Reply to: Animated avatars?

You can always leech it from another site...

That coupled with the prospect that the site owners could potentially be in serious tulip for hosting them.

Indeed - good point well made.

I still like animated avatars though.

I think that there was content that went way beyond the NSFW that was posted a while back.

Oh, you love it really!

That's why you keep posting over there

51 posts so far in TPD from AtW, and growing slowly.....

I blame Test Please Delete thread for that

Or we could post pictures in ASCII, like in the 1960s

Have a look at some of the ASCII images that are in TPD

Bear did an ASCII image of CM's old avatar at one stage.

[TheFaQQer]

This site really needs inlined images back with a ban for posting NSFW content - lack of inline images killed a lot of good banter on this board, especially "Caption competition"

I think that there was content that went way beyond the NSFW that was posted a while back.

Not really fussed about inline images, to be honest, but animated avatars would be nice.

[BrilloPad]

Aye! Well overdue actually!

I have tried! I really have! hopefully soon it will take up too much space so will have to go - happens regularly on the guardian unlimited site.

About time it was deleted?

Yes, I was saddened to see that this site didn't allow inline images. People could just turn them off. BTW very simple aimated GIfs are possible here, since Ive uploaded some containing just two images (frames) before, but not been able to upload anything more complex than that.

[AtW]

maybe we should start a protest campaign for the limitations to be eased.

btw what's the best way to reduce the size of animated avatars?

Some graphics packages will do it. Paint Shop Pro does at least, but not well (picture resize, but not canvas resize).
