Tis the season!
Does the forum have a Christmas Theme, or perhaps switch out the regular smiles for Christmas ones?

Christmas Theme/Smileys?

, but that might be an issue on my side, not sure.
Yeah, not sure how often I see those ones used.
There isn't a Christmas theme anymore. I would say that the Grinch stole it, but in truth, CFC used to have a vBulletin Christmas theme, but it was lost in the move to XenForo.
It looked like this:
I have no idea what's involved in making a XenForo theme, but we've been on XenForo for... five years already? So it must not be super simple. Still, I archived a few pages for offline reference in previous Decembers, so I'd be happy to provide reference screenshots/materials, and see if I can extract some images/CSS, if someone wants to take on the endeavour.

Honestly, I'd forgotten how horrible it looked. That's a really busy, eye-hurting color combination.
Most support forums have a section on themes (we used to call them "skins"), with some of them being free. It might be worth a look, for anyone with an account there.
I used to do a lot of skinning for InvisionFree forums, but that was years ago*. I've never tried to do it for XenForo.
*I once announced to the people on my Doctor Who forum that the forum would probably look a bit odd and changeable over a period of a few days, as I'd decided that we'd been looking at the default long enough and I planned to skin the forum.
Whereupon one of the members posted, in a hushed, horrified tone: "Alive?"
Well, yeah, so to speak. I didn't feel it necessary to shut everything down while I did it, since the changes were only aesthetic, and wouldn't change how anything actually functioned.
Time to turn these off now
They probably are already. If you clear your cache, they should disappear.

Done!
If i do that will I lose all my log ins?
Awesome, thanks!
Or just clear your cookies. You can do those individually, though it takes awhile if you have a lot. But yeah, you'd be logged out (so make sure you remember your password first, finish whatever posts you're composing, and bookmark anything important.

Oh, just [ctrl]F5.
I didn't do any cash clearing, but they have reverted to non-christmas themed now.
Apparently donations are now a thing here, though thankfully that's not required to deal with the smileys...
I think I will become a supporter after I have been here a year.
