Avatars

Quick question on the avatars.

I've seen so many cute ones that are animated avatars. However when I try to upload one myself, it says I can't.

Why? Did it change and the ones that had it before the change keep theirs, or am I doing something wrong?

The error says I can't upload animated GIFS......So

I'm wondering if it's something that happened with the forum hijack and consequent rebuilding? Maybe there is a "switch" somewhere that didn't get changed to allow animated .gif files again???

I guess, perhaps they can turn it on. I've found several cute ones.

I didn't disbelieve her to start with, I just had no experience of the problem previously and could only offer assistance based on that previous knowledge

Check the size of your avatar - both in file size (kb) and in dimensions. If I remember correctly, it's 50x50 for avatars here.

And I have another question about avatars - where do you people find them? I have had limited luck finding any that are any good. If you have any links, I would appreciate help in that area. Thanks!

Thanks for that info. And I take it that animated ones are not possible?

Avatar's are animated GIFs!

This is posted at the bottom of your Edit Avatar page:

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

I resized mine to 50 by 50 and it's only 7.9 KB ..... Still not working, saying cannot load animated gifs.

I even tried 49 by 49, denied.....

 

[ghudson]

You can only load one file. How are you resizing your animated gif? Unless you have a program that creates animated gifs you will not be able to resize it since each animated gif contains many still pictures so each one would have to be resized and then you would have to recompile the pictures to create the animated gif.

 

[bwrobel]

I am resizing it using PrintShop5 Animation Shop.
