The Brand New Animated Image Thread

They thought large gifs were slowing down and killing the page. Doesn't seem to be a matter of size, more broken gifs, or the inability of certain browsers to deal with some gif format properly.
Safari I am looking at you, and chrome could do with an upgrade to that side of things.
It might be an issue with the forum board software also, but I am unsure. Things certainly creak badly when trying to load the youtube threads on any browser.

It was basically mrk posting 80mb gifs which took ages to load, shame as in gifv (or webm) they would be fine but sadly the forum just dies with large gifs.

80 posts per page = 800MB even with a 10MB limit. That can be an issue for people on phones or with prehistoric internet connections.

Yes I forgot about that, as people with exceptionally slow connections and using phones with limited bandwidths would certainly chose a very large size of replies per page instead of going for a smaller number. Good point.
It like the old no-56k threads, don't go in.

Out of interest, if you spoiler tag a large gif, does it still load, or does it wait until unspoilered?

800MB even on 150mb takes time and can cause the browser some issues.

For the average UK internet connection it's a lot for a single page.

I did type a reply about speeds and stuff but, to be honest, lets just have a cuppa and enjoy the thread...

Their problem then really. If you're on your phone then browsing a media heavy thread isn't advised.

You mean your browser threw a sissyfit >>> toys & pram

My gif wasn't the issue, the issue is a thread full of gifs which no matter what forum or website it is being browsed on even in Firefox, will require heavy amounts of processing power which many even to this day won't handle to a satisfactory level. I have 80 posts per page enabled and rarely get an issue so look at it from my point of view, I've never had a problem therefore am none the wiser as to any issues until a big huff puff is brought about (as in, the past few days).

Sit there silently touching yourself and nothing will ever get done.

I think it still loads, if its there instantly you know pretty much. That would be useful tbh

Looks like the mods are still at lunch, here are some bouncing boobies!

It took longer to load a page in the high-res screenshot thread.

Chrome has just been *really* bugged when it comes to gifs recently. This thread loads in Firefox or IE11 in a matter of a few seconds in one of those browsers.
