A warm greeting to the community!
Strolling around the marketplace, I have found a profile with an animated icon, so, as curiosity is human nature I downloaded said icon and discovered it’s a gif, and it surpasses Audiojungle’s size of 50 kb, not to mention how could a gif be uploaded as a profile icon.
I tried uploading a gif myself and even after adjusting size and resolution it still says unsupported format. Am I missing something?
This was an old option, there is no longer available upload a gif on picture profile.
Thank you for the quick reply!
I had slightly suspected that, however I am curious as to why such an option has been removed, I figure being gifs they aren’t that much of a bandwidth hog. Could we ask for such a feature to be implemented again or does someone know (maybe a moderator) the reasons why we don’t have this option anymore?
GIF is not needed.
Just thinking that all the avatars will be moving is getting bad… xD
As usually i see them when Im drunk
I imagine as a user it would be very annoying if everyone has a gif thumbnail and the whole screen is moving. Plus it would slow down the webpage loading, which is a no-no for a slick user experience.
Thank you all for your input, indeed it does make sense.
A toast to creativity!
