It was posted on the page that I was viewing, and it only freezes when the gif is in view. It kinda "sticks" as I'm scrolling and it takes a good minute to move the page away from it. Is it really relevant which page the gif is on anyways? The point is: gifs go in the gif thread. That is nothing new. I was making a polite request and I don't need horde making some dumb comment on whether there is one on a certain page or not. The fact is that there was one, and I was politely requesting that they be posted in the thread created for them. That makes me an ass. Also, excuse me for not liking his comment which added nothing to the convo and was also incorrect. They freeze the screen if there is one post or 100 posts per page. Images do not. If it is set to a higher post count, it may take longer to load, but it won't freeze.
TL;DR - please put gifs in the gif thread. Posts-per-page is irrelevant.
