Just hit reload on this thread when it has reloaded do it again and repeat about 10 times look for the spectacular graphical effect!! It seems to work in Netscape 4.5 and IE 5 so it's probably a UBB bug.

And yes I am sad for having found that out.

MikeH: Yeah, I see it now. At first I thought it was only my Win2000 beta acting up on me, thanks for straightening that out.

I saw the same thing, but I had to reload 21 times, so if you don't see it at 10, keep trying. Wish it would stay up long enough that I could save it as wallpaper, that would be cool.

It took me 32 reloads before I saw it. By the way has anyone seen the emperor's new clothes?

I must have quit too soon.
What kind of sick bug shows up after 32 reloads? That is one of the stranger bugs out there

Too bad UBB was off

December Man, I saw the Emperor's new clothes, must have had a great designer.

Well, I spent twenty minutes clicking on reload. Thank you MikeH for giving me something to do.

Darn, HTML is off in this form. No matter, it only emphasises my point even more.

I'll throw my hat in on this one as best in category.

Deidre nude and Yin's leaving - both get high marks from me but this one was simple and subtle. The "yes, I'm sad" admission was sheer genius.

This is my favourite post of all time, I figured I'd bring it to the surface.

This one made Imran's "CTP Gets a Perfect Score" look like--well--like a joke written by Imran. The contrast was startling. And worth remembering.

SMACTrek: I can't believe you gave the game away like that.

So you mean to tell me this was a joke? And I have been clicking the refresh button now for four months straight still waiting for something to happen. Lets see that is four billion six hundred fifty five million nine hundred seventy eight thousand two hundred and thirty six times I have clicked to no avail. Dam.(I kept a count... I am sad too Mike)

Rereading it, two stray thoughts

this is an evidence of my presence here at the time, along with Yin, feeling old, and why am I coming back here now?


..was thue aware of the joke or was he serious?...

I have wondered about that for ages. I think I actually got Thue but I can't be sure.

Thing is how many people tried it but didn't post?

You got me.

You didn't get the other one though.
