Animated Avatars disabled?

I remember being able to upload the minty fresh OYAJIIIII!!!-Dan a while back but not now.

Board update, or just something I missed?

Yea, happened to me just now as well. Can this be turned back on?

I’m pretty sure you guys are crazy.

OH REALLY? THAN EXPLAIN…

THAT!

Well obviously you may not upload animated images. What are you, stupid?

hay guyz, what’s going on in this thread :D~~~~~~~~~~~~¨¨

I’d just like to point out that the blue monstrosity broke my browser and I demand a refund

I guess only mods and admins are allowed them. The rest of you can go eat a dick. >:(

Except that it wasn’t always like this. :frowning: Turn them back on. :too bad:

What the hell is the point of the internet if my avatar can’t dance?

It’s probably some feature that was disabled when Merl upgraded the boards.

I don’t really know what the problem is. Maybe a user group setting? I’ll probably forget to investigate it right about… now.

and by “forget” I mean “it’s fixed”.

If anyone wonders why it’s caused, it’s because the new version of vBulletin supports some things like auto-avatar resizing and shit. To do so, it recreates the images using a freeware PHP Image Editor. I’m pretty sure there’s some lossy support or something for animated images, so there’s a default to them not being enabled, to save processing time.
