Uh, King, you wrote a broken userpic on this piece of paper

[matt1993]

Is this userpic animated? Because it's supposed to be, but on my computer it only animates in Irfanview even though all of my other animated userpics (including the other new ones) work fine.

In fact, even the userpic I animated with gickr.com AFTER I uploaded this one works.

EDIT: I fixed it by taking screenshots of each of the frames in Firefox, cropping everything except the frames in the screenshots, resaving them, and putting the new copies of the frames into Gickr.com, and now it should work because I have it open in Internet Explorer and it's animated. Yay!!

I'm gonna repost an entry on this piece of journal

It's animated on my computer. :)

Weird. Why does it only do it with this userpic on this computer? Maybe there is something corrupted about one of the frames?

EDIT: Apparently, it's something in at least two of the frames. I tried making three mixed-up userpics out of two frames from this one and one frame from a different one, and none of them animated, but this mixed-up userpic did:



EDOT: HA! It's the first and third frames that are messing it up, because this mixed-up userpic works fine:

It's not animated for me.

Maybe it also has to do with the operating system and/or the web browser. I have Windows Vista, and normally I use Internet Explorer 8 (in which the userpic isn't animated), but I just tried Google Chrome and Firefox and it's animated in both of those.

Apparently, the first and third frames of the userpic (as I discovered yesterday - see my reply to rovanda) are corrupted in such a way that any animated GIF including at least one of them (or at least one made with Gickr) will not animate in Internet Explorer. Weird.

Later on, I'm gonna try resaving the original frames under different filenames and see if it helps.

I use Internet Explorer too, not sure what version.

I've solved the problem. Thanks to all of you for your input!

As I said to awehla, I'm gonna resave the first and third frames under different filenames and remake the animated GIF with them to see if it helps.

Yay! I like the new one.
