Animated gifs are why I've had sigs turned off ever since the option became available. It's made my browsing experience much more enjoyable.

This.

The second I learned how to(I joined the site after the feature was implemented) they were turned off...

Though I do love my sig :D

I never had any incentive to register to this site, until this thread! I had no idea you could disable signatures. So much better now. Not from a performance prospective, its just a waste of real estate. Of course there are some real wastes of CPU resources when you have some dude having multiple animated gifs in his signature that posts 5 times in one page.

Other than seeing signatures, I do like to visit this site.

OP: I analyzed your post and found where the error lies; Internet Explorer. Its from the stone age and like its peers, it is slow and dumb. Catch up and change your browser, you won't regret it!

Wouldn't that stop the video?

Also on a side note: Final-Fan, if it was a youtube video, you can right click it and push "watch on youtube" with no annoying gifs

i hope my sig doesn't slow anything down?

but can anyone reply to it without looking it up ?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
