Whats with that... dust...

[zodiac]

I hate (Snow) dust, i cant beleave its snowing on this website!! make iiittt stop D:

What are your opinions on the dust(Snow)?

(I call it dust because i hate snow )

 

[Elenai]

I like the snow. It really makes the HIVE seem to fill with the holiday spirit.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

We need a holiday theme that replaces all the leaves with snow, adn all the wood with ice.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Its fine. And theres allready a thread about this by Rui called whats this devilry, or somthing..

I totally agree with it. This site is better with the snow. It fits so well to christmas soul!! But as WILL said, leaves doesn't look well with all the snow.

 

[frostwhisper]

The snow rocks. Still you can tun it off by adjusting your browser settings.

 

[jonhpath]

WILLTHEALMIGHTY is right, we shoul add a chrismas theme with snow and ice instead of the leaves and wood.

 

[Dr00d]

It's not snow, the hive had flakes is all.

 

[Sansui]

Can we turn off certain horrid signatures that burn the eyes like jonhpath's...
seriously remove that thing.

 

[jonhpath]

O comon its not that bad.... when i try to make the snow slower it just get faster...

EDIT: btwn... i dont see how it "burn your eyes".... its just... flashy

EDIT2: is it beter now? i made it stop by seting the speed to -10 (for some reason all other numbers just make it the same speed... even 0 or -1...)

 

[Kuhneghetz]

No, what we see is Ralle's dandruff.

 

[Hakeem]

Ralle, if I write a better one will you please use it?
(It uses document.write! document.write!)

 

[Samuraid]

If you don't like the snow...

1. Download Firefox
2. Get the Adblock Plus add-on
3. Block http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/clientscript/snow.js

All fixed.

 

[Jacek]

snow lags

and I have Opera how do I turn it off then?

edith well, it's almost same in opera. except you don't need to download adblocks. OPERA RULZ!

 

[Razorbrain]

I have lost faith in this world

somebody hates snow

 

[DarkDenizen]

This snow is awesome. Do not be hating.

 

[ZypherXII]

The snow is cool.. It gets me in a very nice mood

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

You hate the dust, and you refuse to call it snow because you hate snow, but then why do you call it dust?

 

[Gauntlet2021]

I'm liking the snow, doesnt cause any damage (at least for me) and gets me into the holiday spirit. Makes me want to do something christmasy...

 

[Hakeem]

I think it's pretty cool, I logged in and, "Sweet!"

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Eh. i seem to have no opinion..

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Meh, I'm blocking this snow, it is lagging Firefox up badly for me...

 

[Eleandor]

No lag here at all...

Oh, and weren't you just complaining about never having snow? Be happy that you have virtual snow now...

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Virtual snow doesn't stop me going to school, also, is there a way to block the adds at the top like with the snow?

 

[ZypherXII]

blocking ads

is there a way to block the adds at the top like with the snow?

I'm not sure but i think you could just block http://hiveworkshop.com/ads.php

 

[Dr Super Good]

The snow is badly coded, it does not seem to be using DX so it is increadably slow and with 3 THW windows open it uses 100% of my 3ghz P4, which is a bit steep compaired to the 2-5 percent before the snow.

I am sure there is a way to improve the snow, like disabling the rendering and calculations of it while the window is minimized ( so it is turned off all the time but for when the window is up). For currently I really can not leave THW chat running while playing as it makes me lag. I am sure this is why THW chat is so empty recently.

Could you maybe do a re-code? I am quite sure Ralle did not write the script himself..

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i just wonder where it all goes when it reaches the bottom of the screen

 

[Hakeem]

It recycles itself back to the top.

 

[Dr Super Good]

It vanishes as it hits the bottom of the screen and randomly is generated at the top. Inorder to rewrite it I would need to know JAVA (which I do know a bit) and have the source of it. Even still, as I know hardly much java, I do not know what functions to use to fetch if the browser is minimised or not, as the main change that is needed is to pause the snow affect while the browser is minimised. Currently how ever, it seems the snow is a lot less demanding than it was a few days ago, 2 browsers now only take 10-20% of my CPU as opposed to the 50% they used to.

 

[Hakeem]

Considering it's JavaScript, you already have the source.

 

[Gilles]

I have no problems, I don't use chat, but I have about 6 tabs of THW open.

 

[Eleandor]

my CPU usage is 35% when having 4 firefox windows (each with 3 Hive tabs) opened... And that was just as a test because I hardly use more than 1 firefox window... I don't see what all the whining is for, just turn it off if your computer can't handle it.

I don't know what the setup for your system but I know that some users may certainly have problems running the snow.

I justed noticed something funny about the snow. When I am replying and a snowflake goes through the textarea it makes each line bold as it passes by.

 

[Dr Super Good]

When running in tabs it probably turns off the snow on the other tabs, so it acts as 0 CPU usage, try running each of them in separate windows on a P4 and see if it chews your core. Like I said also they seem to be less demanding than they used to be a few days ago for some reason.

 

[Eleandor]

done that, it's around 40% now. I have 2 gig ram, 2,23 GHz Athlon 64 processor... Not that great if you ask me...
