Haha, I didn't know it did that.

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

<S>

Same thing happened to me recently.

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?

Ah heck, I'll just leave it in there and the next time someone asks about it, I am sure I will have forgotten about it and Spikes will remind me again and we can have this fun all over again. :)

LOL. Sounds like a plan!

I think it's a cool little thing...I doubt many even realize it when they reach it.
