<font color=red size=4> OH MAN Z!!! Your going to get it!!! :mad: I thought my computer was freaking out! I even rebooted...... Oh MAN! So I guess, I'll go down in history as the first one this year to fall for Z's plot, right...CRAP...</font>

<font color=steelblue> All right, you got me, good one.</font>

Yeah its happening to me to.

I can't remember what he did last years for April fools or the year before for that matter. Iremember a holween one where he made freaky bats fly all over the screen, that was funny :D

lol... MY COMPUTER'S DYING!
Actually, it's only April Fools Day here for 15 more minutes, so I expect this 'problem' to be eliminated by then. :rolleyes: [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]
I just thought it was hallucinations brought on my lack of sleep... Must... finish... economics... assignment... due in... first thing... tomorrow...

LOL Ziroc is doing this ? I was about to switch computers here in the internetcafe, but i guess that won't do me any good. :D

Im testing my brand new Geforce4 ti 4200, so that had me just a little worried.

gonna edit the header to this thread-- so we can see OTHER members freak out! :D :D :D

No... wait, it just flickered!!!!!!
Did Ziroc do this?
Man, I'm gonna KILL him.....

<font size="+2" color="yellowishgreen"><marquee direction="left">AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! The whole world is spinning and I can't seem to make it stop no matter what I do aaaaah! Make it stop!! AAAH!

AAAAH I gotta New Sig It's the Dark Elf with a Sweet Tooth Casting his magical "Make a Big cake fall from the sky and on top of you" spell.

LOL I got the first "shake" a fraction of a second after an attempt by someone to hack into my system and I thought they had succeeded. I was about to get offline when I decided to pop in here first anyway.

Good one Ziroc! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

April Fool's Day huh? I guess I'll go back to bed. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Err Z? It's making me dizzy! [img]tongue.gif[/img] That and your shaky screen trick had me ready to degauss my screen again! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Grrrrrrrr...... glad I came in here before calling our tech support folks. I'd hate to have to explain why I'm here when I'm supposed to be working...

This script i believe is the culprit [img]tongue.gif[/img]

var quakeID = 0;
var totalX = 0;
var totalY = 0;

// max pixels in each movement
var maxShift = 6;

// min movements in each quake
var minJumps = 5;

// max movements in each quake
var maxJumps = 15;

// min milliseconds between two quakes
var minBetweenQuakes = 12000;

// max milliseconds between two quakes
var maxBetweenQuakes = 16000;

and so on ...... these line do continue
Aint it ;) Hehe! Me checked the source to see if me was being fooled :D

Heheh... [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Almost got me there, I was just a tiny bit scared considering I´m using a computer at work right now and my boss would [img]graemlins/rambo.gif[/img] me there really was something wrong.

I hope it´s only temporary though ´cause I´m starting to get a headache ;)

The bluescreen was a good one though. [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

mie is to, its probly april fols day prank

<font color="gold">Phew, glad to see I'm not the only one who fell for that trick... [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

thank you Ziroc, I've had a bad day, a head ache, and I hate to say that this has made it worse.

Good one anyway, dispite the pain.

Happy april wossname.

On another site (about the Shining Force series of games) I'm a member of, the admin has played a couple of funny gags.

First she changed one of the "bad ass" [img]tongue.gif[/img] member's name from The Evil dead to The Virtuous Living. Then she placed a pair of googly eyes, or a pair of pants, a sign saying pants and a big red cross on every avatar. It's really quite funny, especially when you see a pic of a dragon with googly eyes :D

A link to the page with the discussion regarding the avatars (PG-13 I think)

Ummm IS there like a reason that your sig suddenly became vertically challanged?

/)eath if you did that...then do something to mine :D (the predaking one)

You don't have to of course, but if you want to that is :D

That's funny. I forgot that today was April Fool's. LOL. I tried opening the webpage from AOHell, but it kept adjusting it's location by scootching down and to the right every few seconds. I didn't get the quake thing til I closed out the AOHell viewer and opened up the IE one. LOL. That's cool. I thought the site was infected by a virus or something.

<font color=skyblue>I almost called the help desk for a service request!
They woulda been pissed!</font>

Alas for me it's doing more than shaking - it's just moving further and further down my screen and I have to keep scrolling to find the window. Dan - it may please put it back to normal - I can't read any threads and it's taken me 20 minutes to post this :(

It's also evening here now ;)

I've had trouble with my eyes today, so I've been avoiding GD while it 'shakes'. I can see how it might be giving some people a headache, that's for sure! :(

I'm posting the following for Epona, who cannot get into IW with the shaking going on:

PS: Attalus is having the same problem with the screen shrinking or going off.

i didn't fall for it cause my roomate click on a "you are an idiot" link just before i logged on but man it's giving me a hell of a headache.

Go into your internet options and disable scripting, that will get rid of it. Just remember to turn it on again at some point, or a lot of websites will stop working.

And I dont know how the tradition goes in florida, but over here april fools day ends at noon. Which is 9 hours ago. Only 4 hours by server time. Anyway, Im getting a headache as well now.

EDIT] Thatll teach me to read posts properly. While im sure even AOHell must have this feature somewhere, I dont use them anymore, so I cant have a look. But you can run IE through AoHell. Just connect using the AOL dialler and minimise it. Load IE.

You've got all the answers Andrewas, it works [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Guys, I changed my script and my screen is still shaking. Hopefully this is just for today I hope.

Thanks alot, Z. I officially wet myself in fear until I read this.

well, it's already 2/4 over here. but the shaking is still on. :D

I've just been ignoring it, thinking that it is another problem of my slow pc, then I realized it was just this site... so there you go.

LMAO! Nice one Z. Now we can see how many people are using crappy browsers :D Thankfully my Mozilla browser just un-masximises itself once and then does nothing else even though the script is still running. No major probs hehe.... hint: you should all ditch IE. :D

where should that scripting be, all of found is script debugging and that didn't do anything. What am i looking for and where is it?

In the source code for the page [img]smile.gif[/img] View -> source

I used IE and only got a slight shake ofthe window every now and then...nothing that I'd call intolerable, I thought it was a good prank.

Next year I suggest Ziroc loads up negative images in GD. ;)

(Memnoch, I resisted...the other thread! ;) )

I just had to mention how funny the negative images would be...hoping you all forget in a year's time ha ha ha.

Good onya...I'm proud of you! The tone of this one is a bit better, anyway. :D
