Yurgon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Since there were a couple of animated GIFs posted in the Photos/Videos thread (page 1358 at default view of 10 posts per page), I think we should figure out the forum's policy regarding these. Personally, I have at least 3 claims against animated GIFs: 1) Current browsers don't include playback controls (play/pause/rewind/fast-forward) 2) File sizes are very large compared to videos 3) Unlike videos on Youtube/Vimeo etcetera, GIFs don't scale (480p, 720p and so on) I see at least one question open (asked by Cybermat47): Are .gifs okay if we put them in spoilers? According to a test-post of mine and checking the HTTP requests that Chrome 44 on Windows 7 performs when first opening that link, spoilers don't actually prevent the browser from requesting images wrapped inside spoiler-tags, but this may very well depend on the browser, the platform (desktop/mobile), the type of data connection (LAN/Wifi/mobile), so it would be good to get some more input on the matter.

SnowTiger Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I know this is an ancient post/thread ... but How does one create the Spoiler's Category for their posts ? I'd like to post my system specs (because I have been asked for them on a few occasions). SnowTiger:joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu68 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Go to Advanced Reply and after all the symbols for Quote, You Tube, and Facebook is the Spoilers Icon. First click and hold over the text you want in that area to select it then click on that Spoiler icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sryan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 One can stop loading gifs by disabling images under visible post elements in the options menu. But that would effectively block any and all images, not just gifs. Is it within the realm of technical possibility to create another option that would specifically target code with a .gif suffix?

cichlidfan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Is it within the realm of technical possibility to create another option that would specifically target code with a .gif suffix? Since that would require changes by the forum software creator/vendor, which is not ED, then technically, yes, but realistically, no.
