I do not use the site from my phone a lot, but I will browse from my phone. It is irritating that we can no longer filter out gifs. The SOLE REASON being that it goofs up my browsing. If there is a gif on the page my phone automatically switches to full screen on the gif and I have to be very quick about filtering to a stream where there are no gifs. This is a huge pain in the neck! I don't see why the filtering option for this was removed!

Please bring back the option to filter out the gifs!

I look at few gifs. They take longer and are often pointless to me.

I look at some. Just not on my phone. They do a hostile takeover and it's annoying to try and browse. It doesn't happen on the laptop though. I don't min so much there.

That's not good if they are going full screen. What type of device and browser are you using?

GIFs on imgflip are generally always displayed as looping video instead of .gif images, which reduces filesize by 10X and actually makes them about as big as a meme image, so they should load just about as fast.

Don't judge.

I am using a Blackberry Classic. The browser is what ever came on the phone. So just the Blackberry browser I guess? This does not happen on my laptop. Only on my phone. I had a brand new Blackberry not long ago and it did the same thing on that phone as well.

The gifs load just fine, a little too fine actually. They are never slow. It's just a matter of getting the screen to stop defaulting to full screen on a gif long enough to get to something else.

You would be surprised. I don't care for the newest ones though. They removed my favorite features from the phone.

Have you seen this music video this template is from? It's Twilight Zone worthy.

These are some freaky folks! I love their version of Lady Gaga in that! LOL! Did you ever watch the behind the scenes? It's pretty cool too.

I'm impressed. Most people don't seem to know these guys. I first heard of them when they were in the movie, "Chappie."

No, I'll have to check it out. I did see their take on Lady Gaga.

I had a friend introduce me to them with the Fatty Boom Boom video. I was horrified yet captivated. LOL

Apparently, we can filter out NSFW - but nothing else.

Yeah. IT makes no sense to me. Maybe they will bring that option back. It would be nice.

There's a nsfw filter?
2 ups, 5y
Yep. That's been there for as long as I have been active here. It should just be at the top of the page there.

I think that is only effective when you are flipping through random. It does not work on the streams. Just realized where you had those settings.

Who knows why they removed it 🤷‍♂️ I do remember being able to filter them out before now.

What's this template called
2 ups, 5y
Eye roll. The difference between this and other eyeroll templates if that the word are separate. Eye Roll vs eyeroll. Here is the template. imgflip.com/memetemplate/84171704/eye-roll

Yes, a drop suggestion helps. It’s only constructive, no?

Made the perfect meme for this but couldn’t figure out the way to link it without not having the image in the comment, fast enough.

Well, I figure if the mods are out here commenting in it then they must be listening. Never hurts to speak up.

I see acuity12 has noticed so that's good, but you might want to send a message to the "suggestions" link. I've had success with that before.

Not a bad idea.

Click the "about" link at the bottom of the page, there is a link for a feedback form. Might not accomplish anything, but its something.

Meant to say, I've also been posting a lot of gifs here lately, so I'm sorry that I have contributed to your plight! It's all in good fun though :)

I really hope no one feels bad honestly. I don't mind gifs. Right now my Internet is down so I am forced to use the phone. So the battle is on. LOL

Doing okay. Just trying to get a few pounds off. You know how that goes. LOL. How are you doing?

Been fighting a cold...you know how that goes. Its run thru my whole family now. I could stand to lose a few pounds myself, but then I think a lot of us could! My wife and I use advocare, the products are really good, and they work, but like all supplements it really boils down to portion control and staying away from bad food, go figure!

People around town in "the south" are getting allergies around this time, as well.
