We made some changes to the avatars and converted them from GIF to MP4 (movies) as they take significantly less space so the website will load faster. 

 

Can you please post screenshots of what you see? Also if you could let me know what browser you are using that would be great.

 

I use Chrome on Mac and I see all the avatars ok.

There was maybe like 10mins yesterday where they were not working due to permissions issues, but after that it should have worked. Let me know, thanks.

^ Yeah I still have these issues too with members avatars. Some I see dark, some completely white. But the problem seems to be gone after a few seconds. I used to see my avatar darker as well until I reuploaded the gif.

Sorry for the issues, I need to rewrite some code to make it use webm (for Chrome) and add "posters" so that they dont show up green/black while it loads. Hopefully it works as it should save a ton of bandwidth for both me and you guys (aka make the site load faster). The 'gifs' can be like 4mb+ in size and once i convert them to mp4/webm they are like 0.5mb with same quality. 

 

Ill try to get to it sometime this weekend.

Can we embed gifv & html5 video on BZ? Gfycat works, but they still end up increasing in size when embedded. We've spoken about the gfycat problem before though.

What do you mean increasing the size? And when you say embed you mean like

This is for the gfycat because it never got fixed.

The gifv videos from imgur look like instagram posts when embedded.

 

This is just a screenshot thumbnail.

Bella - Beautiful

Can you give me more details or post a screenshot? Thanks. 

[Stormbringer]

^ Search is pretty much not working, same as streams as "Content I posted in"

[Schemer]

Anyone have issues with embedding instagram posts? I can see it but not the photo.

Ends up looking like this:
