I do not think the snow effect would work on mobile because the snow follows your cursor. There is no cursor when tapping on a mobile device. Unless XenForo plugin or theme (whichever is making the snow effect) accepts taps on a screen as a movement of a cursor alonside the regular cursor on a computer.

I may be wrong.

Great idea let's get a temporary snow effect added to mobile devices instead of spending time on other things to improve this forum.

It works alright on a mobile device, but the flakes are quite hard to see, and doesn't really follow touch very well.

See for yourself here: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/

"By default, mobile devices are excluded from the snow effect to be nice to their CPUs (and batteries.)"

Older of cheaper phones might not like the snow effect, and could lag up their devices, yes it can be disabled in the settings but not everyone is aware of that.

Yeah. It was really laggy on mobile so I didn't want to enable it.

iPhones prob cant run it but iPads prob can

If an iPad can run then most likely an iPhone can too. This is because they pretty much have the same specifications and components.

It's laggy on a lot of devices and browsers. 2 of my quad core android devices couldn't handle it.

I also think it's pretty annoying on a small screen.

Yeah, the snow effect is not meant for mobile. I do not want snow on my screen. It would just be annoying and obscure the content more on mobile than it would on a computer in my opinion.

This sums it up pretty well. Denied.

Thanks for your suggestion.
