You used to not be able to do this, as far as I recall, which is funny, because those aforable kiwi-supporter images are .avif files.
I have created animated WebPs for myself and others and they worked. You can check @Otterly 's avatar which I made which is such. There was an interesting glitch, though. Animated WebP supports a long frame delay but last time I tried uploading such an image, it was auto-converted in some manner which ate the frame delay such that the animation played immediately. My intention was to make an avatar that just moved very rarely in order to produce "wait - did I just see that?" response on rare viewers. Attached is an avatar with a very long frame delay (about 10mins, iirc) which I can do without extra frames or file size. I worked to get it down very small in an attempt to avoid triggering any kind of re-encode that might be losing the frame delay. Reduced it to 384x384 pixels and 1MB, I've attached here directly. But when I made it my avatar, it animated immediately with no delay. I presume there must be some re-encoding taking place which removes it. I've not worked out anything that avoids re-encoding the image (like keeping it under a certain size or dimensions).
Nah, got errors this time. Here's the console output:
GIFs support that as well and it does work on the forum as I've seen users do it before. @quaawaa had this setup with his variation of avatars and I remember someone else did something similar with an extremely long delay, then show the surprise for a few moments before returning to normal.
Does the menu look like this with everything grey?
i miss when i could open making a reply on its own dedicated page and it had like a more full editor layout, and it kept me from accidentally getting confused on what tab was my reply and which one contained the posts
Thank you both! All good now.
Hey, hey, hey, I'd tried turning off/on/off BBCode yesterday, and it didn't resolve the behavior. But thank you!
