    Looks like my mods to fix animated avatars got stomped over in the 1.1.0 update.

    Most mods to the interface got stomped due to necessary upgrades of template files, but i'll look into having it fixed again if i can be bothered.

    Erm, that wasn't a template mod, it was a backend mod. Fixing it up is about a 10 second job - problem is I don't remember where in the filetree it is. There's something that references GD - I made a second class file in there called Imagick, and flipping a variable in that file to Imagick will make them work again.

    Alternatively, I think XF has added support for ImageMagick anyway, which you should be able to toggle in the admin control panel, which would be much more sane at this point than redoing the change I made before XF supported ImageMagick.

    oh yeah, combine your nerd powers to bring us animated avatars in main forum view :mex

    This post was a completely unnecessary waste of bandwidth
