No, that would be way too helpful. Somehow i don't think that's the purpose here.

YOU MAY BE ADDRESSING THIS BUT I CAN'T READ THE BOARDS TO FIND OUT. I HAVE SOME FONT THAT IS SMALL AND ALL CAPS AND LOOKS LIKE OUTLINING. SOME FONT IS SPRAWLY AND FLOWERY. I CAN'T MAKE OUT MOST OF THE WORDS. LETTERS ON MOST PAGES ARE HUGE AS IS THIS NOTE I'M WRITING.

If this is the better font than what you had earlier, I'm glad I missed the earlier font. This one is difficult to read too. Glad it'll be gone soon. :) (I do like the sideways smile, though.)

I bet there's been a noticeable spike in LbNA traffic today. I'm sure many people are looking for a readable website to get clues.

(Is it sad that I could make this post without being able to read any of the links that I was clicking?)

I'm having trouble reading your message. Did you just say that you want something worse to come next? I'm not sure that would be a popular idea....

You can always over ride the AQ themes and put in your preferences for whatever theme you prefer, but that might be a premium member perk....

Firefox also has a quick setting to override fonts on websites. For the vision-impaired people I guess.

Maybe you could take pity on those of us who stuck it out all day, and revert to something readable now?

A hard to read font has been used all day. Don't expect it to change until at least midnight Eastern Daylight Time. I think that will make it 24 hours. However, GT may wait until midnight Pacific Daylight Time, just to keep the stress levels up.

I figure if the hamster gets too cocky, I'll put their cages side by side. . . just as a warning.

can't even imagine a dwarf hamster being cocky.
Okay, okay... the font is back to normal!

As most of you quickly realized, those horrible fonts I used today were this year's April Fools joke. I also didn't move AQ to a new server last night. That was just part of the setup so a "cloud-based" server could serve as an excuse to start using a "cloud-based" font.

But in my defense:

  1. Wassa made me do it (It was even his idea! I just ran with it....)
  2. I did warn everyone yesterday that it would be best to print clues you'd need for today... yesterday. =)
  3. Anyone who's used AQ for more than a year knew shenanigans were going to happen today and that today might not be the best day to get stuff done on AQ. ;o)

For those of you who did sit out April Fools and are reading this later and thinking, What did I miss?! I want to see these horrible fonts I hear everyone talking about!

You can still access them because they're custom themes which you can find at:


Sorry for any inconvenience, but I hope most of you could see the humor and ridiculousness of the prank! =)

Until next year....

Not sure if it is related... but many months ago, I believe I saw a note from someone re: content from the Mapsurfer site being cleared away... and it would be in this Springtime...

Maybe it's related to a shakeup there... given certain relationships that are known...

Anyway it's possible... I hope that content is protected... I haven't solved all of those yet... a lot but not all... I think I have my own copies of things... but can't remember where they all went or survived some computer tribulations...

EDIT: found it and it said it would be 09/18 and only content there.
I take that as being Sep 2018... Might not be directly why, but might be related... as things move around.

anyway it was just a possibility of relation... like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny... I'll see if I can find that note... on here.

I agree. I was planning on prepping for the Egg Hunt event today. Tried, but got too frustrated and decided to go for a hike. I will begin tomorrow as well.
