If you want your PC , laptop, phone to run quicker on the forum , I don't know if you know you can turn the gifs etc off, mine have been off a while and it makes such a difference .

Actually, multiple gifs in one post (as well as being totally unneeded and a huge pain in the arse to scroll through) causes a longer loading time therefore can also cause lag issues with your laptop/pc/tablet when browsing the forum threads.

Yes with poorer laptops, there's no difference with mine and the amount of gifs used

GIFS can be funny or relevant. The majority of them aren't though and the GIF spam this series is ****ing ridiculous tbh. Most add nothing at all to the conversation except baiting and slowing down the thread

I could never turn them off though because I am too nosey :laugh:

My computer freezes sometimes with the amount of gifs used on here, and its a gaming computer with a huge memory and that

laptop can manage them pretty well but its still annoying to have so many, especially when people put like 20 ion the OP of a thread

This is what I mean Vicky,my laptop can handle a normal amount,but so many this year was struggle,must admit it makes a difference.

To be fair they are annoying if you're browsing the forum on mobile data.

caprimint
30-06-2017, 08:18 PM
They're annoying if they're overused (which is what usually happens), but I'd never turn them off because I'm also too nosy :shame:

My internet runs slow anyway, but I'm pretty sure that's down to the service provider and the fact so many people are using it for various things.

I agree.

Kaz showed me how to do it yesterday and it's so much better. If I wanted to look at idiotic people twerking etc, i'd go on you-tube and watch Nicki Minaj or Miley bloody Cyrus.

@Kazanne you do realize you have two gifs in your signature :laugh:

Not to be cheeky or anything but TiBB loads really quickly on my phone, even if the page has a lot of gifs. So if your laptop/computer can't handle a few gifs then maybe it's time to upgrade.

Of course , I do have a brain , lol , I cant see mine either but worth it not to have to trawl through the dross sometimes posted on here, as I said it's ok when the signature gifs are on it's the spamming of them all that my laptop doesn't like.

I don't want or need to upgrade ,it handles normal stuff fine,but on Tibb when loads are posted at once,it slows down,I don't use my phone for Tibb, gifs aren't that important to me so sensible thing was to switch them off.

Thats an issue with the actual forum not your net.

When we do IP checks it kills the forum too. if we do a 2 depth IP check it takes the forum offline for like 10 minutes and then usually doesn't even return any results :bored: I don't really do IP checks now, or wait til really late on to do them. Not sure why it kills the forum the way it does...
