Members do not see this ad.

Is this feature permanent or am I the only one who sees it pop up?

 

[LoveBeingHuman:)]

I didn't think it was possible for this site to get more annoying.


I was wrong.

EDIT: If I'm not mistaken, several years ago SDN tried to switch their format just like they're doing now, and everyone hated it

 

[OchemOficionado]

I hate it. If you figure out how to remove it please let us know.

 

[Lannister]

Yep I've got it too, and the whole website has changed to look like we're back in the 90s. April Fools I assume.

A lot of technical and coding work goes into formatting a site do I don't think it's a joke

 

[KU Brendan]

It's "Clippy" the annoying Microsoft Office assistant from the 90s. Everyone hated it then as much as you are hating it now. 🙂

 

[STLouisVuittonDon]

Of course it's April Fool's. They just loaded what their site looked like in ~2004 probs

 

[SpoiledMilk]

And SDN changed my title from paperclip without my consent...

EDIT: SDN replaced my Rick Astley with the word Belvedere

If this is an April fools joke then this is some next level **** by SDN. Hats off to them.

No need to be mean to the poor guy, he's just doing his job 🙁

Well, they have had a year to work on it!

 

[bahdahboom]

yes this must be joke.
...the overuse of comic-sans...

Is that possible to do without updating the programming n' whatnot for everything?

Honest question, I'm not a computer science guy...like, at all

 

[500miles]

I hate this so much. I thought I was going crazy at first. I pray its April fools

It is replacing text. I stated the name of the clip, and it is replacing that text on the screen. It can't be edited. I think I'll stay off of SDN the rest of today.

 

[SpoiledMilk]

Has to April Fools cuz Microsoft owns the intellectual property of the annoying "thing."

EDIT: It is April Fools, SDN changed my image to Mr. Rick Roll...

 

[kuzy]

Yea, I couldn't figure it out at first. Seriously thought I might have gotten a virus from youpor...wait, wut?

Personally, my favorite part is the Comic Sans font.

Also, go to the home page for special effects on your cursor.

Remember the resurrection of the old troll accounts a year or two ago? Str3ampaw and others ...classic SDN

Settle down. It’s an April Fools thing. Many, many sites do this sort of thing on AFD.

 

[tiramisucheese]

Lol I've never seen so many people so serious about an April Fool's joke.

True...although from what I understand things got pretty out of hand in 33 A.D. as well.

Yeah, but that was no joke.

I'm not surprised people on this forum get all aggro over an AFD joke. The average user is extremely high strung and terrified of change.
