[Template Mod by vBCore]

Hey get into the festive spirit with this little template add-on

first goto admincp then styles & templates then edit templates and locate header and edit at the very very top before anything else. Add this,

<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/images/misc/snow.js">

now download snow.zip and upload snow.js and snow.gif to /forum/images/misc/

hope u enjoy!

nice work, you had any users report slow ness?

[blackpheonix]

thanx not as yet but it is a little slow to start with

[sabret00the]

this doesn't appear to have firefox support btw

[blackpheonix]

no i found that out just works with ie

[KW802]

Just installed it at then-and-now.net for the Happy Holidays theme. Works nice, thanks.

[platnum]

This seems to drive my CPU to 100%?

[platnum]

I added this to my site.. And it made everyone lag.. I removed the code for the big flakes.. And everything is normal now.. With just the small ones

The big flakes don't work in firefox.. But the smaller ones do.

[C_P]

Do you have the code without the Big ones so we can try it because it does seem to really slow things down BIG time.
Nice look by the way!
