Title: Is .JSON Animation will work with this forum? Post by: payjoe93 on September 20, 2021, 10:59:15 AM Is it possible that this forum will support lottiefiles / .JSON animation for ads slot, thread asset, avatar and signature?
As we know, .JSON animation is more more better than gif and file size is more smaller.. Title: Re: Is .JSON Animation will work with this forum? Post by: NotATether on September 20, 2021, 12:03:02 PM Lottie animations are not a standard animation format like .GIF and .WEBP are, so it'll be very difficult to find a parser for the JSON, and I have no idea how you'd manage to output this in a web format anyway (that is, without exporting to another format, but it would defeat the purpose of your proposal).
And that's assuming a modern tech stack - I highly doubt such a modification is possible on SMF, which runs on PHP, so can't draw the vectors inside the JSON on the screen anyway.

Post by: LoyceV on September 20, 2021, 03:17:51 PM Animated GIF avatars have been disabled a long time ago, and since 2019 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114171.msg49921264#msg49921264) theymos detects and rejects (new) animated APNGs too.
The agressive animations used by some signature campaigns make the forum annoying to read. That's why I don't think the forum will add more animations any time soon. |
