GET RID OF THEM!!! lol I can't browse topics when there is a reply made by someone with a .GIF avatar because my internet freezes and I can't scroll or anything. :(

 

Haha, I noticed this on another forum too. Takes a few seconds for the browser to scroll, I can live with it. :P

Mine never unfreezes. I have to quit out and reopen every time the freeze starts. I have to read quickly and reply before it freezes.

how bad is your computer and/or connection? It doesn't hurt my old iMac G5 at all

I got it last year, it's a new Macbook that runs fine anywhere else. But for some reason on any forum, .gif avatars/sigs just destroy the browsing speed.

I'm bumping this... I may not be able to post here for a while because it takes me multiple minutes just to get to the reply box if anyone in the topic using a gif avatar has posted... I have no idea why this is happening but it's unbearable.

Go here: http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp

 

Click the forums tab (third over), then uncheck the option to view avatars.

 

There's something going on with your computer or the browser. I have no problems, and I've asked four other people I know (from TLN), and they are fine viewing them as well.

That worked, thanks man. I'm browsing with ease now.

I use Safari and it happens to me too, just not as severe as it sounds like it is for you. It freezes up for 4-5 seconds as soon as I scroll by the avatar, but then it's fine after that.

I'm still getting murdered by this problem.... For some reason Legacy's has the worst effect on mine. No idea why, and it's on every browser. Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. I know it's not the computer's fault because I've been on this site on other computers and I always have this problem.

I'm not sure what to say, though. Mine has been fine, loads those GIF avatars quickly. Same with Jessica's laptop. My brother's computer doesn't have the problem, either, and it looks like everyone else on the site doesn't have it.

 

Did you disable avatars? Or maybe you just didn't want to?
