# Could you fix
the preview that messes up when you post animated gifs?

edit: or the option to disable it?

# Actually, I don't know about that problem
Could you explain it a bit more?

(And see if it's still not working quite right? I stuck in some changes yesterday which might well have fixed it.)

# oh I`ve seen that
it`s the live preview as you enter the URL and it starts trying to download everything as you type (I don`t C+P them usually) and it starts flashing like mad - sometimes flicks between the firefox redex (the pizza thing) and the image rapidly until you hit post, even though you`ve completed the URL

might just be something in firefox.. dunno

# it shouldn't update *while* you're typing now
just while you're taking a break. And then only once. So it might be fixed now.

(And I missed a point in Caro's original post -- livepreview is an option in your profile, and even defaults to disabled I think?)

EDIT: okay, it's better than it used to be, but it can still update while you type. Need a better fix, I guess...

# i don't know if i'm having the same problem.
but about half way through posting gifs, preview kind of flashes and flickers,like it doesn't seem to know what's going on, this continues until you hit 'post this message' and it appears on the board all loverly. i can't recall it happening when i was running IE but in firefox it happens.

edit/i wish my typing was quicker cos in the time this took to write, an answer appeared.
