Do you get Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered when trying to  email this discussion to a friend?

Respond to a Post which has a Pulsating Avatar, flashing in different colors, and jumping around in confusing directions? Well I do, and its so uncomfortable for me I just leave it, and move on to another page, where I can relax, and begin again, to think like a lucid person. Makes no sense to use such mind bobbling idiocracies when there are multitudes of right-minded ways to attract attention to your Post. Whats your view on this craziness?

When you see post like this, it make you lose your thought, because your mind is focus on the flashing lights, instead what you are answering, and then you forget what you were going to say, in the post you were trying to answer, all because this person had a lot of crazy lights flashing, so you say forget it and move on. shocked

Yup! Its mind-bending! So hypnotic I lose all interest in responding to that Post. What are these people thinking of? Perhaps they are so flighty their mind has taken off into the wild blue Yonder!

They don't bother me much, but I have noticed that they can be a distraction. I don't know how many people are bothered by these moving avatars, but if it is a lot of them, MyLot should think to ban them. I have seen a couple of them that were flashing in different colors like you said, and I hope that they haven't set off anyone's epilepsy.

I have heard of flashing light to some degree can set off epilepsy. Truth? Know anymore about this? Interesting? Thanks. Have a great wekeknd. :)


myLot reputation of 72/100. barehugs (5855)   ranked 33 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

Yes its a fact that such flashing, and moving lights can trigger epileptic seizures in some people. But I'd hate to see them banned. That would be like losing a friend who had upset your life. Its good to be rid of this person, but you are going to miss the excitement.


myLot reputation of 79/100. drknlvly6781 (3439)   ranked 242 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

I've only heard that flashing lights can trigger epileptic seizures, and I only heard that because at one time it was thought that I was having seizures, and the doctors tested me by flashing lights in my face and monitoring my brainwaves during. I don't know exactly what type of lights or how fast they have to flash to do so.

I didn't mean to ban the members that are using these moving and flashing avatars, I was talking about banning the use of such avatars on MyLot. I seriously doubt these people are trying to cause harm, or even draw attention to their discussions. I believe that they found an avatar they liked, just like most people on MyLot, and they just happen to be ones that moved and flashed. If MyLot banned these types of avatars, then those with epilepsy will be safe.


myLot reputation of 92/100. avidwhit (734)   ranked 112 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

Intresting thanks for the first hand account real life story. I do know types of flashing lights have an effect on me. thankflly never to an epilepic point as far as I know. Have a great week. :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. savak03 (2657)   ranked 7 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

Oh, but I did choose my avatar to get attention. lol


myLot reputation of 79/100. drknlvly6781 (3439)   ranked 242 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

I see that lol. But I wasn't talking about flash images, I was moreso talking about avatars like this flashing congratulations banner above me now. (You know good and well I didn't win sh*t! lol) This banner, and avatars that flash like this can be harmful to those that suffer from epilepsy.

hehhehehe. Great discription! You took the words out of my mounth and came up with extras the explain the feeling of the shock. Maybe they will read tis post and realize a change. :)


myLot reputation of 72/100. barehugs (5855)   ranked 33 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

Yes hopefully these people will see the writing on the wall. I'm sure most seniors in myLot will agree that we really don't need the distraction.


myLot reputation of 92/100. avidwhit (734)   ranked 112 out of 690 in stress  4 years ago

Over time maybe they will see the light and just enough to soften it up. Have a great week! :)

First of all, I couldn't even add one of that avatars right now. I'd have to investigate the how to on it first. And I wouldn't bother because I don't like them either. I'm twitchy enough without having something like that pulsating in front of me for Pete's sake.

I think these avatars are fun on certain websites, but for discussion, I don't think they add a lot (on myLot haha). Just my opinion and of course, anyone who chooses to have one won't get anything negative on their discussions from me. We're all different here right?

Yes i find it distracting..I also find a lot of other discussions i do not like much too..I will not say what they are but i get quite a few from certain people and i cannot help but delete them...I also get very irratated at those who have the same response to every person who relies,like they cut & pasted it...I appreciate a real reply,not the same reply to everybody over & over like the response it copied.....so i do understand what you are saying....

I sure hope my little mouse is not to big a distraction. He is just dancing, not flashing lights or changing colors.
