    Woo normality has now restored! I must admit that I did believe it when I first logged in and was utterly confused by it all...I'll be prepared next year! :slight_smile:

    Although I normally don't have an issue with EC's April Fool's, I do wonder:

    Why was it not taken down the minute it was realized it affected Anonymous posting?

    It's not like people don't need support for problems they're too embarrassed to talk about on April Fool's Day.

    It wasn't so faboulous for *some* of us in one particular section.

    Haha that was really good.

    But I would like to say there was something I liked about that website- It did make me feel a lot better that "Empty Closets" wasn't posted at the top of my safari page! I could then look at the website in a public place without feeling antsy.

    Just something to think about.

    That's pretty much what we did as soon as we were in the position to do so.

    A report was submitted around 2pm UK time, and the staff took steps to remove the posts that had been affected and agreed to shut down that section to prevent further problems. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reverse the styles myself as it's beyond my technical know-how, and the only other admin who could assist us with that was Chip. As soon as he became aware of the problem he posted here stating that he was working to resolve it, and approximately 20/30 minutes later the forum was pretty much back to its original state.

    Although it dragged out for a while due to the closure and not having the admin available to make the change immediately, we did remove it when we got the chance. The downside to operating globally is that the timezones can often plague our ability to take action that requires specific staff from vastly different timezones, which is why the forum had to be shut for a while.

    Edit: The Wide Styles and Logo-less styles should be accessible again now. Sorry for the delay in re-activating themmm. :slight_smile:

    I agree with you, but I did like the background although it hurt my eyes.
