MSE Andrea also has epilepsy. They posted [thread=31675]this thread[/thread] asking for exactly the same thing. You can link to the thread in all your posts and spread the word.I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

If you're still using firefox, you can do it quickly with adblock
After you instal it, restart firefox,
Right-click a smilie on any page and select adblock image
In the pop-up that appears, delete the very last bit of the url it shows and replace it with a star so it says:
http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/smilies/*
all images smilies served up by mse will be blocked0 -
At risk of upsetting you ...
For me, in IE they are not animated. In Firefox, yes. Is that normal, or what can I look at here to try and be useful?0 -
sra, can the wildcard be at the beginning as well?
ie http://*.fastclick.com/*
yeah, I know I could get a larger Hosts file list0 -

Yes but no http://
a little bit more about it here.
I've barely used it so can't really advise0 -
I just installed adblock and it stopped the smilies ok by stopping Firefox from loading. Had to run System Restore to get rid.0
