Fortunately, this is a pretty quick and easy FAQ :-)
For those of you who don't like the moving ponies/traits/decorations or who's computer struggles with the heavy flash, there is help!!
Go to your "gear" and select "Graphic" from the tab.
You can de-select which graphics you would like to remain stationary.
You can also resize the graphics on your page. This makes all of the images either larger or smaller as you would like. I have selected larger (so I can better see my ponies) but you may adjust the setting to what works best for you and your monitor.
