I am reading through a few threads where a user has a bunch of posts. I am getting dizzy watching his animated GIF. It is very distracting. Is there a user option that could be added to let us not view animated GIFs? I don't mind seeing some nice Avatars that people have created but this animated stuff goes too far at times.
Got a tip for us?

Animated GIFS can we disable them?

Avatars or posts that contain them?
I'm pretty sure this isn't really possible currently, and it's been asked before (somewhat recently). The mods suggest that you report the post (if you mean post) if they're distracting the topic and add no value.

There is. Go to Safari>Preferences>Appearance and unclick Display Images when pages opens. Kind of a pain to avoid some avatars.
Mine is perfect, of course.
You can disable avatars in Edit Options: but that disables all avatars.
If it is truly distracting, you can still report one of that member's posts so we can take a look at it.

You're absolutely right...all except for the Texas part.
Now mine is, indeed, nonpareil.
Free ad-blocking plugins can target specific images. I use AdBlock for Safari for example. I don't have a problem with most animated gifs here, but I've blocked some on some other sites I visit when they go beyond what I want to tolerate having to see. This means I don't have to block all avatars or images, just the ones I don't want.
If an animated forum avatar has fast motion that makes it hard to read the forums, submit a Contact form and let the moderators know about it. Many users are perfectly willing to slow down (or remove) the motion of an avatar after a friendly request from the moderators.
