My Wolf avatar is supposed to be animated. It worked one minute, but not the next. I have tried uploading it, and also linking from my own webspace. It works on my forum, which is also SMF, so what could be wrong? (http://www.pc-pals.com/smf/Smileys/Smileys/bawl.gif)
Try pressing Ctrl+f5.
No, that didn't seem to help, nor did clearing the cache. :(
Not animated here either!
Maybe it needs to be a gif and not a png?
EDIT - Scrap that! It only downloads as a png...
It's just a bit odd that it worked one minute, and not the next. I've seen some other people's avatars which are animated. Is there a file size limit? Mine is 6.9Kb.
We have recently had some issues on here with animated smilies, I wonder if they could be related in some way???
It's weird. I have just removed mine, and have used the "I have my own pic" option to upload it from my own webspace. When I refresh my Profile page, it seems that it's still using the one I uploaded to this forum webspace. Something of a caching issue perhaps? Just a guess.
Try setting 'no picture', save that, then go back and change to a linked avatar. (Scratching head and wondering what is happening here... :()
Done that already, but will try again.
Mines a gif and works a treat....................
Oh sorry thats not helping is it !!!!

OK found the answer, guys. If it needs resizing, this removes the animation effect. All I need to do is resize it before uploading it. More info here:

I was just over there rummaging about - thanks for the link. :)
Great work Simon!
No problem. I'm an Admin on an SMF board myself, so I know a little, but not a lot! :)
