April fools joke for Portal

[Spike236]

Hello everyone,

as the subject suggests, I want to prepare a harmless, inoffensive April fools joke for our SN Portal. Did any of you have done something similar? I'm open to any suggestions, only requirement is that it needs to be relatively easy to implement.

Thank you

Hey,

one idea i've never gotten to do, but is pretty simple to implement with scripting is establishing a language pack for "Pirates". Just have a script go through your translation table and copy all english translations. Then have the script replace all "r" with "rrr".

Since this can be tied to a language, users can opt-out of it if they don't like it. And it can be deactivated right after 1st of april.

Regards

Fabian

ps.: If you need help on the scripting part, let me know. I can probably do that pretty quick.

Hi @Spike236,

Create a announcement on portal with the below message :

"🎉 Happy April Fool's Day! 🎉

Attention all users: Due to an unexpected surge of virtual unicorns roaming our servers, you may experience brief moments of magical interruptions today. Don't worry, it's just our way of adding a sprinkle of whimsy to your day! 🦄✨

If you encounter any rainbow-colored error messages or mysteriously disappearing documents, fear not! Simply summon our tech wizards (AKA your friendly IT support team) for a swift wave of their magic wands and they'll have everything back to normal in no time.

Remember, laughter is the best magic potion, so embrace the unexpected and have a fantastical April Fool's Day! 🃏🌈"

Hey,

Depending on how fun your department is, just update your Terms and Conditions for the use of the portal and develop a horrible "accept" UI:
