If you disable gifs, that defeats the purpuse of giving us the power to disable them from siggys and such. You can also limit the amounts of post per page there too. If you adjust that to its lowest setting Im sure itd get faster

Well... I have some issues with small gif avatar's like my previous one and Maccaman's... The page loads awfully slow or freezes for some seconds to load the gif.

Animated avatars don't usually have a large file-size, so I don' think they'd be too much of a problem. If you want, couldn't you just add a rule that avatars and/or signatures can't be over a certain file-size?

There should be an option for that but ... you always could go host it somewhere else but it still doesn't take away the size problem.
Just stop using Internet explorer

I don't think disabling gifs is needed.

Every user can disable sigs themself. Also loading images shouldn't really be a problem because images should go to the browser cache and are also read from there later. Only drawing the image by the browser might slow page load down.
