That being said does anyone know how to remove the exploding lights in the java script.
I really like the lights but, for the life of me cannot figure out how to remove exploding script without screwing it all up.
Suggestions?

Do you have the .js file? I can download and look at it for you.

It's a bonus widget, see the demo link and it's near the top so click it to view in another window

The author of this mod showed you how to do the snow, the lights will be similar, the author left the lights as optional per you checking out the demo page and seeing what you want to install, you can do each separately or both at the same time as they intended you to have those options by the demo too . It might slow you down slightly.. I recommend only placing this on Forum Home.. do not place in your header/navbar/footer because it will be loading on every single page which is too much imo.

how do you stop this from freezing when you click the screen ? it seems to be doing something as planned as if you click outside of the site main page border the snow starts again.

but I dont want it to freeze at all ... ?

i can see how to make it freeze using various commands - but cant see any mention of disabling freezing.

Is it posible to make it snow only on the header? And the snow sticks even on false when I use bottomflakes 200;

[SilabGarza]

getting complaints that there lagging because of it >.>

I also need help with this.

I had the same problem. I copied the theme and added snow on one of them. The members can now turn it on or off at the bottom of the page.

Simple solution.

@ All of you

Make a new publicly joinable usergroup but set all it's permissions to no and nothing at all can be done by it except showing certain content, go ahead give it a try!

How?

If the new usergroup number is 12

Place whatever you want to show to them within this code and anything you want to show to your normal members not in this group below the <else />

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 12)">

Your code here i.e. the code that displays the snow

<else />

The code for anyone that has not joined here OR nothing at all

</if>

Add more usergroups this way if you want it to show automatically to any additional usergroup no matter the code :

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 12,13,14)">

same as above

<else />

same as above

</if>

And now anyone can click this link:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/profile.p...editusergroups

And join that public usergroup to show the snow and or anything else your imagination whips up . You can also go back to that same page and leave the usergroup if for example you browse on an iphone or Blackberry and some mods make it hard to browse or not display right then when you get home you can leave the usergroup to display the forum with all it's perks for pc or mac use

You can replace the vb.org url part with yours so:

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/profile.php?do=editusergroups

Double check it then enjoy!

Simple IF you know where to look and this info is all around in these here parts now ya hear'
