GIF File

[Fourtyfive]

I uploaded a GIF file for my avatar but it only loops once and locks up , anybody know why ? It runs fine on my pewter.

Probably because GIFs are evil, especially if they are black and have pistol grips or large "clips". :taunt:

 

Seriously, I don't know why. Seems to work OK when a gif is posted in the body of a message. Probably has something to do with parameters in the IPBoard software, or if you resized the GIF, or if the IPBoard forced a resize when you uploaded it. Animated GIFs and resizing do not play well together.

 

I'm sure David will be able to answer this.

Animated GIFs aren't allowed in avatars because they are extremely annoying.

Sorry man. Animated GIF avatars are the second-most annoying things on the Web.  The first being web pages that immediately start playing music when they load.

^^ I might put the ones that autoload videos ads off on the side really loud 1st. I've been on some auto forums where every other avatar is a flashing gif & half the signatures are bright red 48pt font flashing gif. It becomes so distracting to reading threads. I know there are some funny ones but it would probably just spiral out of control & look so cluttered.

No problem , I had seen a few others on here and just thought I would do the same.

Not here you haven't.  I've never allowed animated GIFs in avatars.  :)

So I haven't lost my mind or have I ?

Doesn't matter.  They're incredibly annoying and banned like the man said.

Maybe. But just remember: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Y'all talking about the glock that fired and ejected the brass?

[TGO David]

The software shouldn't have allowed it but IPB has let me down on more important things than this.

[Fourtyfive]

Wow , I've seen like 4 in the last 4 days alone , not that I'm fighting it , I know better.

[Fourtyfive]

Does that make me a tattle file ?

I saw one the other day, and I was taken aback. This site is so professional in look with limited signatures and avatars. Makes it so nice to browse.

I bet I can do that without even the music playing. Read on:

 

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all

 

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
