Oh dear, looks like there's going to be animated santa hats this year. Not that its beyond my ability!

I don't really like this new trend of animated avatars. I can't read posts without being distracted.

Agreed. I installed a gif animation blocker right away. mlnevese listed a few on the first page. If you wish to keep your sanity, you'll install one!

EDIT - You'll install a gif animation blocker. Not a sanity. You can't install sanity.

@typo_tilly Why would anyone want to install sanity?

typo_tilly

Umm *-)

... If we had a sanity, we wouldn't argue and obsess and stamp our feet about the little things? Don't sweat the small stuff! *heroic pose* ^-^

My current avatar doesn't actually animate, but it sure looks like it does!

@Hipster According to my research, Vanilla (which is our forum service provider) doesn't support animated avatars at all. Animated avatars only work because we discovered this tiny loophole. This means that there is nothing we really can do to make this feature more accessible to users even if we wanted to. I am not familiar with them, but you could try using Twitter or Facebook for this trick as well. I have no idea if that would work however...
