  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Help - I'm stuck in the snow!

I made the mistake of turning my 'Holiday styling' back on out of curiosity when I heard that we'd changed to snow.

Now I can't turn it off. I've unchecked the Holiday Styling' box (several times) and 'Saved' it (several times) - it's still snowing.

I've restarted CF (several times) and restarted the PC (several times) - no luck.

Like many others I'm finding the snowflakes distracting not to mention inappropriate for my version of Christmas. In Australia it never ever snows at Christmas.

Can someone please fix this ??

If not - can you please substitute a few sharks cruising by instead of the snow, so I can feel part of the celebration?

I did check to see if your being stuck in the snow was a problem on our end and couldn't find anything. So it may have something to do with how your device interacts with this site. If you have another device you may want to try disabling it on that device.
I put it down to global warming...

Thanks St H

I have a tablet. I'll go and play with it.

Success!!

I logged on to CF via the tablet and disabled the snowstorm.

When I opened CF on the PC the snow had gone - thank you for the brilliant suggestion.

Now - all I need is a shovel to clear the piles of melting snow out of the house. ;)

You have the option to turn the styling off. My previous avatar wasn't too compatible with the style so I picked another from my albums that was more compatible.

I hope you figure it out, I'm glad you posted because I was tempted to look and see how the snow looked, and then I would turn it off, but to have it on forever? no thanks!

All fixed.

I logged on to CF using an Android tablet I've had for years. I used the tablet to turn the snow off then went back to my normal Windows PC. Fortunately, it worked and I'm finally out of the snowstorm and back to normal summer heat.
