Animated Avatars

How do some people have animated avatars and when i try to upload a animated .gif file it says “you may not upload animated files”

…any suggestions???

Thanks

:roll_eyes:

gilby stopped people using them a while ago, however if you were using it at the time you could keep it animated.

people who joined later only get non-animated avatars.

you missed the boat!

Oh well… do you think that they will ever be allowed again?

i higly doubt it.

we’re still waiting on the download button, aye guys?

whats the download button?

The button which you can use in the gallery to download files, instead of messing with the right click which doesn’t always work.

I’ve been pleading with Killby to bring back animated avatars since the day they were removed, but to no avail. The dark lord of the fora hath spoken and deemed all avatars of good or animativity to be unwelcome.

Is that why you’re so sad, Catboy?

I like yours evan.

and then wheel rider is here to rub it in even more;)

I just had to post to this thread…

most of the animated avatars left are not annoying. that’s good.

And even if they were, you, as an individual user, could choose if you wanted to see them or not.

<----I guess there are some exceptions :stuck_out_tongue:

:astonished:

How did I get dragged into this? I did not say a word about animated avatars. (At least not in this thread.)

If you want to turn off animated avitars, either do it in your user options, or just press Esc on your keybooard and all animated GIFs on the page will stop.

Good tip! I tried it and got frightened about not being able to see them animated anymore :thinking:
just refresh and everything comes back to normal (Pfiuuu!!):wink:

That is indeed the simplest single way to ensure you don’t get irritated by animated avatars.

Methinks it might be time to petition Gilby for the re-enactment of animated avatars on his forum.

What says his Gilbness?
