I can't seem to use GIF files as avatars.

Topic Title says it all. I tried to use a GIF file that I found off Dras' tumblr as an icon and it won't animate. :/ Perhaps you could help me out here DZ?

I don't think you can use GIF's as avatars for security purposes here.

What about Flash then? :trollface:

Seriously? GIFs pose security concerns? XD

It's a known issue with IPB. The way it caches avatars breaks animated ones.

There is a setting that enables animated GIFs, but it is currently broken.

Animated avatars can be really eye sore and annoying. I think we're better off without personally.

It's so sad, I think Rob's old avatar was hilarious. :(

Well I certainly understand that, but that's not a security issue, it's a nuisance issue. XD

I should know the answer to this, but I don't. (Oh look, Robert cared to somewhat explain)

Now a more on-topic question; there are some members, primarily ones who haven't been active recently to change their avatars, but those stull work. Is it just recent uploads of GIFs that are broken?

OK, IPB 3.4 is now in beta, so it will be ready soon. Hopefully this will be fixed in the update.
