Animated avatars

[AscendedParticipant 698]

Hello,

How can I get myself an animated avatar? I uploaded a GIF and my avatar is inanimate.
Did I do something wrong perhaps?

Maybe if your resolution was to high. Sometimes even my avatar’s animation is slowing down massively although most of the time it just works fine. Keep trying and experimenting with lower resolutions, mate. That’ll be my course of action if I was you.

-Just a thought-

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

Not the case. My Avatar is 256×261 and 1,11MB large.

Your avatar works always for me.

Hmm strange…
Now let me check… … ahh, my avatar gif is only 741 k hence less than 1 Mb so that could be the reason. Try to go below 1Mb and then re-try.

Cheers, dude. Well I like Grims new avatar. Good choice, Grim.

Now like I might have mentioned before a good couple of months ago, once I may be up to about 2500 I will temporarily change my avatar into a inanimate one for a fitting surprising giggle in between, because I happened to find one that would be very fitting indeed for that “milestone”, so you guys may want to keep watchin’ that space, but then by all means do take your time to eventually get me there, he he …

I optimized my GIF to 870 KBytes but it is still inanimate. Welp…

I guess by now I am well & truly at my wits’ end on that one, sorry man.

PS.: this will be my 1000th post. Ah well …

Thanks for trying to help me.
I hope someone else can help me resolving this.

Hey, Apolz for being so delayed in responding to this. The new system doesn’t support animated avatars (if you uploaded a new one since October), but anyone with old animated gifs are still displaying – like Ned Trent’s. We will bring back support for that. I promise.

Part of the reason for that is bandwidth. Gifs can be +1 MB each – or much more. So if you load a forums page with 12 animated GIFS on it, it could be 10 MB or even 30! For just one page. So we have to place a restriction on that.

But Im happy to help you out. So why don’t you email us (info at mgtow dot com) and put ANIMATED GIF AVATAR in the subject — send the image along with it — and I will upload it for you.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Thanks Keymaster. I’m writing a mail to the MGTOW administration now with the GIF attached to it.

Thanks! Done. Enjoy.

Looks great. I’m jelz.

Thanks Keymaster 😀 That was swift!

Pleasure. We aim to be pleased.
Also reduced the size down to 131K. So that’s perfect.

Now you made me want to do a 3D MGTOW one for the mod. Cool idea!

Great new one, Icecold $corpio. I guess that was well worth the short wait wasn’t it..?

I could attempt to do one. I model one in a game engine, make it rotate, capture it, GIFy that video and contribute to the community. How’s that sound?

Ned Trent
Totally 😉
