Avatars as gifs (Post Count: 9)

per RBHeadge PE:

"Allow avatars to be gifs"

Paging BlueBluePrint PE PMP since their avatar appears to be animated. How did you get it to work?

I just used a link to the gif...

Hmmm, linking could work as a simple fix. It may become an issue if the host site deletes the gif. I'm going to try to upload the gif to proboards and see if that will work.

Scratch that. I can't figure out how to upload an image.

I don't think you can upload an image. Only link to images that are hosted elsewhere.

I'm an admin-type, but I get this when I go to "edit profile" and then upload/link avatar:


I know linking gifs does work in posts but I haven't tried it for avatars (yet).

You're right. I get that too. Sorry.

Here is a link for your information about GIFs. You can choose a gif to upload to your profile (instead of using a URL) as long as your GIF is within specified parameters - according to this, it's that your file needs to be <1MB and smaller than 150x150. FYI
