Hi everyone!

I´ve seen lots of members here with nice animation avatars and somehow i haven´t got a single one working yet... i´ve been desperate trying to set a nice animation of my daugther and sister as my avatar and it doesn´t matter how much i do i can get it to work or at least if i don´t reduce the pic as hell and its then no usable as a avatar.

now my question.... it´s possible to get at least the ability to upload bigger avatars???? because the actuall size limitation is quite old and annoying if you ask me.

Here´s the pic i want to use as my avatar.. a small and cute animation from my daughter and sister:

exactly... size limits are quite old here i think..there are so many nice pics and animations you can use as your avatar but with those size limitations you don´t have much room to do something.. other forums doesn´t have problems with that pic tho.

oh.... ok that´s pretty bad then. and i fully understand you.

maybe naix can help u with that........btw the pic is very very cute

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Cutting the frame count and and decreasing speed may help.

or making every pic in the gif strip of a bit lower quality....(just a dark shot..)

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Reduced it to 9 colours and took cut it to 12 frames and it's still ends up just under 80kb. I am afraid this one is just not gonna happen...at least not with my crappy image editing skills XD

 

[@ruantec]

OK, i give up..... eitherway its pretty annoying the size limits we have here :???:

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Unfortunately they are neccessary though otherwise I would blow my cap within a week.

Indeed and agreed but such small sizes??? most of the forums nowdays allows more than that. anyways i think its there decision and i should respect it :thumb:

 

[Smooth Criminal]

wat about making it black and white(another shot in the dark).......

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Nope grayscaling does not help, in fact it's slightly bigger than reducing it to 9 colours.

Mostly because it takes the attention from what really matters: Post content. If we'd start having these large GIFs everywhere it'd look like a pr0nsite very soon. I think having things sober keeps things more uniform since everyone uses the same size of signatures (maxing every bit allowed), improving readability. But well, that's just my opinion

I think you´re right and thank you for that... i have no other choice than accept it even if i don´t understand many points of having such small sizes.. i do understand that a limit is needed which is obvious as they need to reduce bandwidth as much as they can... eventhough the size could be slighly bigger than what it is atm..

anyways is just my point of view and they should do what they think is right. but i just wanted to say my opinion about it and that´s no other than "size limits are great but when is too small it can be very annoying sometimes."

i would like to thank V1ncent for creating the small version of the animation for me and to all you guys for the great help and awesome explanations.

I still think that having pictures of your family on the Internet (or any personal picture in any case) is generally NOT a good idea, when you make the most basic win/lose analysis, but whatever.

 

[Exodus]

Why not, Proto? I imagine it'd only be a concern if you have/are making enemies.

 

[Paratech]

Trust me, I know what Proto means, I was slammed on EmuChrist / MAME World with my private pictures so yeah, you're asking for it by posting personal pictures.

 

[Exodus]

But why were you slammed?
