I did try turning them on, but I they did not appear on this theme. I will try and take another look once the V6 "buzz" has died down a bit.

Perhaps the bulbs were pinched by one of the carnival floats, or were you just fed up with us all popping them?! :)

Maybe they are ANSI bulbs that don't support Unicode accents.

By popular demand they are back . . . .

Please note we take no responsibility for frightened Cats, Dogs or elderly relations if you all insist in breaking the bulbs.

Are they draining all the power from the Logout, etc.?

The lights are great to see again, but now I can't Logout or use any of the other links such as User Control Panel in top bar. Maybe it is only on Firefox?

I'm on Chrome where at least the links at the top of the Home page (Forum, Knowledge Base, etc.) still work, unlike IE! :D

Menus are not accessible on Android either. Can you turn them off please.

In the CSS, #lights {height: 96px;} should be 32px?

Works on Firefox now, but you have to clear the browser cache first.

Good to see the Christmas lights are back. Mind you, had a bit of a shock when I broke one - sounded like a hammer going through a window!

I came along late to the party, so by the time I showed up, all was working (Firefox and W8.1). The lights look especially lovely this year with the new theme, and since I regularly operate with the sound off, I won't frighten the cat* by busting a bulb.

Thanks, Jane!

*As you can see from the avatar, the top of my monitor is a favorite perch. My computer speakers are on top of the computer, to the right of the monitor. You can see them next to and behind the cat, peeking out from behind the edge of my white baseball cap.

Can we have Eggs during Easter weekend, with the smell of chocolate when they are broken. :)
