D.Hayden Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I don't understand the recent trend to put video clips as Avatars... 100K, 500K avatars? Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 20 KB It's very tedious.. Luckily.. I found the 'Hide Avatars' in the profile...

Merlin Orr Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Us backwoods boys with the air cards or dial up suffer.............. 2 or 3 min to look at somebodys avatar loading is downright painful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) I don't care much for them either... I have setting to prevent them from animating and turn those on. It's one form of expression that's left to users here, so I would not ban them.

Odds are it will now become a discussion in the moderator's forum.... It's still a 20K limit for uploading files, but not files hosted offsite. The only restriction for offsite is the dimensions of the file, not it's size. I'm not talking intent here, just what it is in practice.

wide45 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I did not realize avatars could be hosted offsite. No matter. I agree with the original hate of the thread. Keep all avatars under 20K. And no images in sigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Big thanks to JThompson ... for telling me how to turn off the animation in Firefox. Now I dont have to watch any more of Coolduckboy's crap, and Zhunter's pic of Jessica Alba is "frozen" in just the right place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Still no sign of consideration for the poor and less fortunate of us who have slow connections...... At least Z's avatar does not bring on the reaction..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1911user Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) I've learned from other forums that putting someone on your Ignore list means you don't see their annoying avatar again. I'd hoped to avoid that remedy on this forum and I refuse to shut off all avatars due to the actions of only a few people.

Coolduckboy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I just don't get why people can't have a little fun with their avatars? It is such a minute (mine ute) thing. I hate that people are taking this way out of perportion and creating a scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
