changing your avatar on this site is HELL! mine aren’t even animated.

7

Confirmed Gravatar does not support animated gifs by choice and has no plans to do so. :sad:

[S]Edit: And now somehow I’ve lost the ability to upload an avatar at all.[/S]

Edit edit: Uploaded, but still no animation.

8

What is the file type you are uploading?

9

mine were all JPEG. i’m trying to change my avatar again; it’s not going so well -_-

10

I’m using a .gif under 150kb. I’ll upload it to an external host here in a second just for example.

Tried reuploading from IE 9, Chrome, and Firefox. Also from a different PC. Avatar still hates me. :sad:

12

Those are premium member restrictions, regular members should be 50k but that avatar is around 40k bitmap. Maybe it’s a GIF problem?

13

Well, I was Premium when I tried it initially. :sad:

I also put the gif in the post a few lines up, it appears to work there.

14

i finally got my avatars to upload, but it took forever. maybe it’s a website traffic problem.

15

Good luck! next time!! hi hi…

Just tried updating my avatar to this

But when I upload from the HD it just loads my current av (yellow smiley). When I use a url the new av appears to be added, but as soon as I hit refresh my old av is back.

EDIT: I just tried again, deleted my current av. Instead of visiting my profile page I just tried uploading an new av (using url link) from here and it worked!

17

Personally, I just resize mine when they don’t take, it’s recommended to be at least 200X200, I’m not sure if you can resize a gif though. Maybe find one in a different size?

You can resize gifs here - http://www.online-image-editor.com/

I tried changing my gif again, can’t get it to work unless I signed out, deleted my cookies and logged in again.

19

You can resize a gif. Photoshop man. I make these things myself.

20

I don’t know how to make gifs, I don’t even know how to set up rotating avs. :frowning:

21

I think I know how to get it working.

#1 upload your gif to a image host
#2 Go to your avatar page and delete current avatar
#3 Click Choose file
#4 Paste link in open file window
#5 Click choose file again
#6 This time your temporary internet files folder should visable
#7 Copy the address to your temporary internet folder, open my computer, find your temp folder by paste link.
#8 Delete all files inside, you will need to go one level up to the parent folder and delete any temporary files there too.
#9 Log out of SRK, delete SRK’s cookies and log back in
#10 Cross fingers, Upload avatar

22

Not having any luck with that either.
I’ve deleted my avatar and am now trying to upload a standard .jpg (below) but its still showing the old broken avatar.

Edit: After relogging into SRK the new .jpg shows up. I’m gonna sit on this one for a while because I’m getting frustrated trying to make the .gifs work.

23

Logging out, then in, and then reuploading the av worked for me.

24

Does my Av show a man…or a robot?

robot
