@Snowy:

Can we turn the website snow off? Does not play nicely with Laptop CPU's.

Does the snow use up too much CPU?

[Giles]

Does not seen to affect me and I am the master of having every window possible open at once

Only when the imac falls over do I reboot

I remember the snow beating the shit out of my old macbook in 2011. It made the fan turn on full blast to cool it down. I thought snow was cold….

I'm no seeing any snow this year though.

edit: I'm using Safari on a 2012 MBPr so I would love to see some snow and how well my machine handles it.

[shoque]

The fans turn on because that's what adds the wind effect.

Otherwise the snow would simply fall down vertically.

Kidding aside, I will look out for a slimmer library that is not as CPU-intensive.

seawolf: Just press CMD+R, that should force refresh the page.

[seawolf]

Boom. Snow. Thanks shoque!

It takes up 50-60% of a 2Ghz Core i7, which is quite a lot for a little bit of snow.

(And the irony of bitching about snow is not lost on me, don't worry )

http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/ is 'the 1' that's most friendly that I'm aware of. A cookie/option that disables it all together would make me peachy

It's always summer somewhere

LOL that's the one I have used last year.

[shoque]

Changed.

[Snowy]

Yeah I'm still anti-snowy. It's better @ detecting on.mouse events, but still eats a fair chunk (50%).

Question:

could PMs possibly show whole conversations between you and a member?.. Not just the one/ most recent PM?.. Say you PM back and forth, and wanna check a prior response or PM, you can just scroll up to the original PM instead of going through pages of PMs to look for the OG one…

[seawolf]

Agreed. That would be fantastic.

[Seul]

So in short: drop down PM structure…

the function is there already buddy!…

[Seul]

Fiddling with it - doesn't really do what I'm talking about though…

Edit: it actually kinda does... So go to your PMs, click "Preferences", "Change Settings", then click the "As conversation" option under the "Display PM" dropbox...

Not sure if any/many of you have heard of Heartbleed the SSL bug that's been rated an 11 out of 10 for it's impact for the internet security. Anyhow, I have tested this website and our data is not exposed to the bug. I've not reached out to Shoque to ask if he's patched for it, or if we are running different/better code, but either way, we are not exposed, our data is safe against this one.
