I have noticed that the colored words and moving icons have been sezure triggers for some of the members in the chat room and i am wondering if there is some way to come up with a word or code for them to easily tell us when they come on to chat so we can all be awhere and be able to refrian from using the things that would set them off it would be easier than them having to explain to each of us the situation. Thank You for listening

You might want to write this right to the moderator to see if something is possible... I know that if you click on the STOP or X in your upper left hand tool bar it SHOULD stop animation on that page... Good idea to limit the moving things for those who have problems G

Thanks for the feedback! Will pass this along to the web folks as we are continuing to make improvements. Hope they can figure this one out..or at least have the ability to turn them off on your own monitor? Also, can you adjust the contrast on your own monitor? that works for some to decrease the glare, contrast, colors etc. I don't think that would affect flicker rate, but can ask!
