The christmas theme is nice and all, but ever since it started yesterday I've had a lot of problems loading the forums/signing in. It takes forever to load, then *more than* sometimes it will say the page isn't available after trying for so long.

I tried disabling the snow but it's effected regardless of whether it's enabled or not.

I can't tell if it's just a coincidence with Google chrome messing up or if the snow is effecting it, because it only happens on the Runescape forums. If I disable Linkify it clears up a TON.

Shh...
No one will know...

@Symbiote, I'll look into it.

Odd thing is if there is an issue it should have surfaced when the update went out. The code for the snow have been in RS Linkify for a while, just disabled.

So disabling it should be the exact same state it was in prior to the 20th. The fact disabling linkify improves the issue suggests I need to look deeper, so I'll post back soon after I've looked into it.

I've noticed that font seems to have some sort of anti aliasing until you click on the page with Snow enabled, so I stopped using Snow since it got quite annoying.

Edit: Not sure if I'd call it antialiasing, but it seems to be blurred..

I tried to take two same-sized screenshots to show what I mean:

With Snow enabled, but before it's loaded:

After Snow has loaded:

It seems to stay blurred now, unless I click the background, in which case the entire screen turns snowy (like it should), and the blur goes. Unslain Bosses - Clan

Not seeing that with the font, I have seen minor issues with font colours though. I have snow disabled because it's too distracting. I don't like animated things going on around me when I'm reading.

Tbh I don't expect anyone to run it all the time (I'd go nuts if I did). It's nice for a one off, but beyond that it's too much.

There is bound to be some anomalies, I'm injecting modern code into ancient pages, running physics, gravity, geometry, graphics in low level complexity engine. When these pages were developed stuff like this within the browser was unheard of.

Ideally the pages would be built around this stuff rather the opposite (I'm trying to build new technology to fit in with old). Tbh I've been surprised what I can get away with, and I have noticed a few little things (unexpected behaviour) but that's how I learn where the limits are :)

@Rowley, I just saw the images you posted thank you for that :)

Yep possible, but I'm not sure if I can get it done before I remove the snow all together. Got family stuff going on atm, just Christmas stuff but I can't really focus much on forums. Believe me I rather be playing with code right now!

But that's not to say I don't want to hear suggestions, I need this stuff so I can keep improving for future themes and such :)
