@Roz I like the one that is, naturally, out of date. I’ll keep an eye out for it to add post-update.

Ren

Any chance there’s some kind of plugin to prevent user avatars from animating unless hovered over? (Not ever would also be acceptable, but I love Discord’s hey-you-can-still-look-when-you-want solution.) I don’t really want to hide people’s avatars entirely on my screen, or to prevent people doing what brings them joy, but having things moving all over the place makes it really hard for me to read stuff.

Meg

@Ren idk if there is, but I’m gonna unanimate until we figure it out.

Pavel

@Ren I’m not sure if there is, but I do believe we can stop the uploading of gifs.

Ren

Thank you, and I’m sorry for the trouble!

Tez

I took a look and I didn’t see any mods or plugins that would cause avatars to function that way.

I didn’t see a setting that would limit gif uploads, either. I DID see a setting that will convert all uploaded avatars to png going forward, which MIGHT help with that in the future, so I’ve toggled that and will reach out to existing accounts asking them to de-animate.

Solstice

Not sure about this one.

This seems like something more suitably solved at the browser level.

Ublock and most other adblockers will permit a user to block any avatars causing trouble. The argument of accessibility versus functionality is a tricky one.

Damn hipster admin.

KarmaBum

@Solstice Not an option for those browsing at work.

But blocking users with animated gifs works.

Tez

@KarmaBum I appreciate your ruthless blocking.

Roz

Weird thing I noticed. If you’re on the Categories view, and I click through to the Advertisements board, I get this error:

If I then refresh the page, the board comes up as normal. This is only for the Advertisements section, though, none of the others, and I have at least one other person it’s impacting (who mentioned it to me).

Just kind of weird? Not sure if there’s some setting on the Ad board section that’s not on the others or what.

JUST REPEATING WHAT I SAID ELSEWHERE, SPECIFICALLY WHILE YELLING AT GLITCH IN A THREATENING MANNER, THAT THE AD CATEGORIES BUG THING HAS BEEN FIXED. THANKS GLITCH.

If I try to go to anyone’s user page, including my own, I get:

GF

@Roz Seconded.

farfalla

Same.

…as we all go to add our pronouns.

Roz

@farfalla For reference, you can actually still edit your signature without going to your profile! Click your avatar up top and there’s a direct “Edit Profile” option, and this seems to still be available.

but yes that’s how i found the issue

Tez

lmao I’M SORRY I was trying to add a thing to make it easy to add pronouns to your profiles but while I got the install working after a lil debugging it THEN broke the PROFILE so the whole thing got tossed in the trash.

Pavel

@Tez Told you so.
