Out of curiosity, did the workaround @OtherMichael suggested over here prove efficacious? Seems like it would (or at least should) be a reliable browser-based solution, if it works, since banning animated GIFs from the BBS would be apt to get a whole lot of pushback from the large crowd of users who find them useful and entertaining. And if the browser itself can’t be configured to omit animations, then a Discourse setting doesn’t seem likely to fix the problem without banning their use altogether.
