Can we kill the animated avatars. They are just annoying. I have a hard time reading posts when they are on the screen. It's not even the cute girl factor they just bug.
-
You don't like my avatar? :'(
-
Got ADD?
-
Hmmm..... definitly a personal issue and concern from my point of view.
I should start using my bouncy Snoopy icon then. Ya just can't help but watch the happy little fella.
;D
(go ahead, click him... he won't bite)

Hehe, I used this avatar for a few weeks, but it was driving me nuts so I had to change it.

Go into your Profile settings, then Look and Layout Preferences and set "Don't show user's avatars".

Yeah, what Chris said. Just switch it off. I switched off the signature lines because some of those annoyed me with their large graphics.

Or if you don't want the animations but don't mind avatars in general use Firefox and hit escape when an animation is bothering you, it will stop. Not to mention the other advantages to using Firefox.

Hey, I got something useful from this thread thanks!
In general I like the avatars, for a while my avatar was actually "Avatar" from the movie Wizards, but it didn't seem like most people got the joke.
Most of the animated ones don't bother me, but the ever receding/rotating spider optical illusion is irritating. the flicker just keeps drawing my eye to it, and it is too distracting.
-
....i've got an animated avatar for ya!

Looks good to me, and it kinda fits in to the upcoming holiday(?).

IE 7 does the same thing. Sorry FireFox!

you can also just click the Stop button on your browser as well.

That's better than the escape key actually. I sometimes lose my post when I press the Esc key by accident
-
I always liked my avatar, I think i'll keep it.
But I do like that stop feature!!!

My avatar is animated. It's just really really slow so you have to watch it for a long time to see what happens. It's hilarious. keep watching.
-
At least my avatar is on topic.

I laugh everytime I see this avatar. It's the Jack Russel Terrier of avatars. Fun and lively, but too jumpy.
