My avatar gif isn't working

[BetaChorale]

So a few weeks maybe a month or two back i commissioned someone to make an avatar for me, and it came out fine. I and the gif meet all of these requirements:

• The gif is exactly 100 x 100 pixels
• I have the 899 BTB avatar animation add-on (active)

Is there something i'm missing? it lets me use the file but it only shows a still frame. For reference, i have the gif on right now, and it's supposed to look like this.

have you ticked the "active" box in your collectibles/add on inventory?

Good idea, i'll try that- one sec :3

The GIF file size is too big. The max is 253.9 KB and your file is 400KB +, so you'll have to reduce it somehow.

Really? D: I have no idea how, and the one who made it's shop is temporarily closed forever!! Aaah, I was so excited to use it too T-T

you can prob ask any sig shops that do gifs to shrink the size for you, it'll prob only be like 10-20 btb
(i recommend pengutango!)

You could always send them a PM to take away some frames (i.e. the lightning one, etc.)

Thanks for the reference I'll ask them!

Instead of removing frames, would shrinking the size have the same effect?

It would be extremely small if it were to be re-sized. To fit the file size max, it'd be 60x60, unless you remove some animated frames.
[60 x 60]

and I'm sure Pengu can fix it somehow, given you are okay with removing some frames.

Ok, thank you! Such kindness!

but oh my gosh look at that tiny gif XD it's cute but you're right it's not big enough.

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is [100] by 100 pixels or 253.9 KB (whichever is smaller).

??? ?/ ? ? ?/?

Oh, i tried switching to Walker for a minute and it didn't work :/ But thank you for the suggestion

alternate would be to not reduce the number of frames or size dimensions, but the actual image quality for each frame

which I'm pretty sure there's some sites on the internet that will do that for free


so basically choices come down to

smaller image
choppier animation
reduced image quality

or some combination of these

Yep. I have the opposite problem since I generally assume (unless it's obvious like no tomorrow) everyone's a girl since most of the people I know on TBT... are girls. XD

Btw, you're talking about my user title right, being blue? As the color I usually use for my general post text color is purple.

No actually, I meant the background of your avi :3 I don't really take much time to look at the tiny pixel characters of everyone's avi and i just kinda skim it, so all I saw was mainly 2 people standing in blue- I really should have looked closer sorry ^ ^'
looking closer though your avatar is really cool such detail!
