The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI have a deep complaint
I hate those moving gifs in people's sig line. The person who puts those in there NEVER sees them; but they are annoying as hell if your are trying to read a post. I hate that gorilla punching trump and that slobbering walrus thing the most.
I have stopped going to people's posts because I know that I won't be able to read the post because of the constantly moving gifs.
Sorry to rant, but am I the only one who hates these things? Really, they push me away from DU.

(15,805 posts)I also find those large animated gifs particularly irritating. Those who subject the entire community to their need for public attention must see how their choices are glaringly aggravating. Now I'll finally be able to get my revenge and turn them off!

In web design we used to call animated gifs dancing bologna. It has its purpose but does nothing to further serious political discourse.

(29,719 posts)that craze, I went crazy and am so happy to see them gone for the most part. When Underpants had the duck taped to the wall for all that time was pretty nuts too.
But hey, I found out how to turn them off! Enjoy away!

(27,815 posts)I actually like most signature lines and I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but that one, I could do without.
