    Id recommend buying the gold membership, not bad value really and it allows you to post and see pictures.

    I really like the tread "you laugh you lose". But with this new icon appearing for all the pictures posted.....well let's just say I haven't lost at all. Poor sad joke....if it is an April fools.

    Yes. Har-har. Very funny... not

    Now can we get back to normal operations? I've already had to stop using AdBlock for today because instead of blocking ads it's replacing them all with pictures of cats...

    Pretty tame and annoying effort really. Especially the way it stacks the picture multiple times if someone has a few pics in their sig.

    Way too obvious an April Fools Joke

    this is how it should be done

    Good attempt, but people might actually, like me for a brief moment, think this is boards being money-hungry and could turn some people off. If they're stupid enough not to look for the related thread and see that it was a joke, then granted they shouldn't be here anyway, but all the same :P

    Also, though clicking an image doesn't bring you to the rollover text (but rather to the actual image itself), when you manually type in www.boards.ie/gold.php you get this rather amusing anecdote:
    Error!

    We're sorry, due to underwhelming demand, there has been an error in our payment processing system, please try again later.

    [note from Paddy: insert proper error handling here - Dav to supply text for this, he's probably too busy looking at the yacht catalogue with Tom to bother]

    Also, given this is now showing up in sigs every single sig is breaching the sig guidelines...that said it's funny that people are believing it! :D

    I still can view the pics on my SGS2 using Android operating system, ICS to be precise however I can't say the same about Windows 7 on my laptop or I OS on my girlfriend's Ipad.

    So I'm really confused tbh

    If this hadn't been floating around Facebook and the like for the last year or two, I might have said it was a good one.
