As you may know, I have a tenancy to have many animated avatars that would amuse y'all.

After the update, every kind of animated avatar (even if it only has 2 frames) gets glitchy and messed up.

And for somewhat larger ones (300~400KB), it simply doesn't upload. It just stops on a blank page.

Save me Scraggy Doo! ;_;

yeah, I tried a few different animated avatars.
This one it just sped up, another one it only used 2 of the 10 frames and zoomed in a lot on the 2nd frame.

It is weird.

I hate it too. I'm wondering if external hosting will sort it out.

I don't know if that's how it originally looks (yellow titty bouncing chick).

It seems extra blurry.
Either way, this needs to be fixed!

When you upload I think it tries to resize the GIF if its over 100x100 and doesn't do a very good job of it so it looks messed up.

I edit all of my avatars to 100x100 before I upload them.

It doesn't matter what I do. It either gets glitched the *** up or just doesn't upload at all when it's clearly under the max upload size.

Looks perfectly fine to me, I can even see her nipple coming out (if that gives you any idea how clearly I can see it)

I only said it looks sort of blurry since it doesn't look perfectly smooth. I'm into graphic design so I notice stuff like that. >.>;

Maybe it is just mine. Even if that's the case, fix my account >:o

GIF resizing is buggy at best, particularly if the original file has transparency and/or animation. If you want it to work properly you need to resize it yourself to 100x100 before uploading it, otherwise the server will do it for you and potentially break the image.

We used to have remote avatars here, but the bigwigs changed them to local because of:

A) people using utterly MASSIVE animated avatars that were causing the pages to load slowly.
B) assorted jackassery relating to avatars.

Like I said before, I resize all of my avatars to 100x100 before I even begin doing ANYTHING with them.
