Re: I hate dynamic avatars

We had dynamic avatars on several occasions on the old forum too!

Re: I hate dynamic avatars

I think when it comes to animated avatars they should be a bit more subtle with the animation. When viewing a board that is dominated by a couple of users who all use fast animating gifs it can be a bit dissorientating.

Re: I hate dynamic avatars

You guys turned them off real fast!, I was just making a point and I dont wish for you to turn them off on my account by the way. But for me it does become over bearing in that context.

Thankyou for being thoughtful.

Re: I hate dynamic avatars

When I looked at the service status forum, where it's only staff starting threads, I saw how OTT they looked!

Re: I hate dynamic avatars

Well as Chris and Harry have changed their avatars back, I have now disabled the add-on - it used to block the animated smilies Cry however, I might try and find a way of setting it just to deal with Jeremy's sig Tongue (I know, turn of sigs Roll_eyes )

Re: I hate dynamic avatars

Ahh...breath of fresh air.....I've turned off signatures prompted mainly by Jeremy's annoying offering Cool

Problem is that in order to moderate wayward signatures I have to turn them back on in order to see them in the first place Angry

Re: I hate dynamic avatars

You didn't ask

Here is another one - fortunately it hasn't happened recently - the inclusion of an ad in the sig (several reported post about it) which I couldn't see until I turned off Adblock
