Profile photos that move?

Post by Mary_La_MaguitaUwU »

First I want to apologize if my English is not well understood, I still don't speak it fluently :( because is not my native language

Today I saw a user with a profile picture that moved, is it possible to post one like that, in GIF or Giphy format?

No worries! We're all learning languages here, mistakes are expected and encouraged 😊

Technically possible, if you can find an animated gif under 98KiB in file size, but not recommended unless the animation is very small and subtle, because other users will probably find it annoying.

Somehow, everyone who takes notes like this speaks fluently).

Почему-то все кто делает такие заметки, как раз разговаривают хорошо).

De alguna manera, todos los que toman notas así hablan con fluidez).

Oop, I was experimenting with gifs and sizes and I thought I'd leave the gif for now, but if my profile pic is in any way bothering anyone please let me know and I'll change it.

[mention]justheaven[/mention] Personally I'm OK with it. If people get too annoyed with animated GIFs, I've been testing out a code snippet for turning them into static images that re-animate when they're hovered. Maybe we'll add that as an option in the user control panel if there's demand for it.
