Hello.


 


I was wandering if it's at all possible to create an animated banner for this forum? 


I have a couple ideas in mind but, don't know if its something I should or rather can do.


 


Of course, I don't mean crazy animation that takes away from the forum visuals but rather, a subtle animation like stars glowing and dimming, a slight glimmer/gloss effect, clouds slowly floating by, or maybe even a character who's eyes can blink err something. 


 


Long story short: If the banner was to be a ".GIF" image file instead of a ".PNG" is it still possible to upload here? 


 


~Thanks in advanced.   :grin:

The system says it can take a .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, or .png but I don't think we've ever *tried* to load an animated .gif in as a banner... at least if we have it was before I was staff. It might be an interesting experiment, but we do have a good number of banners in the hopper right now waiting for a reveal, so it might be awhile before we can get to one.

 

Also due to the size of the banner, the filesize of an animated .gif might be... unfortunate for anyone with a limited bandwidth or data cap. So we'd have to evaluate the file once it was made to see if it would be too onerous for a banner.
