- CHANGED: New type of glue for the webui header

Hah, can't believe no one noticed that
 
Fair points, all. Nonetheless, as most April 1 jokes, sorta lame (though I freely admit to being humor-challenged so ignore me).

Hi RMerlin,

how can we disable this, let's call it nice ;) Feature?

regards Boy1979

It only happens on April 1st. It will return to normal tomorrow (glue will have cooled off or something to that effect)

Might depend on your browser. With a browser that fully supports CSS3, you can see the header slowly falling down, mimicking the effect of glue melting down and the header falling on one side. Looks funnier than if it just appears dropped on its side, which is what will show up on Internet Explorer (unless running it in IE11 native mode).
 
LOOOL! I can't believe I fell for this. I read this post in the morning thinking what the hell is he talking about, what has the glue got to do with the GUI :confused: Then I logged in, :D and realised what you meant by 'glue' ;)

Nice one mate, made my day! Something different :p
 
I started drinking beer to generate enough biological cooling fluid to insert into the router by way of a readily available pipe with a small bore hole.

Cooled the router a treat...where's the internet gone?
 
RUFF RUFF for you :)
 
He has the illegal access issue and I have the top banner falling. I've been freaking out for the last couple of hours trying to fix my problem (see the attachment) and now I can't even connect to the internet unless it's my banking sites.



EDIT - I've fixed the issues for now by downloading and installing the OEM firmware plus changing my PW to something that even I can't really remember. Given the issues I've had lately, IF this is an April Fool's joke, it's really not funny

Merlin, you said in another post you activated this by date in css.
How? I don't see it.
 
Ha! Old news.
That is, if you read todays posts.
 
What routers did this happen with ? I noticed nothing with my 68U.
 
sorry to comment on a thread that isnt effecting me but i am very confused about this. how the hell does glue on the router have to do with the GUI crashing? im so lost lol

Again, the banner trick is strictly done through CSS, in your browser. There is zero line of code changes on the router in relation to this, so it's flat out impossible that it might be related to your other issues.

Hi,
To me pipe with a small bore hole means pipe is leaking, LOL!

The date check is done in the state.js Javascript file at the moment it generates the main webui layout (like 400 here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/release/src/router/www/state.js)

If the date is April 1st, then the banner gets assigned the "banner41" ID instead of the regular "banner" ID, which will apply a different CSS to it.

The gradual fall and glow change is entirely done by CSS.
 
I can't believe the response of some people.

Shakes head...



RMerlin, I hope you can ignore the feedback from these users that don't deserve to be using your great firmware.

The glue is what holds the banner at the top of the page. Cheap glue, so the header starts falling off.
