Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Bob Schroeck - 12-01-2020
If you've only joined the forums in the last year, you will not know that I turn on a snow effect for the winter holidays. If you don't like it, you can turn it off by following these simple steps:
- Go to your control panel (the "User CP" link)
- Under "Your Profile", select "Edit Options"
- Under "Other Options", check/uncheck "Should the snowflakes be displayed?"

Huh. I guess it is that time of year. Again.
This is the only time I actually see snow falling. Unless I visit my dad in WY.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Bob Schroeck - 12-01-2021
Bump for the season.

Bob, thank you for choosing a snow plugin that can be turned off.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Bob Schroeck - 12-01-2021
You're welcome.

I'll leave it on, seems fairly non-intrusive.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - robkelk - 12-01-2021
On days when I have to shovel the real thing, seeing it on the forums can be a touch dispiriting... as in "I just cleaned that up".
But, yeah... for folks south of the border, it's no doubt a welcome sight.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Star Ranger4 - 12-11-2021
Depends on HOW far south of the Border, Rob.
For myself, I'm SO far south... Well, refer back to my last post
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Bob Schroeck - 01-07-2022
And given that we've now passed Twelfth Night, I've turned it off for another 11 months.

Does it count as ironic or just coincidence that today is the first time we got any snow that lasted long enough to see the sun go down? (But don't worry, climate change is a myth! Who's gonna complain about easy winters anyway?/s)
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Bob Schroeck - 12-02-2022
Bump once more for the season.

Hey Bob, Any chance that next year's flakes could accumulate at the bottom of the browser window? We have had so little actual snow so far this season ...

Are you mad, man? You want snow to accumulate? My ideal snowstorm is one that acts like the forum plug-in -- it's very pretty while falling, but disappears when it hits the ground.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - robkelk - 12-30-2022
What he said. If you want snow to accumulate, you get to shovel it.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - classicdrogn - 12-30-2022
Isn't there some extention called ScriptMonkey, or something like that? I continually see people on SB/SV talking about how invisible text is fine because you can just add a script in it to make it not invisible as if that makes any kind of sense compared to just not using invisible text for something people are supposed to see, but I'm sure you could leverage it to make a snowdrift image stick to the bottom of the window like menu bars stick to the top on a lot of sites if you wanted to.
RE: Yes, It's Supposed To Be Snowing - Bob Schroeck - 12-01-2023
Once again, a bump for the season.
