Avatars, avatars, AVATARS!

Don't stress.  Can't have animated avatars at the other place and this one is too awesome to change anyway.

Already finished.

A little payback if you use any of this on your site, or elsewhere where crediting would fit/be non-akward?  Gimme a linkback to the forum index.

-I got an idea for a variation.  It'll take a few minutes...

I like the 3 second freeze at the end.  Apply to the previous large version?  Do a centered crop like the last below?

That's some quality work right there. 

[Buster's Uncle]

It ought to be - it took long enough.

Any revisions you'd like while I've still got all the relevant files sitting open?  Limited-time offer...

How bout a static one at 100px.  This one didn't shrink so good, then I can use it at the other place. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Collapse it to just the last frame and reduce.  Easy.  Gimme a minute.

Other place Halloween forum?

[Buster's Uncle]

This still cracks me up.

I didn't like that the fade-in turned out not to begin until his head has already come to rest.  Thing has too many frames, honestly.  And the quality of the EOL sucked on that set, too.  So here.


I once had to troubleshoot an animated .gif avatar for Zoid at the Pond; it was legal limit size and should have worked -the forum resizing at all breaks animations and transparent backgrounds- but for some reason, reducing it by 1x fixed it.

Are you sure animated .gifs don't work at the other place?  Are you sure you've tried to put one on that was size/cropped to legal limit or under?  I did the last attached just in case - if that don't work, try cropping 1x before you give up - then try to talk an admin into enabling.  I've got a vague idea that these only work here if from the gallery or I install for you.

They WORK, they is against TEH RULES. 

[Buster's Uncle]

An argument of "look at this" is probably plenty to win an exception because, awesome...

[Unorthodox]

No tolerance, nuke them from orbit, remember?

It's an issue with volume over there.  We have several thousand online at any given time, and if you let everyone have animations, it'd bog things down in a jiffy. 

[Buster's Uncle]

THAT's a lot of ghouls and goths and sickos.  Okay, I can't speak to problems of scale in forum management.  I'll shut up.

Yeah, there's a LOT.  Gets overwhelming at times with the moderating, that's why the whole no tolerance nuke from orbit.

It's also why you could sell some masks over there...

There's a thread.  It has a URL.

I'll take more pictures.
