On all the pages you want snark snow, you need to go into the file (they'll be PHP files) find where the HTML is generated, look for an area like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>The Snarkpit</title>
</head>

before that "</head>", which is the ending of the head area, you need to put in this line of code:

<script language="JavaScript" src="scripts/snow.js"></script>

Of course, since it's PHP, you can't just insert the code, it needs to be outputted properly, make sure you use the string output properly, otherwise the code it self wont get written to file correctly and it wont execute it when someone loads the page.

Just try, you'll get it.

Please only do it on the front page (index.php) ... if it's everywhere, like it was, I will kill you ... unless there's an option to turn it off again ... which, by the looks of it doesn't look there will be.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

No if it's only done for the front page and nowhere else. Doesn't anyone remember how much of a hassle it was to read the forums or questions with those damn things in the way?

Frontpage is evil, don't ever mention it again.

What about Dreamweaver?

The snarks on every page only distract from the first 3-4 posts :razz:
at least in FF... and as I recall, I could be completely wrong.
Also, I agree with everything that's been said so far here, keep up the good work gentlemen.

I'm a FF fan as well. It's just that when I used FF for Snarkpit there always seemed to be something that wasn't working correctly. For example the reply boxes were filled with some code, and the default font color was set to black. So I thought what the heck, why not use IE for Snarkpit, but I'm using FF for everything else.

It has prolly been so for at least 5 of the 6 years I've been here.

And if I recall, the snowsnark thing was your's truly's idea. :razz:

In fact... Nah nevermind.. I'd never remember all the cool features I suggested that got implemented.

and... No the glow feature in Leps name wasn't one of them. :heee:

You mean someone set it up to run in FF, but not IE? ON AN IE PREFERRED WEBSITE?

That's preposterous. :sad:

If I have to use FF just to see them, I'll do without.
