Animated avatars?

[Adam]

My avatars is supposed to be four frames long, but only one shows up on the forum. I saved it as a gif, and in properties, it says that it does have four frames. Did I screw up or does the animation make the file size too big?

i don't think animated avatars work....

[Adam]

I assumed it would here, since other forums support animated avatars.

yeah, my avatar is supposed to be animate too, but it isnt

[FoxxyRin]

nope, animated thingies dont work... unless you post them in the messages... like so, <img src='http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/shiri_masen/thtouchingmebutt.gif' border='0' />

I really don't think we'd need them at this point. All they would do is make the site load slower (especially for those of us on dialup, like Crazyhedgehog) and look irritating and distracting, especially in comparison to the really simple and elegant site design we have right now.

But yeah, at the moment, animated GIFs aren't supported as far as avatars go.

Sorry, didn't mean to post this one. Please read the next reply.

Yeah, I have dialup too. It's fifteen times slower than what you probably have. But I'm still all for animated avatars. First, though, I have to get my non-animated one to work...

You're most likely using a BMP. Convert it into a PNG.
