is it possible to adjust it to show on just one forum rather than in forumhome? most of my users never go to forumhome - they just jump directly into the forum.

Thanks ... !
maybe can have another picture of snow ?

[Zylantex]

Thanks for the mod.

You can have any picture you like as snow just rename it as snow.gif and put it in the images directory of your forum.

Here's what I did with Pedobear on my forum Lolocaust

Installed but did not work for me. I got little boxes with a red 'X' in the center. Not sure how to fix. Any suggestions.

I presume the original poster wanted to add a bit of traffic his way, should have mentioned it though, naughty!

The script he is using if from Dynamic Drive, same as the demo link. The link is part of the script demo. Since he duplicated what was there, the link was duplicated as well.

You don't have your image in the right place. It needs to be in your /images directory.

should also point out the this mod causes not insignificant CPU usage on the client machine, and potentially affects your overall user experience. Looks pretty, but not sure it's worth the trade off. Just my opinion though.

It only works on Forumhome, and isn't meant to be used year round. Even so, it shouldn't be that much of a drag on a todays systems.

You should check before making a statement like that. I can only account for my AMD X4 950 (3ghz / core), where it loads 1 core to ~40% and the other 3 to ~25% using Chrome or Firefox, I think that's a lot for what it is.....

It's a nice touch, don't get me wrong, but my users have complained about this type of thing before. Just passing on my experience.

It's not going to slow down your system when your not on FORUMHOME. And your processor isn't going to be used by a script that, well, isn't on. I'm pretty sure I can verify when a script isn't running, or even on the page, that you're not going to experience any slowdown.
