Answered Snowflakes inconsistently disabled

While the option is enabled to disable snowflakes, they are still present while viewing certain pages. So far I've found them to be active on these pages (adding more as I encounter them):

  • Any user's profile page
  • All the "View X" user pages (but not the "Edit user info"/preferences page)
  • While making this new text post and writing these words
  • The PIF (People I Follow) page
  • MOD (sub moderation) page (from top toolbar)
  • All private message/notification pages it seems

It’s intentional.

It’s like when you are in your cabin and need to get some wood or snow (to use as water) outside.

Merry Christmas!

I understand. Thanks, AOU.

A while ago, having hardware acceleration enabled in my browser had my super old GPU going nuts from the snow effect and the animated holiday poal logos, so I had disabled/blocked them. I've since upgraded my GPU and it isn't a problem anymore.

Seeing the snow suddenly on some pages reminded me I had it disabled and I thought it was a bug.

Merry Christmas to you as well!
