I dont see any animated avatars. What am I missing?

 

[Lavalamp1138]

I use Chrome and none of the animated avatars moved even once. There was no way to tell until I tried Opera just now. God... why does the Chrome suck so bad all of a sudden for gifs?

Apparently Chrome requires an extension.

Firefox.

Animated avatars.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I was wondering how long it would take for people to notice that my avatar is animated again.

 

[Johnny Dazzle]

oh my

 

[Spookie]

Return of the KPOP duck face? HURRAR IT'S JUST WHAT THE DOTA THREAD NEEDED!

 

[ponpo]

Do GAFStaff just find animated avatars annoying? If they're under the current 50kb size limit then it wouldn't be a size issue so I guess there's another issue.

Oh, you. *winks*

 

[NEO0MJ]

Does that mean the return of animated ponies?

[BertramCooper]

Animated avatars suck.

 

[ffdgh]

I loved seeing this while lurking.

And I'm guessing this will be *fixed* in the future.

 

[sky]

Animated avatars.

I'd prefer if it was a user option.
Specify normal or animated, and only show the later if it's toggled in the user control panel.

 

[Diablos54]

I wouldn't risk this until I get Evilore confirmation.

Plus, with the limit, it's pretty useless for anything but sprites anyway.

 

[Wilester]

I was against the removal of animated avatars. Now I never want to see them come back.

 

[akira28]

Plus, with the limit, it's pretty useless for anything but sprites anyway.

I think that's perfect. Small, understated animations that aren't a burden on the eyes or the network.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Convert Avatar to .gif
Find it its APNG
Then find out its bannable?
Sad face

If sprites are good enough for Nintendo pokemon games its good enough for NeoGAF.

[strafer]

I had the perfect one made a while back. If it happens someday.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Doesn't seem to work on Mac...oh Apple.

 

[Chesskid1]

does mine work? just made it real quick

will remove it in a second just testing

edit: change backed

 

[Bluth54]

Yes.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Bring back the dancing VIRGIN gif and nothing else

G.O.A.T.

 

[Drencrom]

Bring back the dancing VIRGIN gif and nothing else

This

edit:

G.O.A.T.

Fuck yeah

 

[KarmaCow]

I think that's perfect. Small, understated animations that aren't a burden on the eyes or the network.

There were plenty of poorly looped five frame gifs before the change, the only different now is that they would be even lower quality.

edit: oh god it's already happening

 

[Caelus]

Works, had a heart attack for a second.

 

[Tiduz]

Having an option doesn't solve every problem. Too many options and you get Facebook's privacy settings.

I hate animated avatars but this is the one exception. GOAT

I've given up on Chrome. Back to Firefox!

 

[Kokonoe]

hell yeah

Classy as Farfetch'd. Gen II represent.

 

[Ovid]

Doesn't seem to work on Mac...oh Apple.

Yeah, doesn't work in Safari. However, it does work in Firefox.

 

[Chesskid1]

Works, had a heart attack for a second.

oh nice, prettty cool, learned all about APNG real quick.

changed back cause they'll prolly ban

 

[Grakl]

hell yeah

Very nice. You picked a good Pokemon, haha.

 

[Toppot]

You can also just rename a avatar.gif to avatar.png and the system will accept it and play the animated gif.

But animated avatars of any format are not allowed. Using an animated avatar can get you banned or have your avatar privileges removed.

 

[commedieu]

Someone should ban aguirre.

:|

 

[Übermatik]

Installed the Chrome extension.

I think animated avatars are fine, within reason: if there was a way of limiting the frames through file size or something, it could mean people could just add nice effects to their avatars without much server strain.

 

[Drago]

But they are not allowed and using an animated avatar can get you banned or have your avatar privileges removed.

Dammit

not risking it

 

[Violet_0]

Firefox.

works in opera as well

animated avatars are far superior

 

[jon bones]

i just went to add that chrome extension and it says:

This extension can access:
Your data on all websites
Your tabs and browsing activity


what does that entail, exactly?

btw, i don't miss animated avatars at all

 

[TemplaerDude]

Animated avatars are crap. They're a step above signatures.

 

[TheMan]

i'd much prefer to keep our current static avatars. your avatar looks really silly and distracting
