Happy Diwali!

[Anuj Dhawan]

Diwali (or Deepavali, the "festival of lights") is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn, In India, every year. Diwali is the biggest and the brightest festival in India. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness.

Before Diwali night, people clean, renovate and decorate their homes and offices. On Diwali night, Hindus dress up in new clothes or their best outfit, light up diyas (lamps and candles) inside and outside their home, participate in family puja (prayers) typically to Lakshmi – the goddess of wealth and prosperity. After puja, fireworks follow then a family feast including mithai (sweets), and an exchange of gifts between family members and close
friends. Diwali also marks a major shopping period in nations where it is celebrated.

We also put some electric lights on our houses, buildings to celebrate it. I've made some lights available at the top of the Forum to symbolize them. Enjoy!

PS.

[Anuj Dhawan]

What are you referring to as edge. Nic? And what version of Firefox are you using?

They make some sound while they burst - I've not tried it in a firewall environment so be cautious when you hover mouse, over them, in office!

What are you referring to as edge. Nic

Edge is the new Microsoft browser replacing Internet Explorer in Windows 10. Edge doesn't allow add-in software such as Java.

Btw I am using Edge and it works fine for me

[Robert Sample]

I should have mentioned that I'm using Edge, too, and see the picture and pop the lights.

I see. i did not think in that direction. I did book my copy of Windows 10 but the update has not yet arrived for my laptop, so not using Edge that frequently.

Thanks Robert.

Click on the picture too and see what happens. That's going to be a board wide setting now.

For me both light and clikcing on photo works. I'm using IE7 and Windows 7.

[Anuj Dhawan]

It should look like as shown in the attached picture below, on the top of every page. Portal page does not show them up but I'll ignore that for the time being:

That's great but I think you should update the explorer you are using. IE7 is out of support now, if I'm not mistaken.
