The purpose would of been solely for the SC2 avatars in a smaller filesize compared to a GIF, not to allow the upload of SWF or FLV avatars, that's turned out to be a no-no, mostly thanks for Taer.

Give this a whirl:

Converts animated GIFs to animated PNG-- it reduces the file size somewhat. I tested it on your avatar and it reduced it from 1.4 MB to 1.2 MB (not a huge difference, but whatever).

Granted it doesn't work in IE either.

IE.. This whole site doesn't work right in IE. I'll give that a shot, thanks

Oh snap, it only works with FireFox it seems.

[IskatuMesk]

good thing no one uses any of those other browsers

Thank gourd for the avatar on the right side option...

Is there any realistic reason why you don't use Chrome? I consider the UI to be ahead of Firefox, which may or may not be a/the reason why the firefox 4 beta has options to poorly copy some of the Chrome elements.

Some people do like having all of the buttons and dials out in the open, though they probably never use them anyways.

I don't have any buttons and dials out in the open

firefox is a pos but it's the best pos tbh

An anti-bot measure have been added by requesting actual questions to be answered upon registration over Captcha, as well as once during posting for questionable posts. A trigger will be flagged when you answer this correctly to no longer ask you again.

[Lavarinth]

A tremendously large amount of issues arise using said feature for anti-bot measures. Users were unable to register. This has been verified today and reversed.

A new modification was released 1/24/2011 utilizing NuCaptcha. This will now be the primary anti-bot measure for us. More at www.nucaptcha.com

A very creative and simple to use reputation system has been added. d-(^.^)z

The reputation is good, but it's not CC without the pie.

Change the name to pie and I'll be happy.
