And ya'll have snow all over yas.

:sorry:
I am so glad I've got it turned off and don't have to put up with it. To be honest, I suspect the main reason behind the recent software change/upgrade was because someone in CF management wanted to implement these 'cool' features. Thankfully they can be disabled in our personal profiles so people such as myself who hate the feature with a passion can turn it off :)

I am LOVING it, I love snow, I miss it as the area I live in in New Zealand doesn't get any. I miss my white Christmases back home, so yes, I LOVE it.

I FINALLY figured it out.....I clicked on the miniature personal avatar right next to the search icon in the right side of the overhead menu bar. Then I clicked on the little icon of the person with a gearwheel next to him. Then I clicked on "Preferences", and I checked the box that says, "Disable holiday styling", and the snow stopped. No more fluttering flakes driving me insane as I'm trying to read through threads. Whew, am I glad I figured that out!!!!

thank you for explaining where to turn it off, I have the dark theme enabled and the snow was very distracting.

I assume that the majority of people posting on CF reside in North America, but these holiday features like snow etc. look pretty stupid considering we are in the middle of Summer where I am. Same with Thanksgiving. That isn't celebrated anywhere else in the world than the USA.

I just wonder who it was that wanted this feature in the first place.
I don’t know. If I had my way, the board would be as it was but I guess they needed to change it up for security reasons, etc.

SO I turned on the dark and it's pretty cool.

My second childhood I suspect. :D
