    I am planning my April fools joke and wanted to know if there was a mod/hack available where a members posts are "ghosted (is that what you'd call it)" where nobody else sees their posts in a specific thread but they see their own?

    Coventry on 1 thread? Not that I know of.



    Floris's sig is a bit funny, I think the link originally went to his forum where there was a long description of a meeting on April 1.
    "IPB 4 Summit 2010, Amsterdam, NL. Keynote by Matt Mecham and Ray Morgan and many others. rsvp before March 31st.!"

    I have an April Fool's Day on tap as we always do :D

    It involves Disney acquiring another company. Should be fun for the Disney fanatics ;)

    I'll be sure to drop by and add to the general mayhem, Arny!

    I'm about to attempt installing April Fools - Ban User - vBulletin.org Forum . If that doesn't work I'm going to whip up a Hello Kitty or a legal-looking template.

    I thought installing a pink theme, and posting a notification at the top of the forum that its been sold to gay liberal communist.

    But I changed my mind.

    Not sure, but you have given me a great idea. If I tell my members that the theme/skin has been corrupted, and go back to the default blue, they might appreciate using IPB with a nice custom skin a little more.

    :lol:

    Last year, I put an announcement at the top of our forums that 'Thanks to Twitter's success, we're limiting all posts to 140 characters or less'

    People went apeshit!
