You are nicer than me. I would have just told the guy to hide sigs. On a bad day that is

The person whom supposedly had the seizure was visiting the site, so he could not hide sig.

"Epileptic seizure that is what your strobe sig did to my friend that was just visiting. Dude fix it no reason for cats to be ruining another persons day."

You can put at least 2 gif's...more than that would be torture =/

Well I was contacted and was told that someone had a siezure because I had this image in my sig. That caused me to redo some of the images in my sig because I feel like a jerk now, and it was time for change. I knew that people could get seizures from something like that, but i never thought twice about that when I put it as a signiture. Do you think there should be a rule against flashing images, like that, in a sig?

I think animated .gif files shouldn't be allowed in signatures.

I agree. Distracting and bandwidth-hogging. Sucks if you're using a mobile device to read the site.

Furthermore, even if you turn off sigs, they show up on a rich-text reply page.

Have you seen NFG's sig? Geez, it's like a million GIFs.

 

Since the guy was only visiting the site, why the hell was he on the forums? He should sign up and then post on the forums and hide sigs. Lol.

 

As for the rest of you, either A) Hide sigs, or B) Download the Ignore button from my sig. That way, you don't have to deal with annoying people either!

i watched that like a hundred times and it never bothered me, but if there are people here with Epilepsy, yeah, they should ban them, or at least make people post warnings.
