This is the real looking snow for your site/forum. (By "real" i mean REAL :))

You can see live demo HERE (http://forum.softmania.pl).

All you need to do is:


Download the attachment snow.zip.
Extract zip file and upload snow.js file into your forum root folder.
Now go to your AdminCP > Style & Templates > Style Manager > and choose the option Common Templates of the template you want to add the snow to.
In the bottom of headinclude add this line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="snowstorm.js"></script>
That's it! :) Run your Forum Home to see the effect :)


All options like the amount of snow made, amount of snow falling at once, miliseconds per frame measurement and many other options and their descriptions you will find in the snow.js script.

Credits for the script goes to Scott Schiller. I just used his script on my Forum, cause i think it's the easiest way to add snow effect ever. And of course i wanted to share it with you :)

WARNING FOR THOSE WITH RATHER SLOW COMPUTERS.
This script can slow down your (and your visitors) PC's if you increase the amount of snow falling at once too high. So optimise it carefully.

Feel free to comment it here :)

P.s. sorry for any english mistakes. It's not my native language :) Also this is the first time i am sharing anything here, so please be forgiving :D

Sorry friend, i searched only mods for vB 3.8.x not 4.x. It's just the same, but different way to use it.

This looks nice, but does it work at vBulletin v3.8.1?
I uploaded the script to mydomain/forum and added the code at the bottom of the "headinclude" but it doesn't work :(
I've tried it at the "default style" and costumstyle... :(

how can i make it so the user can choose if they want snow or not?

Easiest way I found was to copy the style, then add it back not using the snow, so you have two styles - snow and no snow. Then members can just select which one they want to use.
