98,511 times Getting excited about something upsetting leads to a spike in blood pressures:not if I can help it!

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.510 times we start counting down the days till the snow stops on the forum regardless of if we like the snow or not.

[Inge l-w]

98,509 times I have begged in my prayers and grumbled about the flipping snow, it interferes with my brain pathways, like a strobe light!

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.508 sweet fancy Moses! You pray for that? No wonder God is too busy.

[Inge l-w]

98,507 times hoping that being omnipresent that should be considered a very minor problem to fix.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.506 times we want to string up even when they do something brilliant.

[Inge l-w]

98,505 times we would gladly off for disappointing, repetitive or magpied content, however nice the result!

( By now, I console myself with the thought it's just another adaptation among decades of other adaptations, it will run its course and be archived like the rest of them! If I could sit through Gene Wilder's and Michael Caine's spoofs, and watch the Billy Wilder pustule twice, I can put up with this until it runs its natural course! )

[Van Buren Supernova]

Of all the 98.504 things I would do if I had excess money to burn, I would buy whatever iphone/ipad/macbook you have to see how to stop the snow.

I dislike apple products tremendously but they can't be that dysfunctional. 

[Inge l-w]

98,503 times they can be downright obstreperous! Please! Make it stop snowing!

@VBS : iPad and MacBook Air!

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.502 times Sherlock walks over a furniture.

 

@Inge, I was... being sarcastic.

 

[SherlockedCAMPer]

98.501 times when Sherlock does that, he ends up standing on the sofa next to or between people already sitting on it.

98.500 extra hours of snowflakes added to the timeline every time someone complains about them.

Inge, have you tried changing your Theme (using the Change Theme button at the bottom of any forum page)?  Four of the seven have no snow: IP.Board, Safe for Work, and the two mobile themes.  Just click on the theme of your choice, and you should be fine for the duration.

 

If you've already tried this, but with no success, what does happen?  When you click "Change Theme," do you get the drop-down menu?  If so, what happens when you click one?

[Inge l-w]

98,498 times, dear Carol, there is no Change theme button at the end of any of the pages! The holidays are over, even Sherlock's 161st birthday is over, enough with the snowflakes, already!

[Ruthyone]

98,497 times Sherlock thinks about Moriarty in his Mind Palace...

[Arcadia]

98496 times Moriarty thought about Sherlock in his mind palace (did Moriarty have a mind palace?)

 

Inge, what type of device are you using to access the forum? And why is the snow a problem, does it obscure your view of the screen or something like that? (Carol, I'm wondering if it's a problem for anyone else who might be using the same kind of device as Inge ....)

[Inge l-w]

98,495 times Moriarity visited the flat in its occupants' absence.

(Dear Carol, Dear Arcadia, I already answered about the devices above: iPad , MacBookAir. The snowflakes are like tiny flashes of a strobe-like effect: like real strobe, they affect vision neurons and are highly distracting, not to the point of causing a seizure or a fit, but still not pleasant at all. Shall try to find Theme with no snow, even if I don't like it's appearance! Thank you for your kindly concern, ladies, I'm grateful! )

[Inge l-w]

98,494 times I'm speechless: the main theme is named "deviant"! So the whole forum is a subtext supporter? ^_^

[Arcadia]

98493 times you never know what subtext you may run across on the forum! :p

 

Okay, I think I understand now why the snow is a problem, in certain conditions they look like that on my screen for a second, but they go away so it's not an issue for me. But I can see how it would be annoying.

 

It sounds like you have been able to find the menu to change themes after all, yay! I'll have to let Carol help with choosing one, though, I'm still not familiar with all the variations.

[Inge l-w]

98,492 times I want to thank all the kindly moderators

(although Carol mentioned something about being addressed as Your Esteemed Moderatorship during the Waterfowl Princess debate) for their support in a forum which has become a sort of home from home!

[Van Buren Supernova]

98.491 times John offers to walk his girlfriend's dog.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Inge, since you seem to have found the theme menu, the snow-free ones are IP.Board, Safe for Work, and the two mobile themes.  Hey, what happened to the Deviant No Snow theme?  Well, anyhow, there are a few for you to choose from.  Let us know how they work for you!

 

[Van Buren Supernova]

(The snow had stopped, right after Inge found the solution. I want to believe that the admin has good sense of humor there. )

[Carol the Dabbler]

I'm still seeing snow (on the IP.Board theme), just not as much.
