Journal Patik's Journal: A fix for the new IT color scheme 3

Journal by Patik on Monday August 09, 2004 @03:07PM

By now you've probably seen the ugly beige of the it.slashdot.org section. In a comment the other day, I found a neat fix. If you obfuscate the URL by changing just the subdomain (i.e., change it to http://shit.slashdot.org/) it'll display the same page but with the old (green) color scheme.

Anyone know of a way to make my browser (Firefox on Windows) intercept incoming it.slashdot.org URLs and rewrite them as xxxx.slashdot.org? Maybe something to add to my style sheet?

But the content is not it.slashdot.org. Or did I miss your point?

  It will be if it's using the comments.pl page. You can change any comments.pl page to another section (games.slashdot.org, etc.) and it will change the colors and still show the content. But you ARE correct that shit.slashdot.org is NOT going to show the same thing as it.slashdot.org.

    Yeah that's what I meant. You go down the homepage, click on the story you want, then edit the URL and refresh.
    For example, these two URLs will show you the same content:
    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/09/18 3 1238 [slashdot.org]
    http://xxxx.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/09/1 831238 [slashdot.org]
