Which forum would I ask mod about disabling animation?

kate2357 — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 01:38:34 GMT

Which folder would I post a request re the ability to disablle animated gifs? More and more are popping up and it's very hard to avoid. The animation can trigger a bad case of vertigo. It would be nice for posters to have the option to disable under preferences.

Do I ask under Q talk, suggestion box or customer care? Somewhere else?

Thank you...

@kate2357 Very good ? as I'm curious also. There's a poster who uses animation & I really like her comments on kitchen & other things but the animation bothers me.

@colleena Others have complained about them previously. If it seriously bothers people, it should be discontinued. I just find them mildly annoying.

@Kachina624

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try emailing again. Sent an email several months ago and heard nothing back. Now there are even more animated avatars and animation w/in a post. Makes it difficult to avoid.

The person knows also and thinks its rude that people want it changed, I would disable it in a second if I thought I was making people sick, hard to understand.

@kate2357 if you Google "disable animated gifs" or "disable animations on websites" many sites come up and walk you through the steps on how to do it.

It all depends on what type of browser you're using (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Android device, etc.)

Seems to mostly involve unchecking a box in the browser settings that allow animations.

Worth a try.

If it's password protected, I bet only the administrators or the owner of the password can change it.

I don't want to cause issues for anyone posting - I apologize if I came off that way. I do have issues sometimes w/my eyes/migraines kind of thing as the animation spinning if that is the right word can sometimes trigger for me. The one poster I was speaking of is so brilliant on cooking/cooking utensils/pots & pans & I so really appreciate her posts. I hope I didn't offend her/anyone w/my issues, I didn't mean to cause problems.

Thank you, but that does work for all browsers. I will use that on my laptop, but it does not seem to work the same for Android tablets/phones. I don't have issues with all animation, but some of them are very active and don't stop. I know it's my issue and will keep trying o find a way of disabling.

I used to moderate a website and we didn't allow any animated GIFs.
