Still Me Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 i had tried to add a GIF image as my icon...i tried saving it directly to the computer and uploading it, ive even tried URL linking, shit i even tried BBCode....wtf? Quote
viperxmns Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 How large is it? I've actually had an instance where even a jpeg below a certain size was not being accepted, had to use one at least around 150px or so, I think.. I've been able to use gifs with no problem at other times Quote
viperxmns Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Maybe link to the file/gif if you can to see what's up Quote
Still Me Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 i couldn't find it via google but this is pretty close to the size...I think the actual one is narrower...it's hard to tell on a mobile Quote
viperxmns Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Hm.. those are pretty wide, might wanna crop em to a square Quote
Still Me Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 i know but I'm trying to do this on mobile and I want them to be rectangular like the one I have now Quote
viperxmns Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Have you used EZGif? First thing that came up in a search, maybe it works on mobile too Quote
Still Me Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 i wouldn't do that on mobile but I'll fuck around with it on my laptop later...kinda still doesn't fix my issue...I have smaller ones on my laptop that I've saved and they load just fine but won't move Quote
viperxmns Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Ohh both of those are one image, thought it was one on top of the other lemme fuck around with this Ok on initial upload it autocropped but did not preserve movement.. hm.. Quote
Misaka Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 ok max size on Avatars are 225x225 so thats the limit now the file size is another story Quote
Admin Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 avatars on SMF can be a hit and miss proposition. If it seems like it'll work better, we might try working a resize code into the CSS vs how it is now, which is everything gets resized via HTML or Java (which ever we check the box of). According to online sources, Java resize is worse than HTML resize, which is the one we're using. but if we can write something into the CSS, that may work better. I don't know enough about it to know, so viper will have to do it. Quote
Admin Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 also don't let that stop you (viperxmns and misaka) from attempting to find individual solutions to people's icon troubles. we'll take it however we can get it, be that a code solution, or one avatar at a time. Quote
viperxmns Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Ok Guess I'd have to come up with a scratch solution for this one, knowing gifs do work as icons Quote
viperxmns Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Recompiled the frames in Photoshop, tested it, this version should work Quote
