Title: I can't set my profile to an animated gif, could you help me?
Post by: jokerdragon on March 14, 2013, 05:01:58 PM
This is the animated gif I want on my avatar:

http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1900000/Animated-GIFS-the-joker-1971583-400-233.gif

I copy this on my personal profile picture, but it turns into a single png. Obviusly, not animated, at all.

What I am missing here?

Many thanks to your answer good soul. Maybe I consider even a small BTC donation to you.  ;)

File size too large??

No need to send coin, even if this helps.

Theymos made it harder to add animated gifs when he changed how they were stored a while back, I think Phin said he had to resize it himself in order to get it to work.

Avatars that are too large (more than 120px wide or 80px high) are automatically resized, and lose their animation in the process. If you want to keep the animation, you'll have to resize it yourself before uploading it, or else find a smaller image to use.
