Gif's don't work.

So it isn't fixed yet? Seems to take a couple of days, maybe weeks. Wanted to upload some .gif pictures that I've edited to 160x160 but it doesn't seem to work... :( Hope it works as soon as possible.

mine isn't working

i hope you guys will fix this. i had this avatar since i joined (and became subscriber)

message for all the ppl who dislike animated gifs and felt the urge to express it here: yaaaaaaawn

It seems to me that this issue really isn't very high on the priority list. I hope I'm wrong.

This is just a guess, but they have a limited number of programmers, and most are probably working on the beta site (subscribers know what I mean).

So yeah, it may not be a priority, but I'm sure it will be fixed in time. After all, even old animated avatars are broken on the beta site. At least those still work on the live site.

In short, it's definitely in the queue, but where, I don't know.

Are you using a GMT offset or a city?

For all I know, you're the one who told me to use City instead of Offset, but since I don't remember, I figured it was worth a shot.

Oh, and I sure hope they fix animated GIFs soon. ;)

This is the end of the week.

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH GIMME MY MOVEY PICTURES BACK

Wish somebody would lock this thread... what more do you want? The developers are aware of the issue, they've said as much more than once and they're working on it. It's the weekend now, so this isn't getting fixed for a while. If you have a solution, send the code along. If you don't have anything helpful to say, stop talking.

I'm sorry, but I genuinely just don't see what a post like the one above is going to achieve. The bug has been reported to Last.fm staff, and they've acknowledged it.

I'm sure it's stored wherever they store details on bugs (trac, whatever) and they will fix it at some point. It's not like repeatedly posting here is going to remind somebody to go and fix it quickly.

There are less than 100 people working for Last.fm (it's still very much a small company), and with a new beta version of the site currently being fixed up they're probably very busy.

Hope this helps clarify why I was "lecturing"

Perhaps the fact that now this thread will appear in nicoinfurs' replytracker... so exactly like me writing "tag :P", but you already thought about this, didn't you?

its been a month since the first post...

Because they were uploaded before the new resizing code, and thus, the different sizes are cached, at least on the live site.

IOW, they're only resized once, and then are cached. So if they're cached under the old code, they work, but new uploads are resized using the new code.

On the beta site, I don't think any animated avatars work, because it uses different sizes, and thus, uses the new, buggy resizing code.

Now if you upload an avatar that doesn't need to be resized, at least on your profile, and it still doesn't work there, I don't even have a theory for that. Other than maybe they covert them to their own code, even when resizing isn't necessary.
