Hey guys,
Anyone help me out with an animated gif in one of my projects.
They work fine as backgrounds but when i try to use them in a project, nothing?
It's the third image in the following project

Thanks in advance

You can't upload animated gifs to projects - because PHP can't really handle processing of animated gifs.
ok thank you
oh, really? I didn't know that...
so why it worked when -some time ago- I was testing here?
the animated gif is the last one in the slideshow...
Maybe your file size is over the 8MB limit.
Maybe it does work if you make sure to not resize the image at upload...using the 'full' or '9999' setting for Image Size.
@vaska - yeah, that makes sense: actually my .gif was set to fullpx
What doesn't work at all...is that you can't really make a thumnbnail of the animated gif.
in my example above the thumbnail was set to 200px, therefore the .gif wasn't resized -being less than that size- and probably that's why the sys-thumb was created without any problem (the slideshow I was testing makes use of the system thumbnails).
for once I was lucky and now I know why! ;-)
This thread has been closed, thank you.
