Title: [Suggestion] Rules on Animated Images should be changed Post by: tbct_mt2 on April 20, 2019, 04:00:43 AM In my perspective, Animated Images are cooly things of the forum, only if they were made at slow motion rates. I am not a graphic designer, so maybe I used wrong technical term here (please ignore such mistakes and correct me, if you find them).
Theymos disabled new APNGs around two months ago due to complaints from forum users that there are spam APNGs, mostly come from casinos' promotions. OK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now, in part because people have ongoing campaigns, but in the future I might (or might not) go through and remove them. I still thought of it, because I saw some really cooly, unannoying animated images used for avatars, like Vod'shttps://i.imgur.com/aWOCV8N.png Or some others: https://i.imgur.com/7oezfwd.png https://i.imgur.com/4ol0ctQ.png https://i.imgur.com/5lAqLZQ.png https://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_20648.gif I think it might be better if admin can write some codes to measure duration of motions or frame speeds of animated images. Images that have acceptable duration of motions / frame speeds should be accepted to use. I believe that forum members will support this ideas because slow-motioned animated images don't annoy our eyes (Maybe I am wrong). Somehow those cooly animate images help us to relax a little bit, and it's cool. Stop animated images in FireFox / Tor browser / Chrome (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114171.0) Is it possible to remove old animated avatars?

There was a period of time with no avatars at all (except a few grandfathered ones) and it was fine. I'd rather go back to that than allow more ways for ad campaigns to annoy us.

I have been not in the forum too long so I actually don't know how it looked like, but I read that theymos said that some day he might disable all signature, to bring the forum back to its pure phase, just might or might not.What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality? I have mostly ruled out: - Removing signatures or sig ads globally.

The new version of the forum has the best shape in the Avatar display, you can try it here ----> https://www.cryptos-currencies.com. You BTW: I wish I could wear these. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( https://i.imgur.com/7oezfwd.png Title: Re: [Suggestion] Rules on Animated Images should be changed Post by: tbct_mt2 on April 20, 2019, 07:39:35 AM The forum you shared is strange, the new forum should be Epochtalk. ???
I will discover that forum more later, not now. Maybe iasenko run that one as a test for Epochtalk, didn't he? I found it myself that the test forum runs by another guy, not iasenko.

The New forum software is Epochtalk, The forum link shared by @Hugeblack is running on Epochtalk software and it was voluntarily created by a member for testing and discovering any bugs in Epochtalk.I will discover that forum more later, not now. Maybe iasenko run that one as a test for Epochtalk, didn't he? I found it myself that the test forum runs by another guy, not iasenko. Here is the annoucement the member made: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115500.0 Otherwise, i would love the idea of less annoying animated avatar images too.

For now, Stake's animated avatar likely the most intensively appeared ones in the forum
