can't upload .gif avatars
« on: October 20, 2018, 04:37:13 am »
my avi is supposed to move but no matter how i upload it, it always comes out as a .png instead of a .gif. i tried uploading it straight from my computer and linking a sta.sh file but it didn't help.

i can upload .gifs on other websites and clearing cache didn't work so idk if this is an issue on my end.

I think it actually has to do with the size of the actual file. I've had some gifs work, and some gifs not work as my avvie. Can always try making it smaller.

reduced the size to like 6 pixels smaller and that seemed to work... lol
ok anything above 120x120 won't work. i remember using much larger .gif avis without any trouble though. weird.

anyways thank you Azura!
