Animated avatar's

[Lee Bartholomew]

What format do avatars have to be in to be animated? Just uploaded a animated gif and it doesn't work. just stays static.

[Dreadful Scathe]

animates fine on the pc but not when uploaded. any ideas?

animates fine on the pc but not when uploaded. any ideas?It's a configuration setting within vBulletin, the SysAdmins have the feature turned off :)

Also tried linking to it which didn't work either.

If this is true, does it mean that no one will have animated avatars unless they are already uploaded?

[Freya]

If the gif is too big then it won't animate!

Check the size of your file! ALternatively upload the original here and i'll try and modify it!

The original animated gif needs to be no bigger than 98x98 or else when it is downscaled by the forum software, the animation is lost.

It's interesting to note that we don't have very many animated avatars these days...

Perhaps it's because folks find them annoying.

lol, do you really expect Woodie to get that hint ?
Even when he's (supposedly) asking for advice, he doesn't listen... :wink:

may be you should have said Franck has disabled them for new members, or something. :devil:

my guess is that it depends on... what's actually moving :whistle:

In your case, I'm sure few very forumites will object :innocent:

You only don't like mine because you know I'm winking at you and you're uncomfortable ;)

I had thought you used a winking avatar so you didn't have to end every post you write with a ;), but obviously not... :flower:

Talking of which, did the flower smiley always blink like that before?

Well yes, but I'm joking because you never mentioned you liked it :( :)
