April 2021 Discussion Thread

There NEEDS to be a way to turn off the april fool's joke. I mean ENTIRELY- not just changing to a completely different theme to *only* disable the banner part- I mean ALL of it. I literally cannot go to my pet pages right now and even scrolling the board is stressing me out beyond belief.
I am autistic and have non-epileptic seizures. This has already nearly triggered several seizures in me, and is about to cause me a full-blown meltdown- on TOP of making me stressed, nauseous, and dizzy. This isn't okay. None of it is okay. I don't want to lose an entire day of egg hunting and being able to actually USE the site, DURING AN EVENT, just because it's qUiRkY for April Fool's day.
The only thing I can "turn off" is the banner, and that's by changing to an entirely different site theme. Nothing else gets turned off.

I can only suggest avoiding anything for now and only refresh a neutral site (like the CS time) for banners, although that still doesn't take the top banner away.

I can't use the trade boards or any other part of the dang site until rollover. I had to avoid it all of last night because of this, and I can't do anything today. This prank isn't "harmless" it's literally forcing a ton of people off of the site for an entire day.
And I shouldn't have to change the entire site theme just to be able to look at *some* of the pages.

Just quoting this for the accessibility help.

Accessibility help: you can change your board style here to remove the header: Forum/ucp.php?i=165 and you can also disable signatures and images in posts here: Forum/ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=view . The pet flipping does not affect viewing trades, the text in normal posts people might need for commissions or similar, or the ability to collect tokens because you can view pages such as the time page: time.php to collect them.

From past pranks, if I recall correctly, having an on/off toggle for the changes to pets is not really an option like the board theme header. I believe Nick has said it not a simple switch and would involve a lot of extra hosting. I know when choosing a prank I considered the fact that it would be during the Easter event and didn’t want it to be too annoying, so personally I thought this was a good option. As it was pointed out above, we do our best to make the pranks overall harmless. Things like sorting pets might be hard for some today, but thankfully the pets will be back to normal tomorrow and sorting them today is not imperative. I hope everyone who is able is enjoying the little prank!
