I'm on several forums and typically use a martini avatar. My favorite (I use it on ADVrider and a couple of other forums), is animated in that the swizzle stick with an olives moves stirring the drink. Kinda cool! Anyway, when I first got on BMWMOA's forum I tried to upload it and got a window that says:
"You may not upload animated images."
It gives no reference to size. It simply says that I can't upload it because its animated. No big deal, I just found a non-animated substitute. Well, the other day I noticed an animated avatar and thought that the forum had changed to allow them, so I tried again and got the same window. I got curious and looked for others and found four animated avatars belonging to the following: Holly, lorazapan, Braddog, and deilenberger (there may be others). Obviously one can upload animated avatars, so the message I'm getting isn't right.
So, I thought it might be a matter of size. My animated avatar pixel size is 50 x 66 and is 3,854 bytes. I'm not a computer geek, but from what I read my avatar seems well within the size limits for this forum (the limits are 59 x 70 pixels and a byte size no bigger than 19,500). I then compared it to the four other animated avatars I found on this forum. The byte size of my avatar is smaller than three of them (the largest barely qualifies at 19,495), and my pixel size is smaller than two of them (the largest is 70 x 60).
Then I thought that it might be my computer, so I tried from three computers and I get the same window from each.
I'd like to use my moving martini! What gives?
