I thought the subject was "Am I the only one to hate girls?".
OK, I know too much jacking has made me go blind....

Gifs always make me feel slightly frustrated. A mini movie that never gets to a satisfactory completion.

The main problem is how many they post. It tends to screw up the loading of the page. One or two is fine, but there's been a couple of times recently where someone has posted a dozen or more, and the page gets stuck trying to cope with them. (the Kaley Cuoco thread for example).


Well said, I agree. Its the volume.

There's a guy who seems to enjoy taking over every other thread and cramming it with GIFS, sometimes 6 or 8 at a time. Then when your trying to read the thread all you can see are these GIFS constantly shivering and distracting the eye. I think it does annoy others because often, once he's colonised a thread it dries up, probably because others find it so annoying

I hate GIFs, first because they are annoying, can stand so much stuff moving on the screen, and second because they use up so much data.

I wish there was a way to permanently prevent them from being downloaded.

There is! At least there are browsers plugins that block GIFs. On mobile I'm not sure how to do it.

Block GIF animations in the browser:

In Firefox, type about:config and change the value of string image.animation_mode from normal to once, or none.

Or, in Firefox, install the Toggle animated GIFs add-on: http://https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/

In Google Chrome, install the Animation Policy extension: http://https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/animation-policy/ncigbofjfbodhkaffojakplpmnleeoee

In Internet Explorer, go to Settings Menu -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> scroll down to the Multimedia section -> uncheck the Play Animations in Webpages option. Then, restart computer.
