XF 1.3 Is there any other option to get animated avatars to work ?

[RAHSTYLES]

without the use of imageik... I asked my serverguy and they said they can only do gd2 bcause it puts more server load. I have a shared? Is there any other option? I dont get why its animated on the profile page but in the postbit its not animated.. But for vb they had animated avi in post bit without the imagik..

Now that isnt a reason to leave xenforo.. but its like a pain in the back of my neck that i wont ever be able to have a animated avatar unless i go to a dedicated server... or vps.

Such a great software and vb does one thing better.. animated gif avatars..

I have updated the PECL version of ImageMagick.

I still have the same issue with no animation in postbit (ok in profile). How do I compile or recompile or is that advanced stuff? If so members may just have to forego animation.

Kier: Official support for animated avatars is coming soon, through the imagick PECL extension for PHP.

@Brogan said : It's worth mentioning that with the release of 1.0.3, this template modification is no longer required as long as you have the necessary extensions available on your server.

I suppose there is a thing to check -- have you set XF to use ImageMagick in the options?
