Support! Even though GIFs are fun to use and stuff, I understand now why there is accessibility issues.

no purple is very important

The purple update was super important for accessibility! I also think that the ST should be thinking about other accessibility issues with the site at the moment and taking steps to fix them (especially since they've shown with the purple update that accessibility is something they consider important), hence this topic.

Hi everyone! I'm not very active on the forums, but head to my profile if you'd like to chat.

Add your thoughts to this suggestion if you'd like to see the Scratch website become more accessible!

You're right, that's another benefit from this suggestion.

Pretty much only use the forums for save codes now.

Since it has been mentioned that the ST might not have the resources to implement this suggestion as originally described, I'm going to clarify that there are three workable solutions, any of which could solve the problem:

1. Animated files are permanently disabled on the Scratch website.
2. Animated files are temporarily disabled, until the ST gets enough funding/time/etc. to implement a toggle system.
3. There is a toggle which allows each user to choose whether they want to see animated files. (original idea) - if a user has the toggle off, they will only see the first frame of the animated file.

1. I don't support this at all. GIF pfps and thumbnails allow more expression, if you know what I mean. If they were permanently gone, it would remove part of Scratch letting you express yourself.

2. I support this slightly more. But I don't like it for the reason I mentioned in #1. Plus, it could take a long time to get enough “funding/time/etc”

3. How is this a solution? I feel like this is just your suggestion, but worded in a more confusing way.

Anyways, HUGE support. Seizures are a serious health risk, and this suggestion would welcome more people with epilepsy to Scratch.

Please note that I may sometimes make a mistake and give wrong information.

Can you please put this at/near the top of your signature and tell people that tag spam isn't allowed and it manipulates the algorithm, to start a chain and spread the word? - Thanks, @EDawg2011.

But then I had a very good idea. I used F5. See, using F5 gave me a whole new perspective and I was able to see a chest I couldn't have seen before.

How can you agree with that, but at the same time be so against the idea of temporarily disabling GIFs? Although I agree that the Scratch community is terrible about handling forced changes, but if Scratch survived the purple, it can survive this too, right?

If GIFs aren't animated, you might miss some content from the pfp. For example, if a GIF pfp keeps switching between pitch black and a Scratch Cat every 5 seconds, you would be missing some context. Also, some people use GIFs to express themselves.

but the temp disable of gifs to add the toggle will be temporary. anyway if your gif requires context it isn't a very good pfp - me 2023
