The snow animation is cute, but it's causing my CPU meter to peg.

My graphics card admittedly stinks, but I'm not going to upgrade it so I can watch snow fall on the AAC forums.

PLEASE either turn the animations off, or provide a means for normal users to turn them off.

Otherwise, my efforts to help people here will be severely crippled.

Thanks,
Wook

 

Ahh, fair enough Wook. Sorry about that, I forgot how much of a resource hog javascript can sometimes be.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just posted a "goodbye" message on general discussion, and noticed the "snow' stopped.

 

Hah yep, we'll blame it on global warming.

 

I see there is someone else who hasn't got enough computer to run Windows 7.

 

What are you running Wook?

I liked it, but I agree it needs throttled.

I'm running Windows XP Pro which I like just fine and dandy, thankyouverymuch.

The wife's laptop came with Windows Vista installed. Vista stinks.

 

What are you running Wook?

An older Compaq Presario with a 2.5GHz Celeron, 1G RAM, and it has an onboard Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller. Nothing fancy, but it generally gets the job done.

Diagnosis complete Wook. I got a hamster and wheel if you need to upgrade!

Is it the same one as last year Rob? I don't recall people having an issue with that one.

I take it there is no option to have it on or off, it seems some liked it, but it shouldn't be forced on users if it causes a slow down.

Hello,

The snow last year where with larger flocks.
I had some trouble last year also.
I have my PC running in powersave mode.
When the snowflakes where on the site you could hear the processor making more effort as the processorfan would turn up and start making some noise.

Greetings,
Bertus

Perhaps there were issues last year, just that members chose not to raise it.

I have a 2.5Gig Athlon, 1 Gig RAM, and a Radeon 8500 AIW video card. I didn't notice any slow down with it. I like playing the occasional video game, so I tend to use older high end video cards.
