I upload gif attachments and sinstead of vids i get pic? please help. Here is an example: This is a stick pivot animation, wwhich I was told had to be gif for the vid to show......they are gif files but after uploading they become jpgs? plz help! Thanks

you must upload your gif in an image host website like www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com and then you put the url link in your sig box at user cp!

thanks! Also how do I fit it to be all nice and rectangular?

... its a jpg first of all lol

If you make your .gif sig or avatar outside of the size boundaries allowed, the forum code will auto-resize it, and remove the animation elements.

Crap. So how do I make it the right size?


Never mind, I figured it out. Thanks!

I use Irfanview, its pretty simple and small. I really only use it for resizing pictures. It should resize it fine. Just remember that it will keep the figure of the picture, so it won't distort it into a square if it was originally a rectangle.

If you ever want to use anymore animated gifs, then make sure they're small like my current one. Although, I must admit, the size limit is very unfortunate for me. I have much better animated gifs that are a bit, or way to big.

Use imageshack. The limit is only if you upload it to the forums.
