animated gif
-
Some of those gifs are art (and I have several on my blog)…but so is some of the music people want to use as autoplays when their page opens. Neither autoplaying music or animated avatars contribute to the professionalism and usablility of the technical forum, which is why you will not find them enabled here.

ugh, raincoaster,
surely you remember that an avatar ends up NOT only in the TECHNICAL forum, but also in other people’s blogs via posted comments ; )
(that is if the commentator is logged in, of course!).
does it mean i can have animated avatars for comments at least? hee hee!
don’t bother to solve THIS! as it happens, i have already givan up on animated avatars.and vanbleautenbil, thanks for standing up for animated gifs. i would have too, but i wanted a closure and so didn’t bother ; )

shomoshor, I have an animated gif at the top of my blog right now. But no, they don’t belong in the technical forum. They take too long to load, and they look less than professional.
:P
As does asking questions and then telling people not to answer them.

Who’s to decide? Often those autoplays are (unappreciated) overloud heavy rock or awful home-synthesized Ave Maria’s, but that’s a matter of taste. Why not being against images in the first place, then? Or colours in templates? They ‘distract from the text and lots of images are ‘loud’ and ‘distracting’.
Come on; it all depends on what kind of blog you maintain. The screaming blogs and the pink Daisy Duck Diaries sift themselves out if you are looking for more ‘professional’ stuff.
Blogs have to be ‘professional’? I don’t believe what I’m reading. -
sorry raincoaster,
i didn’t mean to waste anybody’s time by asking to solve a problem and then later say i don’t. things were getting a little out of hand, and i am sure wp forum people can spend their time doing more important and professional stuff than solve an issue over animated gif ;)

As this thread was randomly bumped anyway:
IMO animated gifs are for kids and gamers.</blokquote>
Why gamers?! I’m a gamer and don’t like them!
