showing as 1338 here yorkie, both logged in and not.

>> mine says Post Count: leet  

Your previous post count will have been 1337 - in leetspk:  leet = 1337 although its not anything that Ive done.

/me is tempted to delete one of yorkies posts to see if it really does show 1337 as leet, or if yorkie is pulling my leg  ;D.

OMG  So it does.

How cool is that? - See attached screen cap below if your post count is 1337.

(Sorry for deleting one of your posts Yorkie - but curiousity really got the better of me and I had to try it by deleting one of your really old posts in the change a letter thread)

No - the last time was me yorkie - I deleted one of your posts which took your count down from 1338 down to 1337 to test it.
...  and yes if your post count is 1337 the forum software will display leet - as per the screenie above.

I PM'd you to let you know I'd deleted one of your very old posts in the change a letter thread to take your post count back down again.
Who ever coded the SMF forum software must have had a geeky moment.   :lol:

Who ever coded the software will have just put something simple in the post count that says something like

if ($postcount == 1337) {
  $postcount = "leet";
} else {}
print $postcount;

I find it funny   :-X
-----------------

PS
Ive just restored the post I earlier deleted, so your post count will go back up to what it should be. :)

Oh god now I sound like one of those nerds who get uptight about their post count, only reason I noticed was 'cos I was looking to see what message TD had under his avvie and mine was in view too, honest.

Apparently theres quite a few easter eggs hidden in SMF


Post count changes
1337 = leet
100,000 posts = I am a geek


Posting easter eggs.

If you post "I am the administrator" with nothing else into a post, then you are supposed to get a error message "Knave! Masquerader! Charlatan!"

I already know about the next once since I quite often use it - typing "/me" will bring your name up in red and the rest of the action. eg
Quote
/me is happy
will output/me is happy

Code: [Select]
[kissy] will return a special emote and turn text pink

Registration egg

If you try to register with a name already taken, but then use the password 'chocolate cake' its supposed to say
'Sorry, I don\'t take bribes... you\'ll need to come up with a different name.'
