Are Animated avatars possible ? If so, size limits are what exactly ? Becaiuse I want to use this, and resizing it screws it up http://31.media.tumblr.com/ba7deb6c8...d7jwo4_250.gif

[Bagpuss]

Several GateWorlders have had animated Avs,but the file size ,number of frames and the pixel size seems to be way too high on the gif you've linked to, so the uploader can't cope.

That said, there's definitely a way to reduce the gif,so take a look here (Link) and ask Britta to take a look.

I'm just waiting to hear back from Darren, then the Omnipedia should be back online.

I caught the tail end of it, hence my question.

Looking forward... It's also Parkinson's Awareness Month, though a theme on that might be a bit shaky*.

* yes, pun intended. Not meant in bad way but sometimes humor is a good way to deal with the illness (not me).

[Bagpuss]

To be honest, I can't really see a way to do post/rep titles based on Parkinson's or other conditions,but there's nothing wrong with generating interest and awareness.None of us know what lies ahead in medical terms for ourselves or for our friends and families.

Could always start an Awareness Thread and make sigs and avs to offer others to get the message out on how to recognise the symptoms ,and refer readers to the Charity websites?

I liked your pun.One of my fellow Cardiac Rehab patients wears her "I'm not drunk-I have Parkinson's" badge very proudly.She said some time ago that strangers laugh ,but often then go on to ask her deep questions about her ways of dealing with her symptoms.

Hey all,

Just popping my head in to say the Omnipedia is back. Darren will provide an update or more info in due course, but thought i'd let people know quickererer.

[lame moose (mocha)]

how wonderful! the omnipedia has come back to life. i know several people who will be very happy. thank you whoever fixed it.

[Falcon Horus]

Is there a particular reason why my video shows up as a link and not as a video? I put it in spoiler-tags, and video-tags so it should show up as video and not just a link.

[Bagpuss]

Is this the right thread? See test(link)

Did you press the video link option or type in the tag manually? All I did was use the button.Maybe there's a glitch somewhere!

[Falcon Horus]

I just copy and pasted the link, using the handy tag-button. I noticed yours worked, so it's probably just something on my end.

Thanks for checking anyways.

[Bagpuss]

Y'welcome Falcon!

A few Tablet/phone users have been having trouble embedding vids too.We can't confirm whether it's a browser glitch or Vbb-related.
If anyone's still having the same problem,please let us know.Pm the details if you prefer not to ask in this thread.

So was wondering, how about a Mass Effect theme? based on the game trilogy, I noticed there are a few fans of the games on this board
