Animated images in the Image section...

I'm not sure if it's just me, but this image doesn't animate unless I click on it to view only the image. Not sure if this is intentional or not, so I figured I'd bring it up (I do feel a bit silly making another topic about the image section though).

The preview of the image is generated in a JPEG format, meaning that there is no way for it to be animated. It's a preview, and when you click on it you get the real image, which is the animated GIF.

Explained?

Ah, thanks Hibia. Feel free to lock this now guys.

I might change the preview image to reflect the original filename, which would fix this problem, but chances are I won't bother.

Wouldn't a whole bunch of .gifs animating at the same time just really lag the server/your computeR?

Its possible, but all the previews are very small in size, and the majority of images don't seem to be .gif files.

A GIF image is just data transferred and interpreted by your computer to be a pretty moving image. The server doesn't animate them, and it takes up no more CPU time than sending a jpeg or a text file.

=_= Hibia and his knowledge, make us look like fools.
