Ok Moderators , who owns this place - chime in.

What is going on, seems WHT was hacked.

Forum names are backwards and mixed up.

Surprised I have not seen an announcement about this, perhaps I cant find it in the mess.

Yikes , whats going on?

I think that's a bug!! April 1 is over and forum names are back to normal, but I can still see the "Login as this User" message. So it seems to be a bug than a prank :P

Was funny for about 5 maybe 10 seconds. Then just hard to read and causing people undue anxiety. Not the peak of April Fool's jokes by any means. Let's get back to business please.

It seems to be fixed now. It doesn't show reversed word, however it still shows 'Login As This User'. Anyhow, it was really funny...

Agreed. I actually got a bit irritated near the end of the day because I visit WHT maybe 50 times a day? :P

Come one, everyone needs to see this joke, remember a large audience of this forum all have different timezones. You really cannot let one side see and not the other :)

Otherwise I did enjoy it, as I use one forum area most of the time it really did not cause me any anxiety.

Meh, it just made browsing the forums annoying.

I'd be curious to see if the page views per visitor went down.

This is one forum where it is not advisable to EVER give the impression of being "hacked" if you know what I mean :) I agree with Mike. Just made a hard life harder :)

Well, don't you guy's like you enjoy yourself on holidays? Maybe the WHT staff likes to enjoy themselves too. I personally didn't have a problem with it, But i know which forum is which but i could see where it would be annoying for someone who doesn't browse WHT alot :wht:

It's an internet forum, that you browse frequently. I hadnt browsed this place in months and it still only took me seconds to figure out what forum was what. I think you'll be ok.
