BRiT Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) @limetech , @jonp , @eschultz How does one disable the display of user Avatars on forum posts? Why would I ever want to do that you ask? It's because I'm noticing extremely annoying ANIMATED avatars used by new users that I find extremely distracting to the point of them ruining the forum experience.

(besides, your avatar fired the first shot ) The issue was a single user with a psychedelic seizure inducing gif that is very annoying. One way I can think to eliminate the issue fairly is to change the view selectively like signatures are currently handled. The nuclear option of disallowing animation in avatars is another, but penalizes those who use the option tastefully. Not everybody is bothered or cares, but to some it's really annoying, to the point of destructive urges. 1 Quote Link to comment

The upload dialog mentions jpg, and png... not gif.. even tho I clicked one and it worked :\ Sorry. Quote Link to comment

jonp Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I’ll look into this and see what options we have. Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 These are all the options we have. I’m inclined to just disable animated profile pictures. They aren’t necessary and I agree with BRiT that they can be downright painful to look at. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
