That's a clever April Fool's prank guys. Now, can you make it do a barrel roll?

I could, but I really can't be bothered - more to the point, I have visitors, so I can't take the extra time. What I've done took a grand total of 80 characters to implement, but it would take several times that for an animation.

I started using a new browser on my phone last night when this went up....just thought this new browser had problems displaying Evageeks, haha. I was truly tricked.
I used to work in a factory and I was really happy because I could daydream all day -- I.C.
And thanks to EVA, I've started like myself and that has made me very happy. Mr. Anno, please keep working on EVA a lot more.

It does have a practical problem with it, though: I can't check my notifications, because the dropdown is now a dropup that extends off the page!

One extra click - go to your user control panel and select "manage notifications", the bottom option on the first tab - that lists them.

That wasn't one extra click -- it was two, and a scroll!

...But it worked, so, thanks.

What do you mean I installed and maintain this software, that doesn't mean I know how it works!

Also, N a o k o has been changed to "Sarai." An in-joke I wouldn't have gotten if I didn't go on a wiki-walk through the EvaGeeks wiki a few months ago.

EDIT: Holy crap, the names are even changed when you quote posts. I hope the mods know how to undo this joke.
