| April Fools Text Flip - How was it done? | |
| 2010-04-02 12:09 | MGP | Much kudos for this very cool trick. As someone who dabbles in breaking websites I got curious as to how this was done, especially as it affected every part of the site which suggests it was fairly quick to apply. Was it a simple string of code, some mysterisous css change, or perhaps a script? I'd be grateful for some pointers. |

| 2010-04-04 23:40 | MGP | I don't want help to do something illegal. I want to understand how the trick was implemented as it might be something I'd like to try out on the websites that legitimately operate such as that of my computer gaming clan. Alternatively it might just give me ideas of how to develop skins for that website where everything relies at the moment on things I can adapt from open source and paid for software.
Perhaps I misworded my statement about breaking websites. I'm inept and accept that. Indeed my notoriety extends to my clan no longer referring to unexpected features (or more like failures) as bugs but instead as "MGP moments". |
| 2010-04-05 02:44 | zgeek | Yep! It was the wording "breaking websites" that had me worried. I now agree with you, that learning a new trick, leverages one to learn new skills. BTW, you're not inept - because you're willing to learn. ;-) |

I used the following css trick to flip the text: <style> * { direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; } </style>'; Found it here via google.com There are also ways to completely reverse the website altogether with images. |
| 2010-04-23 13:31 | MGP | Ta muchly. I thought it would be something incredibly simple. |
