Hate to be the party pooper, but I don't! The snowflake animation causes the web browser to hog an entire core, which makes the CPU hot, which spins up the fans, which causes my PC to become excessively noisy.

It took quite an effort with the ad-blocker and style editor to kill the bl**dy thing!

Merry Christmas though!

I like the idea of it, but is there a way to turn the snow off?

[PeterJ]

Sorry about that [mention]dfzx[/mention]. I will turn it off on the 27th.

Happy Christmas!

[Lee P]

So there's no way to toggle on/off by user?

See you all on the 27th then. Merry Christmas!

[dfzx]

Sorry about that @dfzx. I will turn it off on the 27th.

Please don't on my account! I kill stuff like that at the browser so it's not bothering me now.

I've turned off the snow flakes you grumpy lot

Now I feel bad...

Funnily enough, about 5 years ago the intranet admins at work added something similar. People who left the web page open, but didn't realise what was going on, immediately started complaining that their computers were running slowly. The helpdesk was inundated.

I've just noticed of it when I read this thread!

I love it, by the way. But where's the snow?

Bah, humbug!

Typically ‘British’. There you are wandering what on earth is going on. What is this strange behaviour. Then the penny drops! It’s snow! You get all excited. And there it is, all gone. And as is typical, none of it settled Yet another ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ ‘flash in the pan’.

Still, at least now I don’t have to wander around looking to see if there is a new special lever to throw in the user control panel… (it was a tad annoying at first).

I wish good health and season greetings to all

But where's the snow? (I'm on Android now)

Turned off due to customer feedback. It will probably make a return on Christmas day!

[Morkin]

Saw it earlier but I guess it's gone now, [mention]PeterJ[/mention] must have moved the SC website into uncontended RAM...

[Bubu]

I like much this theme, and I have not arrived in time to see the snow...

Peter,

Not sure how feasible this is but can you not duplicate the default theme, add the js (if its that) to the duplicate then let users pick their theme via the UCP ?

That seems easier than alternatives.

[Juan F. Ramirez]

I've never seen a snowfall...

Bloody snowflakes!!

[PeterJ]

Bloody snowflakes!!

After the last couple of weeks when I've been thinking is this worth the bother, that really made
Me belly laugh. Thank you!

[R-Tape]

Hehe love the hat. Sorry I missed the snow.

Turned off due to customer feedback. It will probably make a return on Christmas day!

Less of the probably - it's chrimbo!

[R-Tape]

I've never seen a snowfall...

According to google it last snowed in Malaga in 1953!

[Ast A. Moore]

Aww, I loved the snowflakes!

Very good, Dave! True, here it's a very unlike phenomenon, but who knows, thanks to the climate change at last I'd see it in the future!

[XTM]

Yeah, those snowflakes ... now PeterJ has deleted them all

Now don't do it again!

[Juan F. Ramirez]

But I've just realized that there are some -static- snow over every group of threads... awww!

[MatGubbins]

Looks pretty, but yes, the snow kills the browser to zero....
