just wanted to say that this site should have GIF support for map screenies and avatars. The advantage of having GIF support is that you can have animated avatars and show multiple shots of a map without losing detail (its kinda hard cramming 3 shots into one pic, and you cant see detail of the pic)
Just and Idea...

Uhm, the reason GIF support is not enabled for av's is just that - animated support was left out since they were unwanted.
Map screenies....hmm. One good shot is enough for me to download a map, dunno about everyone else.

Yep one good shot.
Rotating/ Animated Gif's piss me off.
But that is just my opinion...

Just a thought.... But basically the reason that TWHL doesn't use GIFs is because not very many people like them?

Why would they piss someone off? Does the word make you angry?

No, they're just annoying - a static av is perfectly fine :/

They annoy the crap out of me. Nothing worse than a screen full of flashing gifs...
If your map is good enough, then you should only need one screenie. If it isn't, then you shouldn't be here.

Pff, they're still good for showing off maps. I want IMG tags back, and the map vault updated to support the same code as teh forums.

I think for avatars, it is fine as it is.
However, for maps, multiple screenshots should be allowed (With a maximum of 3 or 5 or something). Any good map isn't monotonous across it. The setting should vary across the map. Because of this, multiple screenshots allows you to showcase a bunch of your maps prime areas.

gifs get pretty annoying on forums. they usually have crap jokes in them, or some kind of message trying to raise the bearers l33tness. they could turn the forum (not on their own) pretty eletist.

Animated GIFs = teh pwn.
I mean, we all like pr0n... And there's avs containing pr0n...
Animated pr0n! It's godness!
Maybe...
Not.
Anyway, animated avvies are pretty cool though, and people tend to keep them not-that-annoying from what i've seen.
As for map screens? Why not? Seems fair and good - would raise the file size, but who cares anyway.
