I absolutely would've made the off choice generate 5 times as much snow as on.

I would have made this the effect for when you turned it off.

I think they lowered the amount, but a whole load of misery guts complaining! Humbug to the lot of you!

Thanks for giving us the option. For me, it's more of an accessibility thing. I have issues with my eyes, for example every 5 weeks I have to have injections so I naturally see 'white spots' so having this turned off makes it easier for me

Thanks for this.
Would be really good if this preference could also turn off the baubles because the audio is really broken on mobile.

I managed to turn off the snow on mobile, but on desktop I still have the baubles. I don't really mind the look of them, but it's bloody annoying when you mouseover and hear the sounds...

Edit: As the above guy said.
Edit2: Seems someone already fixed it!
Edit3: Sounds back now, but if you refresh the page they stop.

Not as festive as the old Festive Babes thread!

I like the snow, thought I did have a momentary “WTF?” until I realised it was a forum effect and not my new iPad pooping the bed.

Thank you!

Am I the only one who hasn't heard anything despite it being turned on and volume up on phone and PC? Do ad blockers stop it.

Love the snow on dark mode though

It won't get turned off for a couple of days now. The forum mods are away, it's a free for all. Break all the rules and you won't get banned for a couple of days.

On my mobile, which is in dark theme, I'm getting a peek at how nuclear fallout might look.

This is so awesome :cool:

I vote the forum avatars are all given temporary rosy red cheeks and noses to reinforce the climate feel.

Make it fill up from the bottom of the screen so you only have 30 seconds to read the whole page.

This is the way!

More snow please

Thank you!

What a horrible effect and an already awful time of year.
