Nice bit of work. This took some serious effort.

Here's how to tell.

This is Times New Roman. The Quick Brown Fox Jumped over the Lazy Dog

Notice, for instance the uppercase Q and J.

I resent the implication that dogs are lazy.

Now, please excuse me whilst I go take a nap.

Everything's gone weird ...................

The forum names are confusing me...I like the look...but couldn't we have had a notice?

Loved it!

April 1 is marked on the calendar. It's a little weird the first time you stumble in on it, but April foolery is a tradition here. Go steampunk yourself and dive in!

April Fool jokes are only valid until lunchtime on the 1st. Don't know how many people realise that.

This is awesome! Granted, a little bit confusing, but I do like the font and colors. That, and all it takes is to read the description to see where to go. :-D

This is awesome! Even the Mods redid their pictures. I'm quite impressed with all the work that went into this. One of the best jokes I've ever seen.

Great work, guys -masses of obvious effort, but...

God! I hate this. The italics are driving me maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

I'm going to curl up into a ball until tomorrow.

Farewell, one and all - both old and new - clean and crinklies.

I love the color actually. Easier on the eyes. The text is a nice change...for a day. So forgot it was April 1st til I logged on here, then remembered.

HA! Even the smilies are different. Wow! That's a lot of work! Bravo. Nicely done.

I'm not big on April Fools Day. I like the colors and fonts, but the whole forum looks like it was written in a foreign language.

The smilies are different? I don't have different smilies. *cries*

The normal : ) which makes a smiley face, has a mustache today.

Awww... I just see the normal smilies.

No; you're not using the ones that were changed:

Loving it. I'm always down for a good April Fool's punking.

Although, to be honest, the skin colors and font choices are quite nice... Easier on the eyes. (Making not-so-veiled hints)

Well done, AW mod team!

ETA: Ah well, I guess the Steampunk Smilie Gods don't like me today. *sigh*

I've been refreshing pages all day and it hasn't worked. You tell me to refresh and it works. *laughs*

Same here! I couldn't see them until I refreshed just now.

BTW, I like this look too. The bigger type is easier to see, and the font is prettier than the old font. And the colors are nice too.
