STOP WITH THE ALL THE GIFS!!!!!

[Keir]

Hi
Was given a Papo T-Rex as a gift by the guy at the gift shop in a museum in Munich the other day and have been hooked with these figures and these forums ever since.
But I have a big issue- the constant animations in the threads are overpowering. Seeing the same manga or gif over and over and over in overlarge size is too much. I tried ad-blocking but then it removes ALL images in posts which are actually relevant to the topic. Is there no way to tone it down to let others enjoy what we came in (after spending 5 minutes filling in missing digits in a slew of dinosaurs' names just to register).  You love Japanese kids' cartoons. Great. But how is repeating the same 5 second scene ad infinitum serving any purpose?
Cheers. had to get that off my chest.

Frankly I find the link to Nazi imagery that is on the website linked at the end of your post to be far more offensive than any gifs on this website.

I'm not gonna spend the time reading it to figure out whether that site is meant to glorify Naziism or not - but my point simply is that this is a dinosaur toy site.  And a  link on this site that takes me somewhere where the first thing I see is a swastika I find highly offensive.

I agree with you there. We don't really need to be reading about the site of Hitler's bunker and New Reich chancellery on the Dinosaur Toy Forum; it's not only offensive, but irrelevant to the topic of Japanese anime gifs as well. In response to your issue, you can go to your settings and disable the viewing of signatures.

Rudeness is against the forum rules, so this is a warning first and foremost.

Go to your forum profile, then go to look and layout, and select the option 'ignore signatures'. sorted.

I deleted your unnecessary link.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Uh yeah, Nazi's have nothing to do with this forum. I didn't see the link (it was removed) but the subject matter that website contained is extremely inappropriate...pretty much everywhere!  And, it will get you into a lot of trouble.

Mine is a dinosaur...cannot think of a more appropriate gif than a dinosaur for a dinosaur toy forum...sheesh

I always find myself watching that Psittacosaurus - very active little thing. I like his expression when he looks over his shoulder. Plus, I don't have to watch that particular movie thanks to you... I'm guessing that's the best part.

I enjoy the moving signatures, though it can get annoying when they slow down the scrolling but that isn't really an issue.

[alexeratops]

If it's really necessary, I would just change mine into a still, not a gif. It would serve the same purpose.

[Paleogene Pals]

The moving signatures never really bothered me.

[Tallin]

I've never seen them as a problem and they never slow down my scrolling...plus they liven up an otherwise static page as long as they aren't offensive, of which I've seen none anyway. I agree with triceratops83 - I like watching that psittacosaurus too!

That might be because I'm using quite an old Apple mac.

They sometimes caused me issues due to my slow internet connection. But using the "ignore signatures" option is indeed useful.

[Doug Watson]

I have an IMac and they haven't given me a problem. I find them very entertaining especially the dinosaur themed ones. Simon you need to find one from the Jazz Singer. I have no clue what you look like but every time I look at your avatar he makes me smile.

Unlucky start for you here, Keir.

Unlucky start for you here, Keir.

It appears to have also been a finish. Perhaps that will change.

Honestly my original take on this was...is that really all we have left to fight about? I hope my signature does not annoy people, but its clearly fitting for who I am and so forth here in the forum. I just dint think it was that big of deal, especially since it is a dinosaur and a rather well animated one at that, fish aside. I guess you have to give people just enough room to be themselves or it doesnt work sometimes

[EmperorDinobot]

I think this post means I've had too much internet for one day...

[sauroid]

i think this was just trolling everyone here

I don't find it annoying. We had moving gif sigs on V1 and no-one complained about it.
