i think that is listed under "G" in the glossary

Not this time. It was definitely there. Now how do I make it come back again? :)

Update: Here is proof. Check out the last button on Runs with Scissors' post! :P

Nice photoshopping!
Actually, I looked at the source code to see if Ryan was pulling some sort of prank, but I didn;t see anything he put in there for "moo" buttons...
I am starting to think this is a conspiracy to get the Admins listed under "G"...

Well then, look harder, because it has to be there.

TG, you seriously think wassa doesn't know? He is the one pulling this off ;)

Either that or Ryan and him are in cahoots and joking around with all of us...

I think it would be awesome if it was Ryan, pulling a prank on the great prankster. :D

As wassa suggested a while back, I think it's definitely time for a Fluffy's widget if the "moo!" becomes permanent... ;)

I just saw a moo button next to the agree button on another post. I just went back and it was GONE? Could it be the sight is haunted by COW GHOSTS?

No, it really was there, Baqash!

I saw it!!!!! On a couple of different posts, in the funny spot and the agree spot!!! After reloading, they were gone! You're not crazy, Bob, the moos are on the moove! Fluffy got her wish, fleetingly!

Not quite so fleetingly, my mountainous friend.

I have permanent moo buttons... while they last...

Okay, it seems that not many people believe the truth for some reason... So, I'm going to try to show you how you can know it's true even if you never see it...

Last night there was a "big" update... but, if you read Ryan's blog... he seems to cover it up by saying it was only one or two things that changed... seems like he'd hold out longer for more features for the next big update... It could be that him and Wassa planned to play a joke on us today and worked up a big update to program it so that Ryan and Wassa could tamper with the buttons...

I'm not sure how exactly they made it so random... but, it looks like for a second or two every few minutes (at least earlier this morning), they had it so that it'd appear on every post and anyone who was lucky enough to click on a link to a post at that very second would see it on the post they clicked on... That would explain why it changes back or disappears when you clicked the reload button... Because it would be a different second in time and you'd be reloading to a second when the button is not to appear on every post...

Many people in this thread have said they spotted it... And TG posted a picture that Ryan and Wassa both conveniently think is Photoshopped.... I'm pretty sure Trekkie Gal is just as bad at Photoshop as she claims she is (no offense, TG) ;)

(This is probably a coincidence, but) It's McBoxer's AQ anniversary today... They could be commemorating the birth of a prank a few years ago for April Fools' Day...

So, hopefully, some new people are convinced of it being real... So, I put together a group for all the believers... Join now! =)

I never said it was Photoshopped. The quality is too terrible to be Photoshop. I'd probably guess she used something like Paint which comes for free on every Windows system, and you know what they say--you get what you pay for. =)

if you read Ryan's blog... he seems to cover it up by saying it was only one or two things that changed

The moo buttons aren't one of them. If you need a complete accounting of what all changed, it includes things like changing the About Letterboxing page from www.atlasquest.com/aboutlb/ to www.atlasquest.com/about/

So I had to change all of the links, all over the website, to now point to the new location. It's easier to take down the site long enough to update all of the links rather than have a bunch of broken links during the time it takes to update all of the pages.

I don't have to take down AQ to put in some Moo buttons. *shaking head* That change would have been restricted to only one page, and thus does not need a full website shutdown to update.

I would have kept it small but our dang internet is too slow to upload the picture of the whole page... =(

Hypersnap is the same thing as a screen shot.
It is the program we use at work.
At home, I have the SnagIt program.
