Mystic Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Name: Mystic Suggestion: Allow basic accounts to use animated profile avatars (or add it as a purchasable option on the store) Why should we implement this? It would allow people and degenerates to express themselves better How will this improve the Forums? It would at first be a testing phase, I know the prior ones were denied due to possible performance issues, no idea if the forums have been updated or improved since the last suggestion i figure its something people want, and might be worth suggesting again.

Guac Posted April 30, 2022 Forum Admin Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 -1 On 5/26/2021 at 5:44 PM, Ron said: This is correct. The main reason for only allowing certain groups animated avatars was simply due to optimization, it was never about being special or “cool kids only”. Our cache system isn’t optimal (wasn’t implemented by me) and we didn’t want mobile devices, or slower connections to have any significant load times. With that being said, it’s always better to deploy changes like this in small batches rather than forcing everyone to reset their avatar one day due to a performance issue. This was the main reason we only allowed it on certain groups. I haven’t touched the ACP in months as @Forseenhas mostly taken over my old role and I act as a Consultant when needed, he’s welcome to enable gif avatars for all users if he wishes to do so, but understand the negative performance impact it may have and also the pain-in-the-ass it is to reset all avatars like we’ve had to do in the past. My recommendation would be to only allow this if the current cache system is optimized; and understand it still may have a negative performance impact. They probably already know this, but @ Forum Adminshould never touch the cache settings unless you explicitly know what you are doing and have potential support from our host as it can be wonky. 1 8 Report 🎀 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚂𝚖𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚊 🎀 <3 Link to comment

Luther Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I agree, this should be an all or nothing situation, either everyone get's to use them or nobody does. But as an alternative, perhaps add it to the store as a package? 1 2 Report Link to comment

Give some use to the rep ranks. +1 my only gripe with this is there are many people on the forums who -rep just to do it. Many people will never hit this rank. I believe what Heart said, relating it to post count would be able to reach a wider demographic while keeping it somewhat unique. as alot of people struggle to keep rep. This would also reward and incentivize people to rate AARs and participate in community topics. Edited May 13, 2022 by Mystic 1 Report Longest Special Operations Member on the server.

Conrad Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 If it isn't gonna break shit do it, if it might break shit don't do it. Animated pictures aren't worth things breaking, but if its all good then no reason not to IMO. We have a pretty good limit on file sizes for profile pictures so i think load times won't get too crazy. 2 Report Link to comment
