Animated Avatars

I know I used animated GIF avatars on some other forums back in the day, but is that even an option here?

I’ve got a bad feeling about this... honestly, I'm worried it might not be... 😢

😁

How does that work? Here’s the deal. The settings say the avatar needs to be 50x50 and there’s some kind of memory limit in place. If I squeeze in an animated GIF that hits those requirements—will it actually function the way I'm picturing it?

Guraj. He sure will.

Here. 😁

Just like her 50x50 requirement, you can use a GIF. 😉

😬

Yeah, if it meets the requirements, it should work.

I’ve always had a bit of a thing for animated avatars...🙂

Oh, come on, don't even joke about that—of course you can't have a GIF as an avatar. If we could, you know I’d definitely be rocking one myself...

lol

I gave him my answer. Honestly, what is he waiting for? He could have just tried them instead of making such a big deal out of it... oh well, that's just how the world works...

Sure, let them give it a shot first. 😁

There was a brief period where it seemed like they might allow animations, but they eventually moved away from that idea. 😢

If you look around, you'll notice every single avatar is just a standard static image.

I'm right there with you; I'd love one too. 🙂

I wouldn't mind seeing an animated 😢

pauper.

🤣 🤣

I’ve been trying to set up an animated avatar, so I went ahead and grabbed some from the web, but every time I upload them, they just sit there like a static image instead of actually moving...

JPEG files aren't animated anyway...

🤣

Stop lying to people 😢

Finally, my animated avatar is actually working. Before, every time I tried setting it up, it just wouldn't go through...😕 😕 😕 😕 😲

And then your browser starts glitching out... 🙂

Nah, everything is running perfectly fine on my end. I just haven't set an animated avatar yet because I couldn't find one that actually looked good...😬

How much worse can things actually get than they are right now? 😁
