Haha, I didn't know it did that.

That'll tell you what "leet" means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

"For example, leet spellings of the word leet include 1337 and l33t"

Trust me, it did say "leet", I did not photoshop it.

There are a number of plugins that translate to (and I presume, from) leetspeak.   I suspect you have one of them installed, and so when your post count was 1337 you saw "leet".

I am not doubting it happened.  I am simply letting you know it was not the bulletin board that did it.  It was another program on your computer that did it.

I see.

Interesting that another program could affect what one sees on this BBS.

No harm, no foul and I am no longer "elite" but back to merely silver.

IIRC it is an "Easter Egg" of sorts built into the SMF software (specifically 1.0/1.1, was removed in SMF 2.0).

You know what?  You are correct Spikes.  I just rooted about in the source code and found it.  Sorry about that folks.  I made a boo-boo.

Amazing  :O
Spikes, you should put this in your signature.  :D


On a serious note, Skuzzy, are you planning to fix it or just leave it that way for the fun of it?
