Actually the word "b i t c o i n" is completely being shown normally on thread titles on my mobile I'm using chrome. It will only look upside down when I click the thread and every b i t c o i n word will start showing upsde down. It was actually kind of funny because everyone is assuming that there is something wrong with the forum.

It is weird, I'm using chrome on my android and the word bitcoin is still looks upside down on both thread's title and post.
I thought it was only a problem on my browser but seems that all members facing the same. Just curious what is happening actually..

Haha, good one. I figured it was an April Fool's joke, but I thought it might have been done by some outsider hacking the site and having a laugh.

Actual huge problem: this completely breaks links containing the word "uᴉoɔʇᴉq" in the URL, eg uᴉoɔʇᴉq.org. Undecided

it's only for a day. should be fixed by tomorrow.
I think that a little chaos every now and then is actually good. Tongue

Great April Fool's day prank I liked it very much. But Is there only this one prank this year? Or do you guys noticed something else besides upped down uᴉoɔʇᴉq word?

I figured it out right away. theymos has been dipping in too much of fermented WS cheese.

I was not right away. This was first one I saw as I am on it so much. I did not realize it was April Fools. I really did think forum or I was compromised. It was a good one.... but scary.

Best joke / scare I have had in quite a long time.

beware of your keys.

explicitly april fools, once today is gone, then everything will be back normal.

'bitcoin' <- this indicates the status of the april fool, once the end of the day, this word will not be upside down anymore.

for me, in the b itcoin discussion sub, anytime b itcoin is used it is showing up upside down and backwards. When I quote uᴉoɔʇᴉq it displays properly.

Sounds like your coins are a bit out of whack today.

I don't know much about altcoins, so I mainly just mangled the names of the top (AFAIK) several altcoins. If I missed any major ones, or if people have better ideas for replacement names, let me know.

might be a little much...
but i'd say, make alot of common words come out jumbled a bit
know = konw
several = sveral
appear = aeappr
major = maorj
etc...
did you konw sveral words aeappr maorjly magnled?
hahah that might be extra funny

I've just noticed that the word uᴉoɔʇᴉq shows up in correct form (no upside downs) in some topic titles that 're unread/unseen (most probably in uᴉoɔʇᴉq discussion board)
P.S.-> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies
-> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unread
Theymos can correct 'em.
