If you go onto a youtube video there is now a new icon named 1911 that you can press which changes the colour of the video and plays music that you would hear in old black and white films.
It's not there anymore but honestly this wasn't an April Fools and I didn't dream it. Also, I made a separate thread about it but the mods merged my post into this one because I don't think they believed it!:eek:
Edit: Seems like it appears for some videos and not others - for the majority they do.

You didn't dream it, I went to watch the Doctor Who trailer using it after reading your post, it was great It just gives the video a sepia, crackling effect and replaces the sound with piano music

I'm going to make a separate thread about it again and hopefully the DS mods won't play any tricks on me!
Wonder how many people fell for the announcer revealing Channel 4's new minus1 service just before this mornings friends. Watch your favourite programs an hour early! I very nearly believed it then remembered what day it is.
The National Lottery scuppered that idea as BBC 1 - 1 threatened to bankcrupt them.

It's not April fools without a prank from Gmail.

The original thread that I made earlier this morning was then merged and linked to this thread.
I think Youtube1911 deserves its own thread and it wasn't even an April Fools joke!

Quite clever in that it's exactly the kind of article you normally find in the Guardian on Fridays, and any other week it would have seemed plausible.
I like that supplement they do every week with all the spoof public sector jobs....
