I'd like to have a gif file as my avatar, but can't figure out how to do it. If I do the outside link one, it says the remote file is too large. And if I download the gif and use the browse function, it's all still like a jpeg. Can anyone help me with this? I really want a gif avatar...
Hi, Please note these size restrictions when uploading: If the image is too large for whatever reason, vBulletin automatically attempts to resize it so that it fits into the dimensions. Unfortunately, it does this in a rather inefficient way. Rather than resizing the entire GIF, it'll take a single frame to fit it into the restriction, and then just dumps the rest of the image. If you can figure out whether it's a length or file size issue, there are things ye can do to then get it to fit. If the former, just use an online editor to reduce its pixel size. If it's the latter, there's editors that will make discreet changes to frames, colour etc that will reduce the KB of the file. The solution just depends on what the issue is causing the problem.

Hi Rhys The Fox! You can use "ezgif.com" to shrink the GIF file's size. You can either resize it or optimize it. If you need more help, just wall message me
