SpectatorNeeds moar restrictions when it comes to GIF size
in signatures and Avatars, I don’t like when I come
into a thread and I can’t even scroll down the page
because someone big *edited* GIF in their avatar or
signature *edited* blocks me all the way down.
Restrict it to something reasonable, or even better
just don’t allow GIFs…

SpectatorFirst off being more or less one of these ppl u say *edited* blocks ure view of this site
I think ure wrong and that these threads actually do take care of gif/Ava/sig sizes
very well
I do see the issues with maybe having too much but a simple ask and I could size down my sigs
and to be real if u ran into a site with no life and color
just plain text some other life-less user writing words
would u stay long enough to remember we are talkin about having fun
or would u just leave ?

SpectatorRits, I meant size as in file size
and GIFs like your avatar that moves… Big signature pictures don’t bother me although I know they bother some… Big GIFs lag my screen when I scroll past them because my browser is trying to load them and there is too much to load. Of course I don’t want text, but GIFs in general annoy me it is too much of a distraction on the screen and I never have issues when it is just pictures, if I ever find a big *edited* Bitey GIF I will be sure to put it on so that it lags the hell out of everyone else’s browser lolJuly 8, 2010 at 1:48 pm #102637MajorMajorMajor

If you go to My Settings>>Forums>>3rd Box allows you to disable all avatars. I used to have it set to this just because everyone had a gif at one point and trolling went from 0.005 seconds a page to 10 seconds. I’m not even sure if there is a way to limit the size of the file in the forums themselves, that would be a question for Liam. Hopefully he sees this whenever he is back from his vacation.
And ignore Rits. She is evil. I think there are already limits for sig/avatar already and they seem generally reasonable. I used to have the pic below as my sig until i was scolded. Let’s see what the forums gurus (liam, raven, and adam) think can be done. For now I would just disable it in settings until another resolution is reached.
Actually I fear a ban so I won’t post it.

SpectatorI _HATE_ moving gif’s in the signatures and the avatars. They lag the crap out of my screen because 90% of the time I am working remotely.
I’ll check and see if we can make it non-gif’s for the avatars and gifs.

Also, there is a file size limitation and thats already enforced.

SpectatorDoes that mean I have to actually set an avatar for myself?
I have yet to actually put my own on here, every one I’ve had is Kip related and was put by someone else lol

SpectatorApparently I cannot link to .gif in image brackets anymore due to them not being allowed. Was this an intended side effect or unintentional?
July 14, 2010 at 7:01 pm #103039Liam
SpectatorIntentional.

Spectatorcan we make an exception for the major-nickname discussion thread? we need moar gifs over thar.
July 15, 2010 at 9:25 am #103093Liam
SpectatorUnfortunately, its blanket.
I’ll see if I can get it to allow the random forum to allow gif’s though.
July 15, 2010 at 5:19 pm #103175MajorMajorMajor
SpectatorI mean I would rather sacrifice the .gif usage in the Major-Nickname thread if it means no gifs anywhere else.
Oh what a wonderful world it would be…
