Nice hack!

Only problem seems to be with Firefox. I know this has been mentioned several times already but while the snow effects do display in FF they only seem to cover the immediate Window. If you scroll down they don't go further.

Has anyone been able to find a solution for this?

this mod is officially f*cked up --

-- the only thing that works is the small pixels, and the ghosts.

what a mess.

Yes, ensure that on every styles template "header", you add this code to the very top:

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

If you cannot get the mod to work on your forumhome, then simply add this code to the "forumhome" template above "$header":

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

In addition, to get it to view on other mods such as IbProArcade (the homepage) add the code above to the template concerned above the "$header" code

I'd love to use this effect but it's a nightmare in Firefox. Not only does in not scroll to the bottom of the page (as mentioned many times already) but it also flickers the bottom scroll bar as well which gets annoying fast to my members.

Can someone please, please, please provide a concrete solution that actually works in Firefox?

Many thanks.

Is there any way to extend the animation display for this mod? What I mean is, on my forum (http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/), the animation only appears over the first (top) 1/4 of the forum home. As you scroll down, the animation dies out instead of extending itself to the bottom (footer) of the page.

Is there a way to modify this or no?

Just a guess. Do you have it in your header template?

Try adding to your FORUMHOME template or to whatever template you wish it to show on.

I followed the instructions -- I am thinking it's a programming thing in the java files.

I have the following in my headers:

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

And the following in my forumhome templates:

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
