Feature Request

[safeinsanity]

Not sure if you are willing to do this or not, but I would like to make a request to allow members to have animated gif avatars. I made a real cool one this morning!

It showed the animation working when I added my animated gif avatar earlier, but then when I saved it, it removed the animation.

No biggy if you don't like them, but I just thought I'd ask.

I’ll look into it and see.

I really hate it. It just junks up postbit. Let's turn this into a question thread so the suggestion can be up or down voted?

If I were to enable it, it would be usergroup controlled.

If so I would make it real restrictive, un-logged in public can't see it. Would really rather only the person(s) using it could see. It really adds garishness and boorishness. Cheapiness. Get noticed for your great posting not flashy "here I am" vanity stuff.

Man, you read too much in to it. I think they are just fun and visually cool!

Obviously, I don't. Went out of being "cool" back in 2009. And remember:

No biggy if you don't like them

To me it is the same as the request we had before to double the size of the avatars. Adding visual junk and distraction isn't what I call cool.

Oh boy, this guys a real knumbskull!

Hey, I love Ralph too and love everything Jackie Gleason did. But for every one of the minor GIFs like yours, there's gonna be three sparkling, flashy garish ones.

I thought you said "no biggie?"

Well, then why not just put a file size restriction on them. Let's say, anything bigger than the file size of my Ralph Kramden avatar!

How big do you think it is?

How big do you think it is?

It is exactly 742.48KiB

Correct. Almost 3/4 MB. So we make that the setting and lookie here:

114 kb. "no biggie."

But just to make you happy, I'll endorse whatever decision Ozzy makes.

A pretty/glitter skunk? ... What's wrong with Mr. Glitter skunk?

@safeinsanity I’ve thought about this and unfortunately it’s something I just really do not want to have on here, at least at this time.

I will keep the suggestion open though, just in case I change my mind.
