XF 2.0 Animated gif for avatar

[anon666]

Hi, some users of my forum have asked me how they can use gifs or animated images as their profile image. XenForum accepts gif images but they don't move or show any animation.

How can you see the movement in the avatars?

Thank you

You must use ImageMagick as your image processor instead of GD in the ACP.
This will require that you (or your host) make the ImageMagick PECL's are available for PHP to use and that your host/server supports ImageMagick.

Yes, OK

Unfortunately, there seems to be a restriction on the file size of the animated avatar that can be uploaded. Does anyone know how to fix this/extend it?

That's usually a server-side config with ImageMagick or with your server PHP config for file upload limits.

Check the upload_max_filesize setting in PHP.
