Susan Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sorry to be a pain, folks, its a long time since we've had this discussion but we have asked in the past that you be careful with the addition of moving avatars as they can cause migraine for some people, if they move too fast. Im quite headachy this morning and Ive just had to move really fast past a moving avatar---which is also quite large---to negate the throbbing feeling it is inducing. I really wanted to read the words of wisdom too! I didnt have a problem with the same avatar yesterday but today, the feeling is awful. Please be careful!

HappyMaz Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I must admit I find some of them difficult too - and I have no history of migraine or headaches or such like. Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks Fizzy. I think it could be as I know different people have different sensitivities. It wasnt the one that unfortunately caused the problem today though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 It is possible to turn the avatars off by going into 'My Controls' 'Menu' Board Options then in the board display box select the No option for 'Display members avatars' I have done this so that the page is quicker to load as I have dicey wireless connection. Hope this helps Susan. Lxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for that tip, lullahs. I didnt actually want to remove the avatars completely as I find that quite useful for identification of people. In real life you have a name with a face, on here a name with a picture is very helpful and I know some members actually find the avatar a very useful identification tool. It can be very confusing when the avatars change too! No it isnt any of you!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 It can be very confusing when the avatars change too! I'm still waiting to find the avatar that perfectly fits my personality but for the meantime, the cat and mouse will have to do! Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Alison. I like that new one although it wasnt yours that caused me the problem! hali, it wasnt yours either, its hardly large is it although it is a little fast so could be a culprit!
