here first
I already noted this on the DM board, Howland, but I wanted to put it here for reference for the players as well. I tested my passwords and they've all changed, it's listing the only person with access to those aspects of the site as ScottyB. If anyone sees ScottyB, make sure to direct him towards one of us.
I just noticed the writing is instead of green now a mucky dead grass color. The letters are also drooping.....
Oh crap, it's H'Bala!
Quickly everyone, donate money for EfU to stop the cataclysm!
IMO leave it as it is. Reminds us that the server is likely gonna kill our PCs at any time now.
It's mostly my bad for not preventing this. But I still own the website, so I'll get around to fixing it probably this weekend (despite my friends coming to visit). I think this is the most elaborate thing somebody has done...I'm just glad ScottyB was a former DM and probably did it all in good spirit. :S
Just fix the mist animation and the text color IMO. The rest is all cool :)
The text colour burns my eyes...
It appears that the scroll bar on the quick reply window is now also missing and therefore broken.
Neon green man....psychedelic features...I thought it was just my browser, hurts my eyes.
its turning more yellow
I quite like it!

I (think I) am flattered that you think I could pull this off, but all my EFU credentials are on my (currently dead) desktop PC. This isn't me.
SKULL! :(
Havnt seen it yet-
Scratch that just did, Its set on some sort of random aperance is you want to see it just refresh a page till it pops up.
Ain't Scotty?! Someone then got haxx. Someone who knows about the server and is good with programming... Hmmmm...
Arkov?
A ruse by the DM team?
There are hints around the page that I think have to do with what's happening: "She comes", "Get help", "7 Daughters", "7 Sons", "wither now".
Errr.. where do you see that?
Main forum page, on the new imagery. You have to look in the right place.
Do make a picture and post this? Because I find it insanely odd if it is there.
Sir Szgh, I accuse you of either trippin' and/or trollin'. I see no of these words.
i warned of you of the skull and none listened! now you will all perish!
We think we know who's been doing this. For obvious reasons we can't say who but we'll let the playerbase know when we can fix it.
I insist, why "fiX" is? Maybe remove the mist because it lags some people, but other than that..
Quote from: Drakill Tannan;241170I insist, why "fiX" is? Maybe remove the mist because it lags some people, but other than that..
A lot of us have issues with the new font colour, mainly. To me, it's too sharp to the eyes and unpleasant to look at. The header is kinda cool, tho! But then again, so was the old one.
Also; Obviously the name can't be shared, but I'm very curious to know the intention of the change from the one responsible; An elaborate prank or a genuine interest in neatifying the forums? And if the latter, why secretly?
Make it stop T_T It's getting even worse
plz make it stop
ShadowCharlatan. Lol.
This situation seems to have become so complicated that it's actually surprisingly simple. Unfortunately, we still can't fix it.
Anyone having actual problems can click a blank area of the page, hold shift and press tab 5 times until it's highlighting the theme box on the bottom left, and then use the up arrow to change it to another theme.
April Fools Day was like two months ago....
DMs trollin' us? Sure feels like it should be a quickfix.
It should be, were we able to remember our passwords!
I still think it's awsome, and will be disaponted when you fix it.
Presuming this isn't some elaborate hoax from our DM team... if the forums have been so compromised you should consider copying, replacing and setting them up anew, as occured when we moved from EFU to EFU:A.
Quote from: Halfbrood;241651It should be, were we able to remember our passwords!
Were CERTAIN DMs able to remember/recover their passwords, at least, though I think there's a bit more depth to it than that.

this is true, it messes up the iPhone browser
As I'm sure all can see, something is going on with the avatar pictures as well, instead they are pictures of medical drawings
I don't like the picutes :(
And that howl... freaked me out when i first heard it.
Howl?
I give it a day before the forums turn into some 1996-era Dancing Fleshroom .gif site :P
Err.. the banner of the server just scared the hell outa me x,x
BE REBORN B*tch
Sweet
Zombie
Apocalypse.
Banner looks professional.. my bet is this is some DM trickery about the end of EFU:A and the beginning of a new setting... maybe...
Quote from: Yalta;243277Banner looks professional.. my bet is this is some DM trickery about the end of EFU:A and the beginning of a new setting... maybe...
I was skeptical about something similar, but rather the end of the server entirely.
End of the server entirely... really?
This is just ludicrous.
Forum access logs should easily be able to point out who tampered with everyone's avatars. If DMs can't figure out who is responsible and fix it now, it's obviously a hoax.
And it's a hoax that's getting very tiresome.
EDIT: Oh, wait. It appears the avatar thing is just some sort of style sheet override.
Efuspiracy?
Relax, guys. It's just a few minor cosmetic changes, nothing to worry about. We've identified the culprit and think that it's just a problem with communication. We'll be fixing this soon and I'm sure that she'll have no problem helping us to address these concerns.
test to see what my avatar is
i got better avatar than u lol
Quote from: derflaro;243302test to see what my avatar is
Its different from thread to thread
obv
Its the end guys. I hope you liked EFU while you had it.

Sometimes a female is known as a maiden...
i am tired of this shit too porkolt, fuck.
I still don't get why you're so angry about it. It is creepy, grim, now with the avatar thigns it reminds me of Demon's Crest.
PLEASE don't fix it ><
<_< Has mine changed
<_> Nope. Still the same.
Edit: Fo'shizzle. Beam me up Scotty, I've been haxed.
I for one think it looks cool. :D
As I...
Did my avatar change too?
LOL NOPE! Cool stuff whatever this is.
i enjoy how if you keep refreshing you can get a stretched out image of people's original avatars
I quite like the avatar changes, actually!
That thing on the top banner looks like Michael Jackson in Thriller.
Cannot unsee.
EDIT: Looks like I got to keep my avatar.
I love you... and we're going to be together.
Alright, this is turning into insanity, lol. The change of avatars is a bit weird.
I'm scared. Someone hold me!
Quote from: Relinquish;243278I was skeptical about something similar, but rather the end of the server entirely.
Njae, dunno man.. The banner up there says Be Reborn though!
Quote from: PlayaCharacter;243435That thing on the top banner looks like Michael Jackson in Thriller.

Cannot unhear!
Not that I'd want to.
Now every time I see the banner I hear
Thriller in my head...

I have been accepting so far. The making of minor cosmetic changes is something that, even though ridiculous, are not harmful.
The deliberate and willfull DEACTIVATION of a vital forum function, however, is very much over that line.
The avatar is a vital part of forum operations. It allows people to quickly identify the poster of a message, and makes the use of the forums greatly more efficient.
Now, however, it turns out not only that users are alotted one of several random avatars in favor of their own, it also turns out that every time a page is refreshed, they have not only a DIFFERENT avatar, but in fact have a different avatar for EVERY POST.
The amount of extra attention I am as such forced to pay to arbitrary lines of text (which are, by the way, still a very ugly green color) is a needless source of headaches.
I hope your little 'prank' and the resulting 'humor' is of enough value to you for it to damage my personal wellbeing.

u mad?
ROFL @ PORKOLT.
porkolt the forum looks sweet. GTFO
So far I've had no problems with forum changes reflecting the server, and most of them I like (The Banner up there, and the mist down under) but the new profile pictures I frankly do not like. Some of them really look quite disgusting, and is then NOT something I like to see all over when we discuss OOC questions.
Any DM wanna make a post about what the changes mean?
Some girl wanted to buy us a present but got the totally wrong thing and is continuing to buy us things we don't want.
The analogy fits here.
Someone is laughing somewhere.
I like the changes as always ^^ Just not the avatars that much. They're really cool and all, absolutely, but I just personally like to set my avatar image to reflect something relating to whatever character I am playing at the time.
HOW DARE THEY VIOLATE THE SANCTITY OF MY AVATAR
Quote from: ScottyB;243479Now every time I see the banner I hear Thriller in my head...
Damnit now every time I look at it I just think of Disco zombies.

So did you fire the culprit yet or what?
