Uh, King, you wrote a broken userpic on this piece of paper

Is this userpic animated? Because it's supposed to be, but on my computer it only animates in Irfanview even though all of my other animated userpics (including the other new ones) work fine ( Read more... )

Weird. Why does it only do it with this userpic on this computer? Maybe there is something corrupted about one of the frames?

EDIT: Apparently, it's something in at least two of the frames. I tried making three mixed-up userpics out of two frames from this one and one frame from a different one, and none of them animated, but this mixed-up userpic did:

Maybe it also has to do with the operating system and/or the web browser. I have Windows Vista, and normally I use Internet Explorer 8 (in which the userpic isn't animated), but I just tried Google Chrome and Firefox and it's animated in both of those.

Apparently, the first and third frames of the userpic (as I discovered yesterday - see my reply to rovanda) are corrupted in such a way that any animated GIF including at least one of them (or at least one made with Gickr) will not animate in Internet Explorer. Weird.

Later on, I'm gonna try resaving the original frames under different filenames and see if it helps.

As I said to awehla, I'm gonna resave the first and third frames under different filenames and remake the animated GIF with them to see if it helps.
