Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

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. Very Happy

As an International site with snowHead 's from many different countries , I think we should be a bit more inclusive about our celebrations. Can we have an appropriate graphic for Chinese New Year inbetween.

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:

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....

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. rolling eyes

Plus, I'm a greeting faced git at the best of times. wink
