How to Block Users on Forums/Boards

How to Block Users on Forums/Boards

If you're like me, you like to post on forums. Posting on forums can be great fun, but sometimes there's that certain poster you just don't want to deal with, ever. If you're like me, you are that poster, and this guide will be helping people block you, if you're not like me however (and possibly want to block me) this guide will teach you the ways of the block.

Step 1:

Go to your user control panel and select "Edit Ignore List"

Block Step 1

Step 2:

Type the name of the user you want to block in the text box and click submit.

Block Step 2

Step 3:

Laugh at the blocked poster.

Block Step 3

Very simple. Now you don't have deal with that idiot "hotnewton" anymore.

GIF images do not animate in Firefox

GIF images do not animate in Firefox

If you are using Firefox and can't get your GIF animations to animate on-screen, follow this simple guide to help set things right.

1. In the Location bar, type about:config and then press enter. (The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page should appear, just click "I'll be careful, I promise!" and move forward. As long as you follow this guide you have nothing to worry about.

2. In the about:config page, type image.animation_mode in the Filter text are. This determines how to animate GIF images. Possible animation options are:
  • none: animated images will never play.
  • once: animated images will play once and then stop animating.
  • normal: (default) animated images will play as normal.
3. Double check that the value of image.animation_mode is set to normal, the default setting.

4. If it's not set to normal, change the value by right-clicking on the preference name, going to modify in the menu, and typing normal into the text box.

5. You can also use this guide to make animations only animate once or not animate at all. It's pretty simple.
