for me, in the b itcoin discussion sub, anytime b itcoin is used it is showing up upside down and backwards. When I quote bitcoin it displays properly.

Holy crap was this good.  It even effects some URL's.   I was headed over to meta to see if forum or I had been compromised.... got my heart to beat fast lol.

Well done to all who came up with this.

Sounds like your coins are a bit out of whack today.



Note that these wordfilters do not actually modify posts directly, but if you edit or quote a post, whatever's in the text box will be what's saved.

This is disabled in some sections to avoid too much confusion. It also doesn't appear for logged-out users.

I don't know much about altcoins, so I mainly just mangled the names of the top (AFAIK) several altcoins. If I missed any major ones, or if people have better ideas for replacement names, let me know.

I've just noticed that the word uᴉoɔʇᴉq shows up in correct form (no upside downs) in some topic titles that 're unread/unseen (most probably in  uᴉoɔʇᴉq discussion board)
P.S.-> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies
-> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unread
Theymos can correct 'em.

appear = aeappr
major = maorj

I was going to start a thread about that, but I saw this one and got rassured that I wasn't alone. I thought I caught a malware :D ! Nice prank by the way ;) ! That could be funny if you could change Lisk's name. Given that it is a rising star of the moment, it could be funny ;) !

Actual huge problem: this completely breaks links containing the word "bitcoin" in the URL, eg bitcoin.org (https://bitcoin.org/). :-\

When a fish dies, it lies upside down on the water, this is something like that.
Theymos says bitcoin is dead.

explicitly april fools, once today is gone, then everything will be back normal.

'bitcoin' <- this indicates the status of the april fool, once the end of the day, this word will not be upside down anymore.
bitcoin <-secondary indicator

I was not right away. This was first one I saw as I am on it so much.  I did not realize it was April Fools.   I really did think forum or I was compromised.   It was a good one.... but scary.

Best joke / scare I have had in quite a long time.

Actually the word "b i t c o i n" is completely being shown normally on thread titles on my mobile I'm using chrome. It will only look upside down when I click the thread and every b i t c o i n word will start showing upsde down. It was actually kind of funny because everyone is assuming that there is something wrong with the forum.

Haha, good one. I figured it was an April Fool's joke, but I thought it might have been done by some outsider hacking the site and having a laugh.

It is weird, I'm using chrome on my android and the word bitcoin is still looks upside down on both thread's title and post.
I thought it was only a problem on my browser but seems that all members facing the same. Just curious what is happening actually..
