Upload it again?

Ive noticed a few people Ive made GIFs for since the server change are having issues uploading them and having them non-animated.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Just on gif avatars what are the requirements for these?

I tried uploading a gif to no avail - didn't move. In other news..


CHANGING AVATARS IS A BREEZE NOW.*


*Except for the gif part.

Any news on this problem yet?

Yeah, I have a solution ready to roll out, just need to test it, it's a little more involved than you may think. This testing will happen tonight and it will be implemented by tomorrow morning, assuming testing doesn't throw up anything unexpected or the Reisling takes control.

I don't think it worked.

Unfortunately it didn't, I gave had to put it back on the back burner for a week or so, but will revisit someone after Christmas

Interesting re the gifs. I can upload the gif but it doesn't show up when I post yet it does on my profile page, any explanations?

Takes a while to register sometimes, has been like it for a while. Sometimes if I upload it 3 times just to try and hurry it up, it does change. Something to do with the Cache of the site I suspect.

Does it eventually show up on your posts?

Not at the moment, but if you click the image (should be an animation) above my name the mini-profile the pops up has the animation.

Yep, I'm having the same thing. No movement on thread pages but movement on my profile page/pop-up.

There was an issue with the underlying server operating system which took a lot longer to identify than I would have liked. The issue has now been sorted and will be included as part of a major upgrade of the site in the next few days. Unfortunately you will need to re-upload then for the gif for it to take effect.

Love your work

Well, everything appears to be in order.

Indeed, now if only I had a new Avatar lined up...

Hey Chief...Whats the current size for Platinum members? Still 128kb? The Avatar Popup just says 200x200 recommended and that GIFs above 100frames are likely to fail uploading...

200kb would be awesomeness.

The current max size for platinum is 196KB, so not far off, the other two parameters are immutable
