Animated Avatars

[Chibi-chan]

I'm confused...when I tried to upload an animated avatar, it says:

You may not upload animated images.

Is there something wrong? Becuase I still see others with animated avatars...or is this just a new rule?

I'm just as confused as you are,Chibi.

It could be that the MB useage is to much, how many Kbs was the avytar?
I tried getting one like that in the past and the Gif format had to much Kbs and screenshots being used at once ^^ Three frames do really nicely in a avytar.

I really don't know what's up with this. It's happened to a few other people before, I think it has something to do with the upgrade to 3.5. And there isn't a button or anything to click for you guys to use them. It's really strange.

I think I know what's the problem. The "Can Upload Animated Avatar" option is set to "No" for members.

To fix this, go to the Admin CP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager, and choose which usergroup to edit. After arriving on the edit usergroup page, look for the "Picture Uploading Permissions" table, look for the "Can Upload Animated Avatar" option on it, and set it to "Yes".

Hope I helped!

Strange, I know that wasn't there when we upgraded to vB 3.5.0 (I looked when it first came up). It must be a 3.5.1 thing.

Anyway it's turned on now, and thanks to Chain of Memories for telling me about how to to it on.

Hmmm, maybe the image is too big, as in it has too many bytes in it? 'Cause I got that when I first tried to upload it, but I re-did it with a lower byte-age, and it worked fine.

Sorry if ya couln't understand that... ^^;

The image was 100*100...I think the byte size was correct....but why did it generally say all animation? :\

 

[Arcanine]

I have no idea, maybe some programs leaves little things saying "I'm animated" things and others don't. It's strange how some got past and others didn't.

Anyway it should work now for all.

 

[Chibi-chan]

It's working now for me! Thanks :3

See? My avatar moves now! It moves fast so just keep looking!

That sounds like Andy's user title. XD

The feature was there in vBulletin 3.5.0, Andy. XD

I was just about to turn it on, shame this thread was here while I was at school. XD

I started a thread about it back on the 28th of last month. If you knew about it how come I had to be the one that turned it on?
