    A recent (8-8-13) Freshly Pressed post with a Dr. Who theme has an unbelievably obnoxious gif or something causing the image to flash on the Freshly Pressed page. It is epilepsy- and headache-inducing. Not a joke.

    I thought WordPress was a little more refined than that kind of thing. Any admins willing to talk to him/her? I find their emails carry more weight.

    Thanks buckets.

    Hi Anna,

    obnoxious gif or something causing the image to flash on the Freshly Pressed page It is epilepsy- and headache-inducing. Not a joke.

    I’m visually challenged and I empathize. I am astonished that Staff would select a post with that going on in it. I’ll tag this thread for Staff. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

    Here’s the post below. The moving image seems to work fine while opened on his own page, it’s only in the Freshly Pressed menu that it does strange things.

    His page: http://thecosmiccathedral.wordpress.com/2013/08/05/doctor-who-and-the-christian-ethic/

    Freshly Pressed menu page (scroll down to his post image): http://wordpress.com/#!/read/fresh/

    Thanks, guys, for responding. Appreciated.

    Anna

    Hi allthoughtswork,

    Aha! I think I see the problem. The image there is an animated file that on the website just shows a looping rain animation, but in the small preview image, the animation isn’t displaying properly.

    For what it’s worth, this is an unusual combination of circumstances that wasn’t intended. I’ve also let the team that handles Freshly Pressed know about it.

    Hi again,

    Just to let you know, our awesome Freshly Pressed crew fixed that image so now you don’t have the weird animation glitch appearing.

    If this happens again, please let us know. :)
