I have it on good authority that it's not just me, so I'm putting 'Because I've lost it' on the bottom of my list.

Is this the secret code to revolt? If so, someone's going to regret not sending me the memo. I've been a good revolutionary the last year and a half.

Or is Mac sitting back having a good laugh? If so, we have standards! You wanna mess with someone, you go on a shmoo fest. You don't make random links be purple! This place used to be a respectable madhouse!

Take a look at the "Color Scheme?" thread in the Bulletin Board. Mac's working on fixing it.

I just found that one a minute ago, but you're ruining the fun :tongue

Also, I see I missed the worse of it...

Must be all the purple prose over in SYW has sprung a leak!

Or someone is trying to subliminally bring out the purple prose writers in us all

Now see, that link should have showed up as purple for me.

There's no method to the madness!!! NO ORDER WITHIN CHAOS!

THEET'S CURSES HAVE FINALLY TAKEN EFFECT!

....I think I'll just see if it's better by morning.




(Theet= TheIT and she has sprinkled SYW with curses like 'Chaos take him' and the ilk)

So you really have turned into a smibble? Cool!

:D

Right now, I haven't even been able to rule out "demon possession" as a potential cause.

Workin' on it, though...

Mac, I assume you know this, but the color change happened just a few minutes before I created the "Color Scheme?" thread. Is there a log or something to check?

You all are seeing purple? o_O Am I the only one not seeing it?

And if you figured out how to fix it, can you change the color scheme to pink? Pretty please? ;)

It's doing it again!

Mac, what have you done? she asked in a dramatic gasp.

Heh. I'm not sure why it wants to revert -- cussedness, I'm guessing.

So... let me get this straight... The message board itself is having a revolution?

Someone get the fireworks and the pink flamingos. We're gonna need 'em.
