    I am sure now that we all know the consequences of the Avatars, we will be a lot more carefull. It was something I had not given much thought to but I will now.

    Gosh, I didn't even think about that! I have to admit I find them annoying, but it didn't occur to me that they might be even more of a problem for people with epiliepsy, etc.

    If I see any I'll give the poster a nudge, as I'm sure we all will.

    This is partly a personal request as I have epilepsy and have recently had my first seizure in 10 years, which may well have been caused by flickering light.
    Hope you're OK now Andrea and you didn't get hurt.

    Love Marigold

    Just a quick note to say that whilst doing some research a few years ago, I found that some people also react badly to bold red type too.

    Anyway, just thought I'd add this here.

    Anyone prone to epileptic fits can (maybe should) stop images/avatars/sigs from being displayed as long as they first register.

    Once registered go to User CP, then Edit Options.

    Scroll down to Thread Display Options

    Untick the three boxes.

    Now no chance of an avatar induced fit from this Board!
