Hey there,

just wondering if i could get some help / pointers re using an animated gif as an icon,
the upload says only jpg or png is allowed,
and yet there are some animated gif icons being used. [lucky them]

So i thought [if you don't mind] I'd see if anyone can give any pointers so i too can have a flashy animated icon/avatar.

any help appreciated

I think those select few had done it before you weren't able to.. and to be honest I'd much rather a page full of static avatars.

smokeydaze is right.

Animated avatars are banned since a while now. The lucky few still have them but will loose it if they change their avatar.


Kind regards,

fair enough then

that's that sorted

I hate those animated avatars!!!!

They pull my eye away from the text & hurt my eyes.
Especially that one with Homer Simpson eating a Ribwich!! Funny, but how irritating!!
I usually skip his posts because I have to hold my hand up over his avatar so I can actually read!

So personally, I'm glad they are not an option anymore!!

^^I will second that..I simply cannot focus on the text with those things distracting my eyes..especially if I am just comming back!

Yeah, thats the reason I banned them. It is just too distracting.

What really fascinates me is that you KNOW that it's a ribwich that he's eating.

Oh crap...did I give myself away as a cartoon loving Simpson's nerd...?

It was bound to happen eventually...
