hugely difficult time with blinking emojis on this site

Post Reply New Topic

Frankly, I'm really surprised that a site like this has this annoying (or for me, MADDENING) feature. I am incapable of using many many websites for this very reason and it seems to be getting worse for me (most likely due to stress.)
Anyone else dealing with this? How to cope? I am a senior, incapable of fiddling with my laptop to 'fix it with a code' or somesuch.
I have tape that I use to move bits of paper around the screen to cover up a variety of flashing, bobbing, waving, fluttering, zinging, exploding, twinkling crap but it has become unmanageable .
Looking for either advice or commiseration.

You can turn the smilies off if you click on “My Account,” then on “Board preferences” under options, then on “Edit display options,” and then on “No” under “Display smilies as images.” Make sure you hit Submit at the bottom.

well, I followed those instructions to the letter. Made sure to hit submit. Tried twice.
Not working.

It’s working for me. I’m not sure what the problem could be. Maybe logging in and out could help. That’s necessary for some setting changes although I’ve not needed to do it with this one.

If you go to the "Edit Display Options" panel,
switch "Display smilies as images:" to No, and then
hit the Submit button at the bottom,

does the result work for you?
