They are distracting and ridiculous., but telling people what to do is annoying as well.

I admit that on slower, garbage computers, an animated GIF is quite a problem.

It doesn't serve much of a purpose on a forum intended for research and discussion either.

But as long as avatar images are allowed, I think animated GIFs should be allowed.

If you would like to remove animated GIFs from your view only though,



Also, thank you for making me smile since I know you're talking about me.  Grin

@Matthew, he was originally talking about my avatar, not about yours Wink

Indeed, I was talking about your avatar. I find it particularly disturbing. Matthew has much more taste

please do so! this will just turn more users against animated avatars...

btw, is it offtopic to mention that I do not like ad hominem attacks?
you might not like Bruce Wagner, it is not a reason to attack him that way.

There are plenty of ways for you to block the images yourself, why should it be forced on everyone?
