Mobile phone users who don't want to load content-heavy posts can press the "stop" button on their browsers and look at the static images instead, if they so choose.

Serves them right for using the ghastly little things for such esoteric purposes. Telephones are for making and receiving telephone calls. The clue is in the name.

 

Nailora, perhaps in some cases that should be "followed by a git" rather than a "gif"? I have, incidentally, no idea what a "gif" may be, unless it is a retarded fig.

Mobile phones aside I find just not clicking on posts from certain users covers it.

 

the 'eye roll' or was it 'roll eyes' post along with this one confirmed it.

 

Animated gifs are bloody irritating, I see the new software has stopped them in avatars thankfully.

Although the first one was a little too close to the truth...

Starry's boat painting post was way funnier....

Yeah, but "HOW BOATERS ACT ON CANALWORLD" was really very good!
