I have switched to HoneyBee theme to avoid them [the snowflakes].

You can just turn off Javascript...

And miss out on all the other Javascript benefits?

What other javascript benefits, on the forum?

With Javascript disabled, you can’t:

• Double click on a board icon to mark that forum read.
• As a moderator, double click in a thread icon to close/open that thread.
• Use the multiquote button as anything other than a second quote button.
• Use the formatting buttons when creating or editing posts.
• Give reputation without loading a whole new page.
• Use any other inline things like the style changer, or the dropdowns that appear in the menubar or when you click on a username.
• Probably many other little things.

Beware!
