Can the snowflakes possibly be turned off. They look great and are in keeping with the season. However, after reading and posting today my eyes are killing me.

I don't want to complain, but the added motion around the forum seems to be taking a toll on me.

If I am the only one getting this effect, let me know and I'll tough it out til spring.

Thanks.

ppetracca,

I think the snowflakes are seasonally cute, and I appreciate the thought. Thanks, Spike! However, in Web Design class, we were warned to use animations very sparingly, if at all. They're not to everyone's taste.

Depending on your browser, you might be able to "freeze" the snowfall by hitting the [Esc] key after the page finishes loading. That's what I do. Otherwise, check your browser's pull-down menus for an option called something to the effect of [Stop <u>A</u>nimations].

The [Esc] key did the trick for me, glad it worked. Will this also work on sites that suddenly start playing loud music?

Don't worry, we'll probably take them off in a day or two and replace the C/25 C/250 logo at the top of the screen with something that simply wishes you all a happy holiday.

Meanwhile, Karen came up with this and with the northeast blizard we thought it was quite entertaining.

I agree - please lose the snowflakes. I moved to Texas from Central Canada in the hope that I'd never see another snowflake as long as I lived....It's 74 degrees here today....

Gone! by popular demand. It's real cute for about 10 seconds, then I get a headache. I promise, no more moving backgrounds.
Spike

P.S. Let me know when you are tired of spots too.

This reminds me of the story about cartoons on Japanese television - they used flashing colors at just the right frequency that caused many children to have epileptic seizures.

"the right frequency that caused many children to have epileptic seizures."
OJ - you are quite correct. The frequency that is dangerous is 3 cycles/second.

Reminds me of a guy I once knew who said he was seeing spots.
"Have you seen a doctor?" I asked. "No" he said, "Just spots!"
