How did you do your avatar.gif with such a smooth animation and under the file size limit?
The avatar filesize must be between 0 and 48 KiB

I was gonna say I used an external link in the past but apparently that doesn't seem possible anymore on the forums and it is hosted on U3DA.com, on top of that the file is 44 kb so... I used magic I guess?

Actually I'm pretty sure it's some clever Gimp trickery optimising the GIF and manually controlling the frame-rate per frame, that's how I usually do the loops. Also there aren't exactly that many colours so I guess that helps reduce the filesize as well. I orginally created the avatar for my ModDB profile many years ago.
I love animated PNGs, shame they never caught on. I used to make them and send them to friends, they'd freak out because they didn't expect a png to move.trueBlue wrote: ↑19 Apr 2022, 14:31https://ezgif.com/apng-makerMikomDude wrote: ↑19 Apr 2022, 09:34I was gonna say I used an external link in the past but apparently that doesn't seem possible anymore on the forums and it is hosted on U3DA.com, on top of that the file is 44 kb so...

Gimp can do animation?
You can run Gimp > Filters > Optimise (For Gif/Difference) althought it looks like you already did something like that.
