stackables Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I couldn't find any info about having animated avatars. Are they allowed? All I found regarding avatars was they had to be family appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxofcorey Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'd venture a guess you're limited to simple image formats like JPG or JPEG. I'm pretty sure a forum software such as this doesn't have that capability. Worst case, try uploading a GIF into the avatar section of your profile and you'll probably just end up with an X that tells you it's not allowed.

stackables Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yep, just tried to upload a gif and I only get a static image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know LFOW had an animated GIF avatar on here, but it is now not animated since about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Animated gifs seem to work when you visit the persons profile page but not inside the forums anymore. I don't know why it stopped working but that's just how it is. Anyway, what movie is your avatar from, stackables? It looks so familiar yet I can't recall as to what.

The image is of the sumatran rat monkey that caused the outbreak in the movie. For some reason the scene where the rat punches a monkey has stuck with me.

Wierd when you look at who directed it went on to do Lord of the Rings. Found that scene on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_frVHCLECNQ Here is one of my favorite scenes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC6WAAlNHt4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Mack Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yes, the animated gifs become static on the forum. It gets too distracting honestly. Its fun for a the first few minutes, but if you have a wall of them it becomes too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also imagine it could make the page take longer to load all those frames of animation up everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
