For T Man or the person who is in charge...
Wednesday, July 12, 2006 by TYCUS | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
For T Man or the person who is in charge of this kind of issues:
well, it's more like a request., is it possible to have a animated avatar? and to submit a GIF preview of our skins some where in the site?
about the avatars: a 50x50 GIF file (no larger than 15k)
and about the skins: The preview image must not exceed 100x100 pixels; not for WB skins or Wallpapers(yea i know.., who have seen a good GIF wallpaper?), no i mean on little things like cursor or beatnick animations and i dont know, maybe also on FX skins(are they skins
?)
just two little ideas

| I get the " Upload Successful " Message - yet the old one is still here. |
Just a Q....are you upping the new one with a new filename?...
TYCUS ... I think for many, animations all over the place are more a distraction than a benefit. I for one wouldn't support their adoption...

Yes
...thats the first question buzzh58 asked me...he was able to change his today . Although he had tried a few times and his cursor only spun endlessly on other occasions ...today he got it on first try. When I do it - it says successful..
So I had buzz try to upload mine for me. He also got the " successful upload message but it was still the same avetar from 2 years ago. I have deleted all cookies and cache etc. Not sure why this is happening. I cant change my desktop screen shot on that page either.
ps: both buzz and I are using the newest version of FF...but I tried in IE 6 too - same result.

ok..who fixed it.....
this time when I uploaded it - page changed but stayed a blank white page- cursor spun for 15 minutes then I got bored so I hit reload - I got the " post data message and do you want to retry click ok " so I did and presto ...avetar uploaded.....only problem ..wasnt exactly the one I wanted. sigh....but for now..ill just leave it.
PS : I changed the file name to just " avetar " just in case . Both had " fairyy " as the beginning of file name - not sure it mattered but was worth a shot.

smedley i would assume if the smileys are'nt animated in your browser then you need to tick "show animations in web pages" in your windows "internet options" clik on "advanced" tab and tick the box "show animations in web pages" under multimedia ?? if that don't work then i'm buggered as to what needs to be done apart from giving me that comp and buy a new one

Po'
i remember a friend having a similar problem with FF a while ago...
try checking the follwoing:
1. enter "about:config" in the FF url bar
2. find the entry for "images.animation_mode"
3. check it has "normal" as it's value, if not, change it to "normal"
4. see if it works now...
if it doesn't work you could try re-creating your user profile in FF by going to c:/documents and settings/(your user name)/application data/mozilla make a backup of the Firefox directory, then delete it. FF will re-create it when you re-start FF, and re-install your extensions....
if none of that works, it's probably some setting in ZA, and i dont use ZA anymore, so i can't find the setting
good luck and happy hunting

Thanks liquidguru and xSCORPx . It was my ZA. But, you were the first 2 to offer help on this in weeks. Thanks again! I wouldn't have known what to look for.

A little thing like changing a 50x50 avetar - 45 minutes later - sign in - sing out - delete cookies - cache - sign in sign out - upload 15 times. End up with same avetar. The irritating part is the message you get.
Upload successful in one place then upload failed above it. I only uploaded one item. Talk about a mixed message.

I'm not that animated . . I don't need my avatar to be.
It's not like we have much of a say . . . but I vote "No". I'll stick with skinning the site (hoping for aquarium skin support!)
