Fox Fire Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 So I noticed that animated GIFs wont be animated when you upload them as your avatar. Is there a particular reason for this? Can it be changed? _________________________________________________________________ <Jroc> I heard \ is an anagram of cocaine<\> I can't be rearranged into a line, I already am a line. --Foxburo Wiki-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Tim Armstrong's is animated. Not sure how, I've not experimented with animated avatars on here (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So I noticed that animated GIFs wont be animated when you upload them as your avatar. Is there a particular reason for this? Can it be changed? Good question. I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Alex Posted December 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2014 They're not disallowed as far as I know, I'll check and see if there's a setting somewhere that has them disabled.

Administrators Alex Posted December 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2014 The only setting I can find is that avatars are not animated in photo thumbnails, like on the main board index page. Everywhere else they ought to animate correctly. Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Fox Fire Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) My current avatar should be animated. I've tried uploading it as well as hosting it elsewhere and using the URL, but I don't see the animation. Should look like this: Edited December 8, 2014 by Fox Fire _________________________________________________________________ <Jroc> I heard \ is an anagram of cocaine<\> I can't be rearranged into a line, I already am a line. --Foxburo Wiki-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aslan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Try reloading your avatar and see if it works for you now. I don't know if ipb scaling an image will affect the animation. If it does, you may need to submit one that is already 150 px x 150 px. Anyone using an animated avatar should keep this in mind also Signatures and Avatars and Profiles Avatars - must be in good taste. Any image that would not be allowed in a post will not be allowed as an avatar. Excessive flashing colors are not allowed. Using a moderator's avatar is not allowed.

Aslan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Fox, I went ahead and resized it for you and it's working now. If you upload larger dimensions and allow the board to scale it, it loses the animation. Here is a useful link for resizing. ezgif.com/resizing 2 Forum RulesGame RulesToSWikiRedditIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwynn Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Yah most forum's on-the-fly resize lose the animation. If your animated gif it too large you'll need to use a resizer first that maintains animation. (Ex: http://ezgif.com/resize) Drats. Out-typed by a mod.
