April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

JanitorWith WebM video files you should see seekbar and total playtime. We do also have loop tag which means that animation is looping around.
With GIF and Flash there's usually no direct indication of how long it is. However usually if the file is gif it's much lower duration or loop and if the filesize of gif or flash is below 10 MB changes of it being low duarion or loop is high.
To make sure you can also download the file and open it with certain tools to see durations, but that usually takes much longer than just checking out couple loops to see what happens.
