Maybe this has been brought up before..and obviously if someone has like 4, you guys make them get rid of it, and I thank you for that. However, there are a lot of people who have animated gif's in their signature and even if they only have 1 or 2, it slows down thread scrolling pretty bad, even after the page is finished loading. I think they're a waste of bandwidth to be honest, people should just use pictures and text like the majority of users on here. It never really used to be a problem, but it seems now every other thread I go into, I just can't wait to get out of because of how slow the animated gif's make for viewing the thread. This is also the first forum I've ever been on that allowed them in the first place, and maybe this is the reason none of the others ever have. It's nice that you guys have tried to allow it..but please? It's soooooo aggravating=/
