Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 340  | Animated avatars on VB I just installed the latest version of VB on a new forum and my users are not able to upload animated avatars. I want to allow this. I have been looking around but can't find the settings. Any help? Thanks

| Admin CP ==> Usergroups ==> Usergroup Manager ==> [click usergroup to edit] ==> find Picture Uploading Permissions ==> tick the correct box. ==> Repeat for each usergroup you want to do this for.

| I believe if the filesize/dimensions is over your limit, vB might try to reduce the file to the proper size thus taking away any animation.

| Hard to tell, depending on how many frames there is in the gif, and how compressed it is, .gif files are usually anywhere from 20Kb to 2Mb.

| I usually set my avatar limit to 40kb but allow larger filesizes and dimensions for premium members.
