Animated Gif avatars

[Sdashiki]

Well apparently I went over my 500 posts and can use an avatar.

<------ see?


But its an animated gif.

Does MR not do the animation?

click it to see the animation in my profile.

As demonstrated by many other members avatars, MR does indeed support animated gifs.

Your profile pic is animated, but your avatar is indeed static. Can you post the gif you are trying to use for your avatar here?

 

[Sdashiki]

you know, i must be a moron cuz I just saw your avatar moving in a thread or two ago.

LOL.

<----see it moves!

w8, i know, its more than 19.5k!

 

[edesignuk]

Two problems.

Dimensions: You can only have 75x75px.
Size: No more than 19.5KB (edit: ok, you figured that bit out )

Holy crepes. Someone ban him before he uses that avatar!

 

[Sdashiki]

Ah success.

had to delete a few "items" but Im happy.

You can't go over 19.5KB! Drat! There goes my idea for having the Lord of The Rings as my avatar.... Can it be bigger if I the person hosts it themselves?

Nope, all avatars are hosted by MR. They cannot be hosted else where.

Wow we may have a winner for most controversial avatar, I don't mind but some may put up a stink, just keep that in mind.

i can't figure out how to get my avatar set up. I understand the pixel limitations, but where do i pick it?

Go to "User CP" and click on "Edit Avatar." You can then upload your avatar.

im sorry, but, controversial? what is so controversial in it?

My avatar, originally before the cutdown for MR, goes:



South Park image of me
Bush "Worst President Ever"
Cat shooting Ak-47
South Park image of me
Robo from Chrono Trigger dancin
My anus is bleeding
Shot of a brainscan
Invader Zim blinking
South Park image of me
Red faced Samurai Jack
Wolfenstein 3D Nazi being shot
AIM icon of Dr. Doom dancin
AIM icon of Amingo dancin

whats the problem?

I believe he's referring to the "Bush: Worst President Ever" pic. Anytime you bring politics into things, someone's going to vehemently disagree with you.

Ah, the option finally showed up. I thought that was the way to do it, I just didn't see the option before - it took some time to show up I suppose.

thats the point, anyone who actually is offended by such a benign thing as an image I incorporated into a 75x75 pixel animated gif deserves to be flamed.

No, he's right. Bush is the worst U.S. president ever. Whats the problem?

 

[Unorthodox]

I can see where this is going...... Isn't there a separate section for this?

Two words: "Gilded Age" It may be hard to believe, but we've had worse.

Yes Lacreo, you are correct. I apologise.

(very crafty name I must say )
