    Lose 'em Admins

    Dear LF Admin(s):

    Lose the frigging snowflakes, and any other seasonal effects your PHP bulletin board might make possible. They just take up bandwidth and make it difficult for old codgers like me to post. By the time the effects tinkle (i.e., pee) across my browser's display, and the server presents a text box into which I can type my comments, I've forgotten what it was I wanted to say. (Alzheimer's, you know.)
    Speak less. Say more.

    Yeah. I agree. Thankfully you can scroll to the bottom of the screen and shut the snowflakes off.

    Gotta love the way those old codgers speak their mind.

    Wonder if he'll ever answer his emails??

    Dear codger,

    1/ The snowflakes hardly take up bandwith - it's just one very small image, the download is neglectable. (However, it does take enough CPU for your browser to run the javascript - and this slows down the loading of the page)

    2/ The admins added a fast option to disable the snowflakes. Scroll down and click on "snowflakes off". There ya go : )

    Funny; I always thought that message board admins were intolerant old codgers out to remove the young whipper snappers off of their proverbial lawns. I still believe this but it seems that some also post as well. lol

    Let it snow let is snow, let it snowww.
