Animated Avatars
the Escape thing did not work for me but I have found a good solution.
It is Adblock. That is a Chrome extension. I am running Google Chrome on Windows 7 64 bit professional. No doubt available for firefox and IE as well. The great thing is that it works whenever the same 'advertisement' appears. You simply right click the image and then click the default "Block It". The only potential downside is that it take away the whole picture, and does not merely stop the animation.

There is a Chrome extension that enables ESC key to stop animations.

Hitting the Esc works for me!!!
But my issue with avatars is different.
When a member has an avatar of a beautiful woman, how do I get that woman to my home without her clothing??!!

I once met a woman who would put up with me...so I married her!
Esc works on IE10 and, I'm fairly sure, earlier versions of IE.

Or, alternatively, you could just click off the thread...
Joking asside, this forum is hardly over-run with animated avatars (are there even two?); extremely lengthy sinatures, now that is a different matter...there seem to be pages of those...
