Did something really weird, different and orange just happen to the layout, font and images? or is this just me?

It's not just you.

But I think it's Just April 1.

Of course. I forget you guys are, like, 15 hours behind the rest of the world*.

Very, very orange. Looks like Sunkist.

*meaning me.

Well, that's one mystery cleared up.

So, who likes the orange?

No joke, folks. Hope you like it. Think of it as spring cleaning for our eighth year.

The drop-down menus and links no longer function properly in my browser (Safari 1.2.1 for OS X 10.3.3 on iMac 1GHz G4). However, they do work correctly in my Camino 0.7.0, so i don't know if i should open my mouth.

Odd. I tested on Safari. Have you tried clearing your cache/restarting your browser to get rid of the old stylesheets?

Holy migrane-inducing dayglo orange, Batman!

Hope you like it.

Actually, I do. I've always had a fondness for orange.

I'm just a little disappointed that you made orange the new black.

Hmm...I think I've discovered an April Fool's joke. Either that, or I'm hallucinating.

Whatever the case, I'm not going to say anything until someone else says something.

But do you ever see a person leave a cathedral toting a to-go box?

I found an April 1 joke though...after you hit submit, when it shows you your post, the content has changed.

Also, I have noticed that text on some posts has been switched with character attribution and content changing to what is apparently a line from the actual strip....

I wonder..... could there be a substitution on a table join if there is an id in the (what I would call) sa_d_text table? (the table that has the text from the strip used for the searchable archive).

Yay, orange! I think the weather gods played an April fools' joke: it's snowing. Bleh. Happiest of anniversaries, Goats! And many, many more. Now I just have to find more friends to share the addiction!

Thank you. I flushed the cache and reloaded: Presto! It all works beautifully. So i feel silly now for opening my mouth.

I seem to be encountering the April Foolery now. My posts are replaced with Goats Character Quips until i reload the page :-)
