Make it snow for the holidays!
Step 1: Save and upload to your site one of the following 3 images (depending on the effect you want), by right clicking the image, and choosing "save as":
Step 2: Having done that, simply add the below chunk of code to the Header section of your page: (In vbulletin add this to the header to have it in all pages or add it to forumhome to have it only in the index)
Copy and paste this code and add it to header or wherever you want:
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the "snowsrc" variable in the above code correctly references the full URL path to the image used. Enjoy!
for example right now is: var snowsrc="snow.gif"
you may change that to:
var snowsrc="yoursite.com/images/snow.gif" or where ever you placed the image.
Remember to rename the snow images to snow.gif if you plan to use any other image, or simply point the path to that image!
