Re: GIF Animations quote:
It is not a small number who alter gif animation configuration in browsers.
How exactly do you know the number of users that disable .gif animation in their web browser??  |

Oh brother...
said by Mele20:The Proxomitron is primarily a SECURITY application. I use an OUTSTANDING config set from Sidki which was released to public Proxo in Oct 2010. How is that 1995? I think you should educate yourself about something before ignorantly sounding off and making yourself look stupid. (I also have several filters written in the PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. How is that 1995)? You obviously haven't the vaguest understanding of the Proxomitron, how EXTREMELY POWERFUL it is or what it is capable of doing.  Maybe you should pay attention to the wording I used. I said it was designed for Windows 95. From the Wiki article about the app, "Proxomitron, the Universal Web Filter, is a filtering web proxy written by Scott R. Lemmon. This program was originally designed to run under Windows 95."
Maybe you should pay attention to people's posts before calling them stupid.
said by Mele20:Further, you might try to read more carefully. I stated "ALL browsers allow you to disable gif animation." So, why did you say:
"Pretty sure that browser technology can handle most of what you're looking for these days."
I don't think you read my post! Then why bring Proximotronilator up at all??
said by Mele20:I don't want to see the web deteriorate as you and the OP obviously do. Thus, I have every right to voice my opinion. Further, if you think I was "verbose" that suggests additional evidence of your reading comprehension/lack of attention problem which is probably why excessive gif animation appeals to you and the OP.
In the context of this forum, where either *sign* or *object* is the usual response, I think we can safely call your response "verbose", "wordy", maybe even "overly texty"...whatever.
And you're right...I'm a card holding member of the "Collection of Internet Users Who Wish To Deteriorate The Internet Through Massive GIF Usage" or CIUWWTDTITMGU, for short, or non-verbose.

said by Mele20:Where did you get the idea that I don't like gifs? I like them. I don't like animated gifs though. I thought it was an obvious given that I was referring to animated .gifs, and that you'd be capable of making that simple leap. Looks like I was wrong.
So here, let me clear it up for you:
I like animated gifs-- that is, animated gifs. I don't care about them in avatars, but when the funny ones get posted, as they sometimes do, I want to see them. I even download and keep the ones I like-- that is, the animated gifs.
As far as the O.P.'s suggestion goes-- I think the site here handles animated gifs-- that is, animated gifs-- just fine as is. Therefore, *object*.

Corollary to the OP request question: does this mean you want [large] animated GIFs to never be re-sized (thumbnailed, which happens to all large images of other types--so, blow those margins) or that they should be processed so as to reduce each frame and repackaged as still animated but smaller (probably not feasible)?

I would ask people to stop making 800x600 animated gifs. Seriously. You don't need to do that. |
