why are these not allowed any more?

and why does it say the maximum space for an avatar now is 100x100?

I still don't get it why I can't use the upload file feature.

Before the update it always ended up with an error, right now it says upload of file filed.

My file is both under 64x64pixel and the size limitation.

Sorry for the late reply.

Dunno about a new feature that would prevent animated gifs as avs, will ask Mouse about it.

About the upload file feature, last time I checked an av of -exactly- 64x64 pixels was required for the upload to work. No idea about that 100x100 thing, never tried to upload bigger or smaller avs.

When I want to change my av, I upload it to my webspace and use the corresponding option in the ng.com user cp to download it from there. File uploads don't work well with some browsers, and a number of routers/firewalls also prevent it.

Strange.

Which animated gif do you want to upload? The cat in your first post?

yeah.

I'm pretty sure that anybody that has an animated avatar now had uploaded them before the board got upgraded or whatever the heck happened.

Just tried it, a 9KB gif :

Don't bother trying to upload it. Just link from somewhere ( photobucket..etc. )
