Hi how do I add a board logo to my forum? I read the wiki and attempted myself but I am having difficulty though.

Here is what I typed for the image links (see attachments)

Also speaking of logos I put a gif for my avatar but it is not working. (I enabled gifs) I used to have a mybb forum with that same issue.

Is this something with my host?

Thanks

Great thanks :) Maybe I should make a new thread but my avatar gifs are not working. Could it be a server issue? (I enabled gifs)

Thanks

Did you download the gif to your computer and then upload it? Try checking the option to Specify avatar by URL and then link the gif's url into the box that appears.

what do you mean they are not working?

The issue is that I have a gif of a spinning dice. But it won't spin. I had this problem with my mybb forum. Could it be a host issue?

Here are the avatar configuration options below. (see attachments)

What do I select to get the gif working?

Thanks  :)

I the gif is bigger than the allowed size set in the avatar settings then it'll get resized and displayed as a static image.  Make sure the gif is same size or smaller than the permitted size.

I got the gif to spin BUT the gif only spins halfway and stops. It does NOT loop. How do I fix this? The same issue of the gif starting and stopping happened on my mybb forum. Is it a host issue at this point?

Thank you for your help :)

Illori

can you provide a link to the gif so we can look into the issue further?

newbieforumaster

I am using the spinning dice gif from http://www.animatedimages.org/cat-dice-710.htm?page=1

(heres the image I want to use)



Thanks :)

If it happens on both SMF and MyBB, the problem isn't the code but your browser. Seems to work fine in Chrome for me.

DO NOT pm me for support!

It works temporarily in chrome and safari for me. The dice spins once and then stops permanently when I refresh a page the same behavior repeats.

Illori

can you try it on another computer?

^ and try Chrome in incognito mode

Illori

did you try on another computer? several of us have confirmed it works correctly, so it is something on  your computer.

newbieforumaster

(Sorry to bump) I tried on a different computer (ipad) but no luck :(

Works for me.

If you upload it, you lose the animation.  If you link to it it works.

Ok :) But how do I make it animate by simply uploading it and NOT linking to it?

Thanks :)
