Is doing my head in. It is flashing on and off in a strobe like fashion, making the logo and all the assorted snowflakes come and go. If i had epilepsy i may well be lieing on the floor right now suffering from a seizure!
please make it go away!

shoogly, unfortunately (imo) they do like their animations round here. Expect it to stay until about mid-March, just in time to have an easter bunny leaping around your screen !
Anyway, in the meantime if you go into User Facilities at the top left of the screen, then forum profile, you can change your board style to subBlack, and it all goes away.

brian, so it does. Leaves 'snowHeads' in a vile luminous yellow - but on balance an improvement.

If you have firefox you can choose to run (or not run) flash content with this add on.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
Its also quite useful for stopping flash based ads on sites, the downside is that you need to click on flash content you do want to see.

If your using firefox it also stops you from clicking any links on the page it is layered over. Use adblock plus to block this file and it will all work again:

Thanks for that. It was showing up a just a huge white box over the top of most of the page content for me, gone now though.

xjenkins, Is "adblock plus" much better than "adblock", I have not used it because it sounded like you needed a subscription for the filterset.

xjenkins, you are a genius. Pity the thing was there in the first place to cause the grief (I can do ungrateful) - but ABP has knocked it out, so I can now go back to my preferred skin which has the bells and whistlesI do want.

True, it does nothing.
But really, if your machine is so slow that that animation makes a difference to your browsing it may be time to get an new computer.

Hi jbob, I'm not sure it's that much better than adblock, it's just what I have installed - never had to pay for the filterset, i just use the default one and hardly ever see any ads....

Frosty the Snowman, it's a sad day when an 11 yr old spend hours creating a new logo and all people can do is have a go at his work

Elizabeth B, I don't think they are having a go at the quality of the work, perhaps it is a testament to the perfection of snowHeads that when there is a change it makes folks uneasy

Elizabeth B, difficult to write anything here without coming across as a scroogetrocious curmudgeon but what the hell ....
This is a high traffic, several hundreds of users, forum about skiing, not a playground for 11 year old animators (it's mighty impressive work for an 11 year old, btw, but that's beside the point). At the time of introduction it knackered all sorts of links, text boxes etc. which was a pita.
Maybe for a day or 2 around xmas and assuming it didn't break anything we could all have gone, "ah, isn't that nice", but having it weeks in advance (and knowing it probably won't be switched off for a few weeks afterwards) you know it's going to get wearing.
Plus, I'm a greeting faced git at the best of times.
