Are any of the options working for you or is it just them two?

I enjoyed the hack, it lagged the site alot though and had to remove it. Thanks

I can't get the bats or ghosts to work properly with Firefox either.

What I did to substitute was: rename the ghost1.gif to easter.gif
(I also reduced the image to half it's size)

Then open the 12.js script and change:

var no = 10;

10 represents the number of images on the screen, I changed it to 3.

also change:

setTimeout("snowIE_NS6()", 10);

10 represents the speed, I changed mine to 25 to slow them down a bit.


Re-upload the editted files, then in ACP choose Easter Basket as the Seasonal Effect.



It's a primative way to do it, but it serves it's purpose.

I thought about doing this one just for halloween but it seems kind of glitchy from reading this thread. Anyone have success on 3.6.5?

[tigrattack]

Works fine with 3.6.5 with IE, but has a problem with Firefox.

As I can see...the issue isn't with the vb version, it's a browser issue.

[towermatt]

Thanks tigrattack--I think most of mine use firefox so I am worried about that one. I guess I could throw it on in the middle of the night and see what happens.

[bazzup]

I have the witches working but not the other two halloween ones in any browser so witches it is lol

Ya know... this about your 4th or 5th complaint about lagging... no one else is complaining and I installed it and it is working flawlessly... Perhaps you need to rethink your forum setup because it is not this plugin...

I do wish there were more options, or a way to easily install more....

You could always throw a browser IF conditional in I suppose, or even just test how it works on your forum with firefox as when I was testing it did work fine on FF.
