Arena2045 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 HELP! Around 12:01 AM (EST) on April 1st, 2004: someone pulled an April Fool’s joke on the community.The most likely suspect is the Administrator Titan; especially after his silly antics around our 1st Birthday.We need your HELP! We must compile a list of changes to the board so that we can reverse them. If a change isn’t listed, it may never be changed back!Let’s get the ball rolling so that we can return to normal operations… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlinecomputers Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 All things Linux forum has all the windows posts in it!Blast it some of us WORK on this forum! How can we do work if we can't find the posts we are replying too. This isn't funny. Fun games with avatars is one thing. But moving posts is unacceptable.

Arena2045 Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 The switching of the Windows and Linux forums, was just too confusing and almost just as extreme as closing the board for April Fool's. I've taken the necessary steps to revert the Windows and Linux forums back to normal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I received notifications of Bruno asking for help in Installing Windows XP. Also received notifications for Windows and Linux rather than just Linux. Thought something was wrong until I clicked on the forum. Saw the green and knew something was wrong. :DJulia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
